Quien es mas macho?

Here it is, week 11 of the 2009 NFL season, and Mumia Abu-Jamal still sits on death row, sent there by the hetero-normative white patriarchy that runs our criminal INjustice system.  Even more INjust is the fact that Bill Belichick was unable to challenge an obviously sexist call made by a cadre of corporatized old white men on fourth-and-one last Sunday, because he had to burn all of his timeouts slowing down the gang rape that is the Colts’ hurry-up offense. ‘No’ means ‘No’!  This was a real shame, because Abort for Africa—a womyn’s collective that knits scarves and sells them to fund free abortion clinics in sub-Saharan Africa, and of which I am the only openly male member—had this entire quarter’s earnings down on the Patriots to win at 1.5 to 1.    Unfortunately, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld’s next rape safari to Rwanda will not be countered with the free gynecological care, family planning services, and penis fly traps that this worthy charity provides.

Speaking of Mumia, I will be organizing a candle light vigil outside of his penitentiary tonight, demanding that he be released immediately and instated as the starting running back in Miami.  INjust or not, he must be just ripped after 28 years in prison.  Practice your chants now.  If our voices are not heard, silenced by the phallic batons of anti-speech shock troops, I suggest you put your money down on Carolina to cover 3 at home versus Miami.  Miami lost Wildcat martyr Ronnie Brown to an ankle injury/endemic institutionalized racism , and I think that gives the Dolphins a bleaker outlook than real dolphins or wildcats.

Sex is about power and violence, and so used to be the Baltimore Raven’s defense.  Not so anymore.  I think that Peyton Manning will penetrate early and often, and then flee to the sideline in the second half, shrouded in the silence of his rape culture enabler teammates and coaching staff.   It’s a safe bet that Indy will cover 1 on the road in Baltimore.   A sure bet is that the Baltimore defense will be told it was ‘asking for it’, and then be ridiculed and marginalized for coming forward.

I think Arizona will cover 9 at St. Louis because several of the Cardinals’ key players have dread locks, and in Rastafarian culture, power is derived from the length of one’s dreads.  Sure, Rastafarianism is exceptionally patriarchal and xenophobic, but it’s their culture and we can’t judge it.  In fact, we need to respect its beliefs more than those of our own cultures.  This is the only path to true understanding.  We can, however, judge the St. Louis Rams to be a horrible, horrible team.  Their culture is one of losing and losing big, and I think that tradition is kept alive for at least one more Sunday.

Those are my picks for this week.  I hope you win some money, even though all money is rape and capitalism is the biggest gang rape ever known.
