What a simmering stew of toxic personalities. No wonder the US can't make a decent run in the World Cup, they are too busy cutting each other off at the knees. What happened to the concept of the greater good of the team, sacrifice and doing whats best for everyone instead of trying to advance your own agenda?!

All these past relationships that are intertwined seem like Nepotism with extra steps and favoritism.

Let me unpack a few things and try to get up to speed on your beliefs; you believe that Ye has been assigned a handler that may/may not have a government Intelligence background, and that the handlers operate like mob enforcers to enforce a slave contract? Who do these handlers report to?

Does everyone have a handler? Presidents, Congresspeople, Heads of Corporations? When are they assigned?

I don't fault him for that. Just the missed opportunity to consider bringing other HBCUs up to what Colorado is at right now. He had a great opportunity to really build something instead of cutting to a program that has had recruiting violations and sex scandals.

That football program doesn't deserve to get that break like all those HBCUs could use. They are gonna eat him up and his legacy will go with it. (I hope not but thats how I see it)

I had hoped he would stay longer or maybe step towards another HBCU like Howard University. There is no shortage of small programs that are really close to exploding to national prominence if they just get the exposure. And thats what he brings.

The college football system doesn't need another bloated, scandal-plagued program built on the skill of young black men and supported by spoiled, rich, white people. It needs black athletes to build and support more HBCUs and help make those into athletic powerhouses, elevating those programs to National prominence.

He had a chance to give back to College football what it gave him. And he could have had a legacy much richer than just a Super Bowl winner and Hall of Famer. He could have been the Bear Bryant of Black College Football, held in the same reverence as John Madden. Thats a legacy.

My point was that he was supposed to help build a system that HBCUs would be elevated to national prominance. These programs have been underserved and underseen in the shadows of the spotlights of bigger, whiter programs. He said it was "his calling" and now only 2 years later, he traded that for a bigger spotlight instead of helping build that. There was something bigger there that he traded in, a legacy as the usher for a new age of seeing these underserved programs flourish and get the recognition they deserve.

Black kids have been helping build these football juggernauts so that white kids can brag about their school. What about those black colleges and universities that have been looked over? He could have elevated that whole system but chose to chase glitz, glam and drama. He could have helped build something bigger.

He abandoned "his calling" after just two seasons. He was supposed to help build and establish a footprint on the HBCU program but left it behind for something shiny. I'm disappointed because he really could have accomplished something bigger and helped put a spotlight on to these historically black colleges and universities sports systems, elevating them to national prominance.

He has enough money, he has celebrity, he has the accolades. So whats left; a legacy. And instead of it being elevating these programs and systems, it will just be another chapter of glitz and drama.

Wouldn't it just be easier to boot someone from your life and never allow them near you? He got a divorce, Kim left him. At what point does he not look at the spiral his life has become and not take stock?

He decides what and who is around him. Its his responsibility to manage that facet.

Also, this: https://www.mercurynews.com/2017/08/30/kanye-wests-breakdown-last-year-was-caused-by-drug-use-insurance-company-suggests/amp/

Which leads me to believe that Cannabis, being highly psychoactive, can set off an episode in people with certain conditions, like bipolar disorder and exacerbate it.

Why wouldn't he just boot Pasternak out of his life?

A belief that is based upon shadow evidence, not direct evidence with a pinch of a similar incident or organization whose truth has been revealed.

An example; the government is spreading chem trails. No direct evidence exists that this is happening. However, the CIA did disburse a specific bacteria over an American city once to see if it was effective by being aerosolized.

Oh Sweet Baby Jesus, I have been wanting this for a long time. He killed the team that I grew up loving and reduced it to a crappy mess of an organization and wasted talent.

Good bye, Danny Boy, don't let the door hit you in the butt on the way out.
