TKC SATURDAY NIGHT PLAYLIST!!! MAYWEATHER VS.MCGREGOR FIGHT NIGHT REMINDS US THAT KANSAS CITY AND THE NATION LOVE MEANINGLESS RACE BAIT!!!

Tonight, just about every Kansas City dude over 30 who harbors the mistaken illusion of  disposable income will at least keep tabs on a completely inconsequential sporting match.

What's worse is that anyone with even a cursory understanding of sport realizes that this charade is nothing more than a sideshow intended to play to the reptilian brain of bored Americans.

The Mayweather vs. McGregor fight is a race baiting farce geared toward fools who deserve to lose their money.

Sure, Conor McGregor was a great MMA competitor but his skills are mostly useless in a boxing ring . . . Also, Floyd Mayweather has spent nearly a decade making millions by promoting "EPIC" fights that mostly involve him running around the ring, tiring opponents and then winning off points in a disappointing and anticlimactic performance almost EVERY TIME.

Still, the promotion of this fight offered insight into what this match is really about . . . Adorned in a suit, McGregor stole the spotlight and with wild boasts, insults and wild hand waving in a style that seemed as if it paid homage to the current President and every other political leader throughout history who has championed rhetoric over action.

Meanwhile, mainstream newsies have attempted to gloss over widely understood fact that both Mayweather & McGregor are just cashing in on this media circus as they head into retirement.

And yes, let's not forget that not so long ago, in a story that this blog broke, a disgraced City Council member was embroiled in a controversy involving $15K of City Hall cash and a comical search for Floyd Mayweather for a local charity appearance that never really happened

But i digress . . .

Like every battle based mostly on racial identity politics and public spectacle, it's the American people who ultimately lose and end their days with disappointment.
