ATHLETE

Is being great defined by people, level, stats, or legacy? Is greatness defined by the activity on or off the plane of the chosen field? Does love for a career or sport come from the passion for it, family heritage or the fire of poverty beneath one’s feet?

I believe competition that creates great experiences seems to be blinded in the eyes of its audience and organizations. Some may agree to also see experiences at times governed.

For example, when we look at boxing. Wouldn’t a bigger draw be fighters equally matched, fighting for it all from the beginning. Rather than this record fluffing approach. I get “undefeated” makes the money in this system. But, that’s the problem. What war goes without losses and respect.

It’s almost like a NFL draft, who will be a bust and who will barely cling on to the hype. Who can stay healthy enough, long enough. Some surprise you and that factor alone wouldn’t change. I want you to really think, about these questions. What’s wrong with fighters getting into a war every time, because it’s equally matched?

What’s wrong with a loss? What would it take away from boxing for it to be done in 14-16 oz gloves with the human beings in mind? Real creative marketing can be done to create the fight hype, with real athletes in their own light. Boxing is its own solar system of athletes, fans and professionals.

Almost synonymous to the music industry, on how I believe they shoot themselves in the foot fiscally. It’s the bigger picture looking at all the songs one artist can create throughout a career, producing great revenue that are cut down with an unfair deal, and misguided practices for profit driven control.

It has to be understood, naturally a true athlete & true artist given just an opportunity and professionally fair contract. Can reach stronger and more honest heights as their career and music is going to be a vast experience for their fans based on their journey through life, in which the revenue is going to come regardless.

Just as if fighters, had the chance to fight more often, in heavier gloves. Leading to greater stories and drama in the boxing ring. Don’t get it twisted, 14-16 oz gloves still hurt. It’s about more than the pain, it’s about the evolution of the event, for the fans, the longevity of the athletes. More fights, trading out most of the hits taken in sparring and injury time. Doubling the monthly revenue.

There’s nothing wrong with an athlete counting on more to become a fan favorite than a record. Really earning the crowd. Really planning their ring persona, testing their mind, will and ability. Their needs to be real marketing for fights.

It can be more enjoyable, than this fake/real sometimes hostile aggression, display of pushing and shoving and shit talking. You telling me, equally matched fighters in multiple levels with a natural 10-0, 15-0, 20-0 run in between a possible loss won’t keep fans piling in.

Do you believe this won’t make fan favorites. Do you truly believe an easy 75+, 100+ fight career for most boxers won’t gain interest. Raise and extend the G.O.A.T standard. A fighter wants to fight, a artist wants to create, and a visionary wants to build.

In so many ways the formula for generating revenue and income is more obsolete in most industries for the very people it’s built by, on, for, and profitable too. Is it racism? Is it gate keeping? Is it cruelty? What is stopping the evolution?

Now without just diving into the dark history of yesterday as sole reason. Today, we can say, a new world exist. Sure, honest men and women can make sense of why it has been run the way it has been for decades and centuries. But, I believe some things also stem from the lack of vision for the true opportunity for all to capitalize in multiple industries from the owners, careered positions, athletes, fans, to the clients, customers, listeners and audiences.

Industries should be recognized as it’s own universe, worlds and planets within this world. A new understanding for the industry, creates a new atmosphere to protect all that is within it. What are the organizations without the athletes who sacrifice for the competition? The want to win the lottery, without buying the ticket.

Equally, what are the organizations without the fans that go far and beyond dedicating the time and money for the team, events, and success. You can pay talent, but you can’t buy dedication. You can mold athletes, but athletes are born.

A student of experiences, could beat one who’s foundation to win is solely based on his experience. There’s a paradigm in careers today, where people do it more because they can, feel they have too and for what they can make. Rather than because it’s a true passion or strong interest. Doing it all your life, and having success. Doesn’t mean your passionate about it.

Those passionate are most likely on the sidelines, just out of view working or searching for the fuel to get closer to their passions. They are truly in a battle to become great and fighting against the struggles within their homes, communities, upbringings, more than likely poverty, abuse and trauma experiences which blindside the youth now adults mentally and opportunity wise.

Why not have people passionate about food, agriculture and serving people, working solely in the food industry (universe)? If you love it, you don’t cut corners. Life comes and goes, people come and go. We are getting older, as I write this.

While life naturally changes your position, be it age, choices or physical capabilities. All people are going to have their career changes. Career choices should be a financially supported path in life. Not a profitable possibility for a future.

Be it for training, creating teams, individual events, pursuit of sports, entertainment, if this is what a person wants to dedicate their life to doing. Sponsorships, funds, and financial support should be there to have stability, opportunity and a good life. Fuck a greedy man’s war or a over exotic lifestyle.

Everyone needs a place to call their own, a new car that’s environmentally friendly, safer in mass use and an opportunity to experience life outside of the pursuit of their career. Investing into the foundation (the people) of arts, entertainment and industry career paths will fuel new heights.

Friends, passionate fans and families make a crowd, buyers and supporters. Even if some people don’t have that. Marketing and support can always fill bleachers, arenas, stadiums and shops. Opportunity, passion and balance is always profitable.

The NFL will always be the NFL, 32 teams or 64 teams. The NBA will always be the NBA, 30 teams or 90 teams. The math isn’t impossible to structure, synchronize and profit for more opportunities. The life of those who don’t get to make it, “Prime Time” doesn’t have to be dramatically different. Ecosystems exist for all to thrive in their passions. Entertainment, Arts, Education, Manufacturing, Agriculture, & Environmental.

There can still be strong foundations as if careers and leagues were planets and moons orbiting off the gravity of it’s greater “Suns” (predecessors) with an abundance of opportunity, income and spotlight for all choices, talents and skill levels. These are more than hobbies. These are more than jobs. These are bodies, merely shells for our hearts to bring life too.

This goes beyond sports. This goes for many careers in all industries (universes) and their solar systems. We should be in a time, where people have a profession and great life outside of it. The money to be made around the world in all industries for all people are 50x greater with the proper nurturing, care and foundation for the people in the areas they want to be in.

Why make a plane, to pull a train, to carry the tracks to guide a ship?

No man, woman or child should suffer. Of course the more you want, the more there is to do. But, not at the level of poverty. Ending the society plague of poverty, violence towards others, financial means leading to the harming of others, and educational withholding is reparation enough for all.

I just want to be an athlete, so I have analyzed the problems of being an athlete, worker, entrepreneur and citizen of a corporation. I have created many solutions for myself to be of service in helping this evolution of problems turn into solutions with your help.
