   What would village idiots do without villages?   
      
   It remains an underplayed, perversely comical episode at the   
   junction of sports and their unyielding devotion to combine with   
   the lowest forms of rap music, as if one can no longer exist   
   without the other.   
      
   Thus in October 2019, the University of Kansas apologized for   
   inviting often-arrested, N-wording, women-objectifying   
   pornographer Snoop Dogg, of late a Roger Goodell-approved invite   
   to “entertain” at the Super Bowl — the latest in a selection of   
   Goodell’s Greatest Gutter Halftime Hits — to kick off the   
   school’s basketball season.   
      
   At a KU in-arena rally for the men’s and women’s teams, Mr.   
   Dogg, as if essential to the night’s purpose, performed his   
   stock-in-trade: vulgar music and crotch-aimed skits, including   
   strip club-borrowed pole dancing, also featured and performed —   
   as per NFL invite — by Jennifer Lopez at Super Bowl LIV in   
   February 2020, except Mr. Dogg’s KU show included a make-it-rain   
   money shower.   
      
   Then KU had to pretend to be distressed and surprised that Mr.   
   Dogg did what he does. Athletic director Jeff Long expressed his   
   revulsion at what anyone with a partial clue would have known to   
   expect:   
      
   “We apologize to anyone who was offended by the Snoop Dogg   
   performance. … We made it clear to the entertainer’s managers   
   that we expected a clean version of the show and took additional   
   steps to communicate to our fans, including moving the artist to   
   the final act of the evening, to ensure that no basketball   
   activities would be missed if anyone did not want to stay for   
   his show.   
      
   “I take full responsibility for not thoroughly vetting all the   
   details of the performance and offer my personal apology to   
   those who were offended. We strive to create a family atmosphere   
   at Kansas and fell short of that this evening.”   
      
   From the movie, “Who Knew?” Snoop Dogg’s shows don’t include   
   clean versions.   
      
   In 2017, the NHL, appealing to the low and desensitized, had Mr.   
   Dogg perform at its All-Star festivities. Naturally, he put on a   
   vulgarity-filled show. The NHL, as the NHL does, pretended it   
   didn’t occur. NBCSN apologized for the NHL’s lack of discretion.   
      
   So last week, there was an apology from the ESPN Manning   
   Brothers for inviting and indulging the steady mumble of   
   profanities that casually spilled from guest star Marshawn Lynch   
   during their “alternative” “Monday Night Football” show.   
      
   Lynch clearly didn’t care that he was on live national TV. He   
   was being true to his classless character — the one that brought   
   him fame, acclaim, honors and emulation for grabbing his crotch   
   as he scored touchdowns.   
      
   ESPN didn’t warn them away from Lynch? Stupid question. ESPN   
   selectively covets such attention. The Mannings had no idea?   
   Grown men, they could have stopped Lynch with his first crudity,   
   but they didn’t. They waited until Lynch was done and gone.   
      
   So we’re again moved to ask: “Where are we going?” “Why are we   
   headed there?” and “What’s the upside?” Why must we always be   
   headed down, even while our sports and their TV networks   
   continue campaigns imploring us to treat one another with   
   greater respect and dignity, especially as they relate to race?   
      
   Lynch is an NFL version of Snoop Dogg, parlaying rank public   
   anti-social behavior into successful business. (See: Snoop Dogg   
   commercial endorsement deals, now including endless Corona beer   
   ads.)   
      
   His crotch-grabbing career — the NFL Store sold a framed photo   
   collage that included one of him in the act — which included   
   misdemeanor pleas after a DUI arrest and another for illegal   
   possession of a gun, was quickly followed by starring roles in   
   Subway sandwich ads and an appointment by the NFLPA as its   
   “first-ever chief brand ambassador.”   
      
   Gee, wonder who finished second to Lynch in the NFLPA’s   
   selection?   
      
   In 2020, Princeton’s senior class invited Lynch to be its Class   
   Day speaker, citing his “sustained professional excellence” to   
   fulfill “our goal … to invite a speaker who embodies the various   
   experiences we have shared as a community during our Princeton   
   tenure; someone whose professional and personal passions speak   
   to the service-focused and intellectually rigorous interests   
   core to the University.”   
      
   Yes, all Princeton grads should aspire to the bar set so high by   
   Marshawn Lynch, who the senior class’ invite emphasized is a   
   social activist and role model.   
      
   COVID-19 put an end to that wishful, nauseating con. But it’s   
   all a con, many more to come.
