Have a question for boosters at the University of Texas?

有問題想問德州大學的助推器？

What are you in this for now, boosters are the biggest force keeping the eyes of Texas.

你現在在這幹什麼，助推器是讓德州人眼紅的最大力量。

The school song retires to a minstrel show alive.

校歌活生生地退到了民歌表演中。

A university organized committee released a report saying that the song has no racist intent, but no one should be forced to sing it.

一所大學的組織委員會發表報告說，這首歌沒有任何種族主義意圖，但不應該強迫任何人唱它。

Though the president of the school hopes all will sing, many students, including football players and band members, deemed offensive and would like it to be replaced.

雖然學校校長希望所有的人都會唱，但許多學生，包括足球運動員和樂隊成員，認為令人反感，希望它被取代。

Booster's not only wanted the song to say, but also demanded players stand for the song and sing along after every game.

布斯的不僅想讓這首歌說出來，還要求玩家在每場比賽結束後都要為這首歌起立，並一起唱。

The ensuing controversy has made the school look as though it cares more about a song than winning much like Ole Miss look when it clung to the Confederate flag.

隨之而來的爭議使得學校看起來好像更在乎一首歌，而不是勝利，就像密西西比大學的樣子，當它依附於聯邦國旗時。

In spite of its obvious antagonism toward black people and how it affected recruiting, Texas football boosters would rather chase talented players away than be forced to care about the way they feel.

儘管它對黑人有明顯的敵意，以及它如何影響招募，德克薩斯橄欖球助推器寧願趕走有天賦的球員，也不願被迫關心他們的感受。

So what's the point of giving away all that money?

那麼，送那麼多錢有什麼用呢？

We generally assume boosters want their dollars to turn into winds but this crew was undercutting that.

我們一般認為助推器都希望自己的錢能變成風，但這個團隊卻在削弱這一點。

Why do they want to fund to seven win football program?

為什麼他們要資助七勝制的足球項目？

Why do they want to fall farther behind Oklahoma?

他們為什麼要遠遠落後於俄克拉荷馬？

Apparently because they don't love winning football As much as they hate acknowledging black humanity, they'd rather pay for a loser than treat winners with respect.

顯然是因為他們不愛贏球，就像他們討厭承認黑人的人性一樣，他們寧願為一個失敗者買單，也不願意尊重勝利者。

Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, was recently asked when we could expect to see fans at Dodger Stadium, he said.

But yet sports is taking the position that the pandemic is over.

但體育界卻採取了流行病已經結束的立場。

They're doing this even though medical experts are saying we're not there yet.

儘管醫學專家說我們還沒到那個地步，他們還是這樣做了。

We're close, but we're not there.

我們很接近，但還沒到那一步。

Sports has always taken the position of the healer, but during a pandemic, having 50,000 fans in one place as part of the problem.

體育一直以醫者的姿態，但在流行病期間，在一個地方擁有5萬名球迷是問題的一部分。

So here we are so close to the finish line.

Consumption on road trips because he's stressed sounds like what so many of us have been going through right.

因為他壓力大而在路上消費，聽起來就像我們很多人都經歷過的吧。

But a lot of players still have trouble talking about these issues, as Columbus Blue Jackets captain Nick Pelino says he knows many fans believe that pro athletes are paid handsomely to play a sport and therefore should simply feel grateful.

但很多球員仍然難以談論這些問題，哥倫布藍衣隊隊長尼克-佩裡諾表示，他知道很多球迷認為職業運動員從事一項運動獲得了豐厚的報酬，是以應該簡單地感到感激。

That's something he hates.

這是他最討厭的東西。

And that's the problem with how society still views mental health as binary rather than a spectrum we shouldn't associate.

這就是社會仍然把心理健康看成二元的問題，而不是我們不應該聯想到的光譜。

Getting help with having major problems are hitting rock bottom.

We should understand that no matter your class or profession, their struggles that everyone goes through, I hope the pandemic taught us that we all have more in common than we think.

我們應該明白，無論你的階級或職業，他們的奮鬥，每個人都會經歷，我希望這場大疫告訴我們，我們的共同點比我們想象的要多。

順便說一下，這種情況只發生過一次。

It was a drill, and the Mets were imagining themselves, recording the final out in Game seven of the World Series.

這是一次演習，大都會隊正在想象自己，在世界系列賽第七場比賽中記錄下最後的出局。

In the real world the Mets have won only two World Series in 1969 in 1986.

在現實世界中，大都會隊只在1969年1986年贏得過兩次世界大賽。

Some of the credit for their miracle in 69 is usually a portion to a feline, a black cat who boldly crossed in front of the dugout of the front running Cubs, clearly jinxing them.

他們在69年創造奇蹟的部分功勞，通常有一部分要歸功於一隻貓科動物，一隻黑貓大膽地從跑在最前面的小熊隊的球館前穿過，顯然是在給他們添堵。

So you might think that a franchise with that history would be at pains to avoid provoking the baseball gods with the World Series pantomime.

所以你可能會認為，一個擁有這種歷史的特許經營權，會不遺餘力地避免用世界大賽的啞劇來挑釁棒球之神。

But no Mets fans are accustomed to disappointment.

但沒有一個大都會的球迷習慣於失望。

That's true, but this kind of self inflicted wound might be too much to bear.

沒錯，但這種自殘式的傷勢可能會讓人受不了。

If Steve Cohen, their new owner, is really as rich as they say, he might want to invest in a time machine to take the team back to before this happened to perform a hard reset to erase this affront so that the dream of another Mets World Series victory isn't snuffed out even before Opening day.

如果史蒂夫-科恩，他們的新老闆，真的像他們說的那樣富有，他可能會想投資一臺時光機，把球隊帶回這一切發生之前，進行一次艱難的重置，以消除這種侮辱，這樣，另一個大都會隊世界系列賽勝利的夢想就不會在開賽前就被扼殺。
