The article references a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/whats-next-great-awakening-or-great-reset\/\" title=\"What...s Next? Great Awakening or Great Reset?\">recent congressional hearing<\/a> where the Smithsonian was accused of promoting divisive historical narratives and criticizes a politician, Jasmine Crockett, for her racially charged comments about the World cup, suggesting she misinterprets sporting events through a racial lens. it emphasizes that sports exemplify meritocracy, where talent and skill matter more than race or ideology, and criticizes certain political attempts to politicize or racialize sporting events.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>For many fans, sports are cherished and almost hallowed grounds for one very simple reason: Sports may very well be the last true meritocracy standing in a culture that seems increasingly obsessed with participation trophies.<\/p>\n<p>Think about it: If the goal is to win a team championship, merit is what ultimately matters.<\/p>\n<p>If your offensive lineman votes differently than you? Who cares? Can he block the quarterback\u2019s blindside? If your point guard has radically different views on marriage or the sanctity of life? Neat. Can he throw a crisp bounce pass? If your pitcher is from a completely different country than you? Cool, how fast is his two-seamer?<\/p>\n<p>Sports have a funny way of moving beyond many of the things identity politics are obsessed with, like race and ideology \u2014 unless, apparently, you\u2019re far-left Texas Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett.<\/p>\n<p>(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/viral-clip-proves-jasmine-crockett-still-cant-blame-senate-primary-loss-talarico-racist-race\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shocking<\/a>, I know.)<\/p>\n<p>To set the stage, on Tuesday, the House Oversight Committee\u2019s Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency held a hearing entitled, \u201cRewriting American History: Examining the Smithsonian\u2019s Efforts to Reshape the Past.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring the hearing, members examined efforts of the National Museum of American History (NMAH) and the broader Smithsonian Institution to promote divisive, inappropriate, and factually inaccurate programming on U.S. history,\u201d the committee <a href=\"https:\/\/oversight.house.gov\/release\/hearing-wrap-up-smithsonian-national-museum-of-american-historys-radical-agenda-to-reshape-the-past\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It added: \u201cMembers criticized the use of the taxpayer-funded NMAH as a tool to promote a politicized agenda concerning issues of race, class, gender and sexuality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One of the main people who took the stand was Smithsonian Director Anthea Hartig, who was effectively there to defend her institution from these serious allegations, although it\u2019s not exactly a secret that the Smithsonian has been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/smithsonian-museum-kicks-students-hats-attorney\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">embracing leftist ideologies<\/a>. The panel included Yale University\u2019s Professor David Blight \u2014 also <a href=\"https:\/\/blackstudies.yale.edu\/news\/david-blight-op-ed-republican-party\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a noted leftist<\/a> \u2014 who was a minority witness at the hearing.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, at least part of this panel was built to be the perfect sympathizer for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/border-jumpers-are-pushing-american-kids-out-of-school-all-across-the-country\/\" title=\"Border-crossers are displacing American students nationwide\">racial grievance ideology<\/a> that is Crockett\u2019s bread and butter.<\/p>\n<p>Yet even Blight couldn\u2019t quite grasp the full inanity of Crockett\u2019s bizarre obsession with race.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to go back real quick though, Dr. Blight, because you talked about the World Cup,\u201d Crockett said toward the end of her time. \u201cThe World Cup that captures the imaginations of the entire world, when they saw all of these people of color that [were] playing for all these teams, and ultimately, if you recall the last two teams, it was Argentina and Spain, and it seemed like the vast majority of the world was rooting for Argentina or actually against Argentina, right?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd why was that? Just give me an explanation, if you could guess.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2R6HwSjwrOo?si=MHkO2nJybJ2ceicY\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The point of her question (which Crockett would all but confirm in a moment) was clearly about race. In Crockett\u2019s twisted worldview, the only reason a sports fan may have for cheering or jeering a team is \u2026 race.<\/p>\n<p>Blight, to his minimal credit, seemed genuinely bemused and slightly confused by the question.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSpain had the best team,\u201d Blight said while shrugging his shoulders, unsure of what Crockett was getting at. \u201cMaybe that\u2019s why they were rooting for them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You could then hear Crockett cackle (that\u2019s really the best word to describe it), before noting, \u201cThere\u2019s also a racist history that exists as it relates to Argentina.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, Crockett was cut off at this point \u2026 and I have to say \u2026 I\u2019m almost impressed with Crockett\u2019s ability to turn <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/viral-clip-proves-jasmine-crockett-still-cant-blame-senate-primary-loss-talarico-racist-race\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">anything<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/jasmine-crockett-claims-america-owes-black-women-everything-4th-july-message\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">everything<\/a> into a racial grievance. It would almost be worth calling it \u201ca talent,\u201d if it had any function beyond dividing Americans.<\/p>\n<p>(It\u2019s practically the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/jasmine-crockett-attempts-stoke-racism-scandal-primary-opponent-past-words-come-back-haunt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">only strategy<\/a> she has, even against fellow Democrats.)<\/p>\n<p>Somehow more impressive than Crockett\u2019s ability to turn any issue into a race issue is just how often she <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/video-jasmine-crocketts-brain-breaks-claims-dems-civil-charlie-kirks-murder-go-video-tape\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gets basic facts wrong<\/a>. She is practically the epitome of the adage, \u201cWhy let facts get in the way of a good narrative?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And this latest debacle about the World Cup featuring \u201call of these people of color\u201d is about as brain-dead of a take as you\u2019ve likely come to expect from Crockett.<\/p>\n<p>That World Cup final between Spain and Argentina (which Spain won 1-0) featured 22 starting players, 11 for each side of the pitch. There was exactly one \u201cperson of color\u201d among those 22 players (Spain\u2019s Lamine Yamal).<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps that\u2019s what made Crockett\u2019s exchange so revealing. She assumed the world was watching the World Cup through the same racial lens she views everything else. Instead, even a left-leaning historian seemed baffled by where she was trying to go.<\/p>\n<p>In an era when politicians insist race is the most important thing about every issue, sports remain one of the last places where performance still matters more than identity. And Crockett\u2019s inability to recognize that says far more about her than it does about supposedly \u201cracist\u201d soccer fans.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f7f7f7; color: #171717; display: flex;font-size: 16px;font-weight: 600;line-height: 1.5;margin: 24px 0;padding: 18px 20px 18px 30px;text-align: left;\">\n<div style=\"align-self: stretch;border-left: 3px solid #171717;flex-shrink: 0;padding-left: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<p><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/\">Choose The Western Journal as your preferred source on Google and never miss reporting that defends truth, protects freedom, and advances Western civilization<\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"border: 1px solid #f5f5f5; padding: 16px;\">Advertise with The Western Journal and reach millions of highly engaged readers, while supporting our work. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/advertise-us\/?wj_source=article\">Advertise Today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\"> \t\t\t \t<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey == typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts = { \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs = [ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++ ) if( !
