BENEFIT
dining out For Life S ince 1991, Dining Out For Life has been raising millions of dollars for HIV/AIDS organizations and research around the country. The concept is simple. Head to one of more than 100 participating restaurants in our area on April 14, and the owners will donate 33 percent of the your bill to the organization. Fittingly, the first ever Dining Out For Life fundraiser was held here, in the City of Brotherly Love. Now, 25 years later, more than 50 cities and 3000 restaurants donate a portion of their proceeds from this one special day of dining. In Philadelphia, there are 129 participating restaurants, as well as 56 in the surrounding suburbs (Montgomery, Chester, and Delaware County, Southern New Jersey, and Delaware), and 10 participating food trucks. “[HIV/AIDS] is a fight that a lot of people think is over,” says Ted Allen (Chopped). Allen has been a spokesperson for Dining Out For Life for eight years and thinks it’s important to raise awareness and end the stigma around HIV/AIDS. Allen
says that one of the best things about Dining Out For Life is that the money raised goes directly to the city that it was raised in to help people living with HIV/AIDS living in the area. “It’s just such a cool, very low overhead operation that raises more than $4 million for HIV and AIDS service organizations in a single day,” says Allen. The money raised helps support the missions of 60 HIV/AIDS service organizations throughout the country. New to the list of restaurants participating this year: Han Dynasty, Bud & Marilyn’s, Restaurant Neuf, Double Knot, Martha, Buena Onda, Palladino’s, Brigantessa, Stargazy, COOK, Serpico, and Tria Filter Square.

I was in severe heart failure and needed a transplant. People told me it meant I’d never live a full life. I wasn’t about to settle for that. So I found a place that won’t settle either: Penn Medicine. They’re not just healing heart disease, they’re working to end it. One week after the heart transplant, I started training. One year later, I became a triathlete. Now, I live every day like my donor is watching.

B
uy Local. That’s not a new phrase is it? What used to be a new trend/concept, the farm-to-table mantra is one that has been—for the most part—embraced by more and more restaurants, driven, in part, by consumer demand for fresher, more local ingredients. Few people, it seems, need to be told the virtues of being a “locavore.” In fact, is that even a thing these days? So what’s next for the movement? If you ask Ann Karlen, Executive Director of Fair Food Philly and Jennifer Brodsky, Principal of Kitchen Table Consultants, there’s a lot still left to learn. Karlen and Brodsky are bringing Philly Farm and Food Fest back to the PA Convention Center this Sunday. And their hope is that this event can offer even deeper immersion in the local foods scene for both wholesale buyers and consumers. The event has quickly grown over the years, but began rather basic. Fair Foods started the event back in 2002 and called it “Local Grower, Local Buyer” to connect local farmers and producers with wholesale buyers. “It was on a Monday night, we held it at the Reading Terminal Market, after the market was closed,” explains Karlen. “That’s Fair Foods mission to connect farmers and producers to wholesale markets so this was a very direct matchmaking event.” By 2011, it had grown to having close to 60 producers and about 200 buyers in attendance. With that growth, Karlen began to feel like the event could become something much more. “I felt like the event had built enough momentum and there was enough exciting stuff going on that we wanted to bring it to the public. So we decided to expand the event and make it a festival that would still serve to connect growers to wholesale markets, but we would also open it up to other farmers and producers who were trying to reach individual consumers.” In 2012, they introduced Philly Farm & Food Fest to the city at the Convention Center, and in 2014 hired Kitchen Table Consultants to be their event manager. This year marks the first year that Kitchen Table will be a partner host for the event. “Ann and I have known each other for over 15 years, Ann has been a real mentor for me,” explains Brodsky on what it means for her company to now partner with Fair Foods. “I was the first fair food farmstand in Reading Terminal so this is just building on that.” 8 | Philly Weekly | April 7 - 13, 2016 | phillyweekly.com

Vendors at Farm & Food Fest are all local to the Philadelphia-region except for a few national sponsors. “Think of the biggest farmer’s market you can imagine,” says Karlen. “Although we’ve always had a lot of interesting programs, this year we’ve really dedicated a lot of time to how we can further lift up and support local growers. And on the flipside of that, how do we help attendees plan their year of eating locally.” The concept of eating locally all year long is an important next step in the local foods movement according to Karlen. “It’s really easy to buy local food year round if you live in Philly or the surrounding suburbs.” “The next hurdle is buying locally consistently and buying year round. How do we do that? We have so many viable, amazing opportunities to look at in this area, such as meat and grain. So the challenge is going to be showing people how to keep these as staples year round, the things you can buy through the winter,” Brodsky says. Brodsky adds that she has noticed an additional level of in-depth knowledge that many consumers are seeking in their local buying experience, from wanting to know the growth practices of a farm to the story of the business. “Different apples taste differently. That is the next great opportunity, connecting even more closely with your local farmers and becoming even more knowledgeable about your ingredients.” “Here in Pennsylvania, agriculture is our top industry, isn’t that amazing?” says Brodsky. She says it’s easy to forget sometimes, but our state has a full spectrum of production. Adams County, for example, is one of the biggest East Coast apple producers. “Grains are being grown here, milled here, and baked into bread right here in Philadelphia.” And speaking of grains, to pick up on the region’s burgeoning grain production, this year’s Fest will host the Grain Gathering, where visitors can sample grains and baked goods from a variety of local farmers. “This is maybe something the average consumer is not aware of,” explains Karlen, “just how many local grains are produced in this region. Local grain production is still relatively new in terms of people paying attention to it, but we’re starting to see more interest from bakers and more production from local farms.” In addition, eventgoers can learn about numerous CSA’s (Community Supported Agriculture) and what produce subscriptions are available, all with drop-off locations within the city. And yes, there will be alpacas.

Shopping at the Fest S neaking a preview at some of the purveyors who will be at the Philly Farm & Food Fest, we found a few unique producers with some interesting products:
LUHV Food A family owned and operated food vendor, LUHV food offers vegan fare and gluten free treats. Eating healthy can often be stressful and quite expensive. LUHV aims to make health anything but a benefit of affluence. LUHV provides a variety of healthy and environmentally amazing food that will satisfy any healthy cuisine enthusiast.
Nanna’s Secret Egypt is known for more than its distinctive mythology, monuments and ancient civilizations. Egyptian food is well-renowned and for good reason. Nanna’s Secret brings that cuisine fame to Philly. Nanna’s famous Dukkah, an Egyptian dish generally used as a dip and eaten along with flatbread or cucumbers, epitomizes the exotic and flavorful nature of Egyptian food.
Sweet Salvation Truffles If you’ve made the tough decision to eliminate gluten from your diet, but still desire something sweet, no worries. Sweet Salvation Truffles has what you’re looking for. Going gluten-free does not mean you have to do without desserts. Sweet Salvation proves this as they’re rife with a variety of melt in your mouth gluten-free options.
The Bacon Jams “All bacon everything” would be an appropriate motto for this bacon fixated vendor. Bacon is arguably an iconic food. Its versatility seems to know no bounds. Bacon Jams exploits that adaptability by crafting such things as Bacon Sugar, Bacon Salt, Bacon Infused Maple Syrup and more, proving bacon is equally great in salty and sugary arrangements.
Crisp & Co. Pickles are tangy, sweet, and savory and can be amazingly long-lasting. Pickling is a way to preserve a food and extend its shelf life. This archaic culinary undertaking might seem in danger of losing its significance. Crisp & Co. begs to differ as they perceive it as not only a way to conserve food, but bring out its potential and variety. —ROB WELLS

Cinedelphia Returns
I
f you’re at all into movies you’ve probably at least heard Philly’s annual Cinedelphia Film Festival (CFF), running from April 7-23, is returning for its fourth year. This year is set to be a fun time at the Philadelphia Mausoleum of Contemporary Art (a place where acclaimed film director David Lynch was once a student). The film fest, which kicks off Thursday, is a nirvana for Philly’s most alternative, odd and rare films. Strange, unusual and creative are just a few words that can describe this festival. It’s something so ambitious and bizarre that it demands as much awareness as any other film fest in Philly. If you’re a fan of B-movies, cult films, drive-ins and video rental era cinema, then this is the event for you. Thirty eccentric and offbeat films will be presented this year. As a lover of alternative film, I’m itching to enjoy the unique lineup of movies. CFF plays some of the créme de la créme of work coming out of Philly’s cinema scene, as well acknowledging some classic cult works. I’d definitely recommend taking a look at these:
“OFFBEAT AND
EXUBERANT. A HIGHLY ENJOYABLE RIDE.”
VHS MASSACRE: Cult Film and the Decline of Physical Media
A pre-screening treat for festival goers, the CFF will be presenting the Kenneth Powell and Thomas Edward Seymour documentary VHS MASSACRE: Cult Film and the Decline of Physical Media. The documentary explores the ebb and flow of physical media from the video store era to modern day and its dire effect on Indie and cult films. It’s a history lesson on how media came to expel the VHS tape and welcome the DVD, Internet streaming and more contemporary ways of enjoying mass media. It’s sure to be an intriguing and enlightening watch.

Final Cut: Ladies and Gentlemen
A movie that’s cut out of 450 other films: Sounds interesting, right? A film made entirely in the editing room only, Final Cut: Ladies and Gentlemen is a love story comprised of other love stories from countless films over different eras. Watch Bruce Willis fight to prove his love to his wife in Die Hard. Or Leonardo Di Caprio fall in love with Kate Winslet on the sinking Titanic. This exploration of true love also explores the identities of men and women in film. Scenes from classics like The Godfather and Indiana Jones are also included. More expected and romantic films like Amelie are involved as well. It’s not only a love story, but a trip into the past and present of cinema.
Der bunker
Der Bunker is a strange fairy tale about a student who ends up lodging with a peculiar family. He gets a shack with no windows in a bunker deep in the forest, instead of a tranquil and solitary seaside location. On top of that, he must homeschool the owner’s 8-year-old son, Klaus. Did I mention that Klaus looks like he’s in his early 30s? As you can guess, bizarre events occur and things get a little crazy in this weird comedy. n

Bernin’ Down the House A
s Bernie Sanders visits Temple for a rally today, we met Conrad Benner (founder and editor of the urban art blog Streets Dept.) at the South Philly Bernie mural which he helped create. As we sat on the playground benches overlooking the mural on 22nd and Catherine Streets, onlookers came to snap selfies in front of the giant portrait and Benner discussed the makings of the mural and how it led to near-controversy within city government.
So how did the concept for the mural start? The mural started really with the fact that so many artists in Philly have been doing Bernie related stuff. Starting a few months ago there was the small Bernie mural that went up on 4th and Bainbridge by artist Brooks Bell and then IshKnits, who’s a yarn bomber I’ve been following for years, did a “Feel the Bern” bomb on the Viaduct and then my old friend, Leah Kauffman who did the Obama Girl video in 2008, decided to back Bernie Sanders in 2016 and did a [“Bernie Bae”] music video.
And why South Philly? Max Glass owns Glass Properties, which owns a handful of buildings in this neighborhood. He’s really conscious about creating spaces in this area that help the area out. They were a big supporter of Ultimo Coffee. This building will be a restaurant in a year, there’s contracts and all that. He’s a Bernie supporter and he reached out to Streets Dept. and said “What if we do a temporary Bernie Sanders mural?” and asked if I liked the idea. I said “Hell yeah” and I told him my two favorite artists that I think would work really well together who’ve never worked together: Old Broads and Disto. We got coffee one day, we talked about it for a couple of hours, we decided to have a Kickstarter and we just went from there.
How much money does it take to make a mural? You can see, the building is three stories by about a half block. Each artist took six full days of work, so we wanted to pay them like they worked at a coffee shop, like something. The supplies alone were about $1500, the ladder was $900. We listed all of our expenses, we wanted to be very transpar-

ent on what we were spending money on. We wanted to pay each artist $1500, again we’re talking six full days, not 9-5, they were here sun up to sun down, and then sometimes after the sun went down. They put their heart and soul into this, and forget planning and re-tweeting and doing stuff on social media afterwards. Then we needed to raise a few extra dollars to print and make all the Kickstarter rewards, photo prints, t-shirts, that kind of stuff. We asked for $5,000 and we got that in four days, so now we’re inching closer to $6,000 because as you know, it doesn’t stop until the campaign is over.
So tell me more about the mural, in terms of what the artists visions were for it. Something the artists were keen to do was make the connection between Bernie and Philadelphia, so they did that literally with the mountainous landscape of Vermont leading into the Philadelphia skyline. But keeping it really simple. Usually with murals this big, the more complicated they are, the less impactful they are, so keeping it very simple and then just a big ol’ Bernie. They scanned for a long time to find the perfect photo, they didn’t want a smiley phoney photo of Bernie, this isn’t a smiley time, his campaign isn’t smiley, we have a really corrupt economy, we have a really corrupt campaign finance system, so they wanted a concerned looking Bernie. I think they found that. And you can see, his face is purply, reddish, the idea is the sun is setting on him, it’s his golden hour. We had two spots on our Kickstarter, if you donated $250 we’d paint a portrait of you. We’re not trying to be rich from this mural, we’re just trying to pay the artists, all my time is for free, Max is donating the space, we wanted to pay the artists, we wanted to make a statement and we wanted to show Bernie Sanders the support he has in the city.
What’s your hope for the message it sends to the public? The DNC will be here this summer and whether he’s got the nomination or not, he’s fundamentally changed the trajectory of the Democratic party. People are pissed it’s not just
the Trump supporters who are pissed. It’s Democrats too, because working class people are pissed. The current system is working against us. And you can go one of two ways, you can go the racist, crazy way of Donald Trump, or you can say, we can work in the system, we just need to change it, pull like an FDR, make the system work for the working class again. I like Hillary, I respect her, I almost voted for her in 2008, but Bernie is just saying it right, and not only is he saying it, he’s been doing it for 30 years. There’s no Hillary Clinton mural and now there’s two Bernie Sanders murals. I’m not even sure there’s an Obama mural. We have the most public art of any city in America in large part because of the Mural Arts Program, but they can’t get political like this, they’re partly city funded. But individuals can and artists can. We wanted to make a statement. We raised the money with the people in Philly who wanted it, I think that says a lot.
but there were some dicey moments with Licenses and Inspections? Initially Philly.com called someone at L&I and they talked to the wrong person who said the mural was illegal and needed to come down. They have since talked to the commissioner. It’s not an ad, it’s free speech, it is art. So there was a minute where we were worried it was going to be taken down, but it’s not. The argument was it was a political campaign ad, but it was not paid for by the candidate, it was paid for by artists who fundraised the money. This mural won’t last more than a year anyway.
In general what do you think the role of art is in politics? I’m going to ruin this quote, but I think Nina Simone is a million percent right, It’s artists duties to speak to their time. We’re in a heated political season, we were on the brink of a great depression, we were able to not fall into that, Obama turned us around, but the only people to really benefit from that were at the very top, wages have not grown in a decade, the middle class is struggling more and more. It’s the responsibility of artists to speak for their time. n

Naked Reflections W
hat do the words “female form” bring to mind? 200-level figure drawing class? Rodin sculptures? That creepy second uncle describing his Playboy collection? More than likely Mylar, aluminum foil’s less rigid cousin, the material of birthday balloons and emergency blankets, does not pop immediately into your thought bubble. That is, perhaps until now. Independent performance artist, Zornitsa Stoyanova uses mylar to create hybrid art that’s part visual and part performance. In Explicit Female, her interactive one-person performance that debuts later this month, Stoyanova will use the material to enhance and reinterpret the female image. “I’m not trying to shock anyone. But it is unapologetic, it’s evocative,” Stoyanova explains, her Bulgarian accent firmly in tow. “If I was showing imagery of real genitalia, it wouldn’t have that effect, it wouldn’t have that effect of ‘Oh, I want to see this more,’ it would have the effect of pornography and that’s not at all where I’m going with this piece.” She says the performance will be very casual, but extremely intimate. There will be no fourth wall, the audience is limited to 20 and Stoyanova will be performing completely in the nude. This may not sound like your typical discussion of motherhood, but for Stoyanova, one of the biggest inspirations for the piece was her pregnancy and birth of her now twoyear old son and what motherhood has done to change her as both an artist and a female. “I have a line about how my vagina is sewn up like a family quilt,” she says, with all seriousness. “My work has always been abstract with internal logic, it’s never had anything to do with persona, but this is narrative in the sense that I do talk about what it’s like to have an alien take over your womb from the inside and then come outside of you. You know it’s you, but it’s not you. It’s your genetic material, but it’s not you, and what that feels like.” Stoyanova has lived in Philadelphia for 10 years. She left her home country of Bulgaria when she was 20, to study at Bennington College in Vermont. She came to dance later in life, in her teens and says that while she studied choreography and sound design in college, most of her paid gigs have come in the form of lighting design jobs, a craft she never actually formally studied. Arriving in Philadelphia right after college, she met her now husband shortly thereafter while looking for a roommate and as she puts it, “Now we’re married and I am officially a resident of the country, I have a Green Card but I’m not a citizen. That’s the story of how I managed to stay in the states.” Once in Philly, Stoyanova worked primarily as a choreographer, but since the birth of her son, her media has switched to a focus on photography and film. With limited rehearsal time, squeezing in development sessions for her performance work when a babysitter or her husband was with their son, led her to

begin taking photos and video to help speed the creative process along. Exhibitions of these photos then followed and her fascination with mylar grew. “What I discovered through taking photos and video, mylar is inorganic, but the way that it reflects—especially the way I work with it—it creates either very female or very male imagery and I don’t know why it is, but it’s so evocative and also explicit. It almost is uncomfortably abstractly explicit. Because you know you’re not seeing a vagina, but it’s so reminiscent of it. But, when you look at it for a long time, it almost is like a play of imagination.” Explicit Female is her first solo performance since giving birth, although she has performed with several groups, including improv dance company, Graffito Works and Fidget Space, where she is in residence. She says a previous work with the company Idiosyncrazy, which was the first time she was asked to perform sans clothing, deeply affected her beliefs on nudity and her body. “It was not erotic or anything like that. It was extremely challenging psychologically and was a very tough performance to watch, it was a very tough performance to perform. There were five or six performers of all genders and races, and we did a lot of things in the nude that were quite disturbing. And after that experience, I felt so free and like I really questioned the social construct of what it means to be female and present myself in a certain way and what it means to be a nude female performing, not in a sexy way, but in a revealing and personal way.” Featuring personal narratives, custom designed lighting and live feed special effects, Stoyanova’s Explicit Female aims to explore the “mystery of the shapeshifting form” that she says half of the world’s population reside in: the female form. From pregnancy to birth to motherhood, Stoyanova examines the female body without sentiment or the usual paternalistic “wonder” that reads like a script to an ‘80s Lamaze how-to. “There’s a lot of feminist art, but I haven’t seen anything that directly responds to motherhood. Part of it is being a mother brings you out of society, it can be a very lonely thing. I hope my work just brings a conversation, I don’t need people to like my art. I just want for my art to bring conversation.” n

Nova Wins... Now What? What do we owe college athletes?
“M
arch Madness” is more than the title of an invigorating Future song. It’s become the rallying battle cry for college basketball enthusiasts, power brokers and sportswriters alike. But behind all of the buzzer beaters, office pools, brackets and Cinderella stories lies the story of central characters that often get left in the dark: College athletes. Should they be paid as professionals for their services? The answer to this question is a complicated one and goes far beyond any basketball court or football field. On the heels of Villanova capturing the National Championship this week, there seems like no more appropriate time for such a discussion. As fans and bandwagoners alike clamor for NovaNation jerseys and tees and hoodies, the university reaps the benefit, but what about the players we saw on the court that night? For insights and perspectives, I visited Drexel University’s College Athletes’ Rights & Empowerment Conference, hosted by the National Constitution Center. The night centered around the rights of college athletes in America and included some of the most prominent voices on the topic. As a former college athlete, sociologist and San Francisco 49er, Dr. Harry Edwards knows a great deal about the questionable nature of NCAA politics and their affect on black athletes in America. “Let’s be honest and straight up from the outset. We’re talking about basketball and football in collegiate athletics. We’re talking about the revenueproducing sports, which means that we’re talking about the black athlete. Black athletes already dominate and predominate numerically in NCAA Division I basketball, and thanks to the concussion issue at the both professional and elite collegiate level, within the next 6-8 years at the most, probably soon, football is going to be even blacker than basketball.” Whether or not people choose to admit it, race is an inextricable piece of this puzzle. Pulitzer Prize-winning author Taylor Branch agrees the racial dynamic has deeply affected college sports and the way the public advocates for athletes’ rights. “It varies by sport and skill position. African-Americans are highly concentrated in the skill positions in football (wide receiver, running back), and have been for several decades the majority of Division I basketball players. One of the reasons that people don’t care as much is because it’s AfricanAmericans generating their entertainment for free.” As the organizer of the 1968 Olympic project for human rights that led to Olympians John Carlos and Tommie Smith’s historic Black Power demonstration, Branch is also aware of the political power black athletes possess. “What will bring about change is internal revolt. There is something that you have to understand about this broader context. The broader context framing political consciousness is different in every era. I have a phenomenal appreciation of Jesse Owens and Joe Louis and Jackie Robinson. They struggled for access. Their whole demeanor and disposition was different.” Branch recalls Robinson’s reaction after he announced the Olympic project for human rights after shutting down the football game at San Jose State. “Howard Cossell called up Jackie Robinson at three o’clock in the morning: ‘Jackie, there’s a Negro professor at San Jose State telling black athletes that they shouldn’t go to the Olympic games and if they do go they should demonstrate. What do you think about that?’ And Jackie said, ‘I don’t agree with that. Who is this guy?’” Branch says the next morning, Robinson had a different impression. “Jackie got up and called Howard Cosell and said, ‘Howard you call me at three
16 | Philly Weekly | April 7 - 13, 2016 | phillyweekly.com
in the morning, got me up out of the bed and I pick up the newspaper and I saw what this young man meant. If I were an athlete today, I wouldn’t do it the way we did it.’ The next call I got was from Jackie: ‘Dr. Edwards best of luck. Let me know if there’s anything I can do to help you move this thing ahead.’ Because the framing of how we did it was different from the framing of what Jackie did. The framing of what athletes today are doing is different. Just as Jackie Robinson struggled for access, my generation struggled for dignity and respect. We wanted to be treated as men, as human beings, as citizens both on and off the field.” Legendary fullback Jim Brown has said his only reason for playing football was to generate respect for himself as a man. Today’s athletes are not in a struggle for dignity and respect, although that battle still goes on. Today’s athlete is in a struggle for power. That started with Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson. Magic didn’t want to be in movies like Jim Brown or O.J. Simpson. He wanted to produce the movies and own the theatres where the films are shown. The same with Michael Jordan. He didn’t just want to do an endorsement. He wanted a piece of the action. He wanted to own the shoe his name was on. That has now spread to a collective team concept. Black athletes understand that together they can say “we don’t want to play against a team Donald Sterling owns,” and Sterling is gone. The whole context of this era is a struggle for power. New York Times journalist and co-author of Indentured: The Inside Story of the Rebellion Against the NCAA, Joe Nocera looks at the NCAA from a business standpoint and doesn’t like what he sees. “I’ve been a business writer for 30 years before I got interested in this subject. In economic terms, the NCAA is a cartel that exists to suppress the compensation of the labor. The federal government is so scared that they won’t rule the players are employees.” Nocera makes it clear that college athletes’ rights are an issue that affects society on a greater level than just sports. “I’m doing this not because it’s a sports issue, but because it’s a human rights and a civil rights issue. I’m not very upbeat about change because the courts haven’t been very sympathetic. They buy into, ‘They’re students, so they shouldn’t have to get paid.’” While Nocera may be less upbeat on the NCAA changing its processes than Dr. Edwards, he sees recent moments as glimmers of hope, such as during the protests at University of Missouri. “The Missouri football team showed the way last fall. They said these protests have gone on for six weeks and nothing is being done. The racial incidents on campus are real, something needs be done about them, and if nothing is done, we will go on strike. Guess what happened? The president resigned in 36 hours. That’s power. All it takes is one team not to come out for the Final Four and the system is changed in one night.” As the Championship trophy was presented to ‘Nova, all teams had played their March Madness games. Will anything be different come March of 2017? And what is a viable solution? The answers to that aren’t easy to obtain. In fact, the question raises others: How would the athletes be compensated? Which athletes?
Which sports? Which teams? But before these questions even get debated, the support for them even being asked has to be achieved. In addition, Nocera supports embattled college coaches like Kentucky’s John Calipari, who has received heavy criticism for focusing more on his players’ individual needs than those of his university. “The bargain universities make is that in return for working 60 hours a week and doing this really hard job that gets you injured, sometimes for life, in return you’ll get an education. The universities don’t hold up their end of the bargain. They just don’t.” Nocera says there are too many athletes major-

Which teams? but before these questions even get debated, the support for them even being asked has to be achieved. ing in ‘eligibility,’ that is, taking classes just to stay on the field. “So when you ask me does this diminish the value of an education? Yeah, it diminishes the value of education. But this whole system does. Calipari is honest at least. [Calipari] says, ‘I want the five best players in the country, I’m going to show them off to the pros, and then they can go make a zillion dollars.’” A commonly held misconception is that college athletes are virtually guaranteed a shot at professional fame and success. University of Georgia professor Dr. Billy Hawkins deeply disagrees. “A $30,000 scholarship, some $10,000 if you’re in state, doesn’t add up to the millions that these schools are making. In a lot of cases, the university isn’t necessarily paying for that education. At the University of Georgia where I’m at, donors are paying for scholarships. So whatever that yearly scholarship equates to, it still doesn’t compare to the hours these athletes are putting in a day or week.” Hawkins notes anecdotal evidence that in his 20 years teaching at the university level, he’s only witnessed a few players make it professionally and become financially successful. “The quality of the education is dismal by the time they graduate. We have former college athletes working in fast food and detailing cars because they did not get the proper educational guidance. The quality of the educations they’re receiving is suspect. Here we have this kid that generated millions of dollars for the university, but is now living paycheck-to-paycheck.” It remains to be seen when or how the NCAA will change its processes to improve the rights of the college athletes it governs, but it is becoming abundantly clear that college athletes need as much support now as they ever have. Next time you’re filling out your brackets, ask yourself how much the NCAA’s 14-year, $10 billion television contract is benefiting the players in the actual games. The money is there. But how much of it is actually helping college athletes excel in the game of life? n

SAVAGE LOVE
by Dan Savage | Twitter: @FakeDanSavage
Germane
I
am a 20-something, straight, cis-female expat. How long do I have to wait to ask my German lover, who is übersensitive about the Holocaust, to indulge me in my greatest—and, until now, unrealized—fantasy: Nazi role-play? He is very delicate around me because I am a secular Jew and the descendant of Holocaust survivors. (Even though I’ve instructed him to watch The Believer, starring Ryan Gosling as a Jewish neo-Nazi, to get a better grasp on my relationship with Judaism. To be clear, I am not actually a neo-Nazi—just your garden-variety self-hating Jew.) This persists even though we’ve spoken about my antiZionist politics. Evidently he was indoctrinated from a young age with a hyperapologetic history curriculum. I appreciate that he thinks it was wrong for the SS to slaughter my family, but it’s not like he did it himself. I know it sounds really fucked up, but I promise this isn’t coming from a place of deep-seated self-loathing. Even if it were, it’s not like we’d be hurting anybody. We’re both in good psychological working condition, and neither of us is an actual bigot. I would try to get to know him better, but we are so different (there’s a big age difference) and I don’t really see our relationship being much more than ze sex. —National Socialist Pretend Party “Sex writers get all the really good religion questions,” says Mark Oppenheimer. “Can we trade mailboxes sometime soon? I’m tired of dealing with all the questions about why evangelicals support a thricemarried misogynist reality-TV star who never goes to church.” Oppenheimer writes the Beliefs column for The New York Times and is cohost of Unorthodox, an “irreverent podcast about Jews and other people” (tabletmag. com/unorthodox). I invited Oppenheimer to weigh in because I am, sadly, not Jewish myself. (Jewishness is conferred through matrilineal descent, your mom— or, if you’re Reform, either parent—has to be Jewish for you to be Jewish, so all those blowjobs I gave to my first Jewish boyfriend were for nothing. No birthright trip for me.) “First off, I think that Die Fraulein should make her kinky proposal ASAP,” says Oppenheimer. “Given the ‘hyperapologetic’ curriculum that her Teutonic stud has absorbed, he is probably going to freak out no matter when she asks him to incinerate—er, tie her up and fuck her. On the other hand, if he’s open and kinkpositive, he’ll probably be down for whatever. But it’s all or nothing in a case like this. She can’t win him over by persuading him that she’s not one of those uptight, unforgiving Jewesses who is still hung up on the destruction of European Jewry.” 18 | Philly Weekly | April 7 - 13, 2016 | phillyweekly.com
While your kink didn’t really faze Oppenheimer (it’s not exactly unheard of), NSPP, your discomfort with your own Judaism did. “In her letter, she assures us that she is ‘secular,’ ‘anti-Zionist,’ and ‘garden-variety self-hating’—then jokingly compares herself to the Jewish white supremacist (played by Ryan Gosling in that movie) who in real life killed himself after The New York Times outed him as a Jew,” says Oppenheimer. “Now, all of us (especially homos and Yids) know something about self-loathing, and I think Jews are entitled to any and all views on Israel, and—again—I am not troubled by her kink. That said, I do think she needs to get to a happier place about her own heritage. Just as it’s not good for black people to be uncomfortable with being black, or for queer people to wish they weren’t queer, it’s not healthy, or attractive, for Jews or Jewesses (we are taking back the term) to have such obvious discomfort with their Jewish heritage.” And finally, NSPP, I shared your letter with a German friend of mine, just to see how it might play with someone who benefited from a hyperapologetic history curriculum. Would he do something like this? “Not in six million years.” I am fresh out of a gay relationship, which started monogamous, opened up, dabbled with polyamory, but ran out of steam. I’m heartbroken and I need you to weigh in on a disagreement we had about polyamory, which is one of the things that led to our expiration. I believe polyamory to be a small group of people all in love with each other, all sleeping together. He believes polyamory to be different pairings, where a relationship between two people would be lived and enjoyed separately from that couple’s pairings with other people. He thinks my definition would be impossible to find and sustain. I think his definition sounds like child custody in a divorce dispute. Who’s right? —Reexamining Relationship Remnants “They’re both right,” says Allena Gabosch, a poly activist, educator, and podcaster (The Relationship Anarchy Show). “What the letter writer describes—a small group of people who love each other and all sleep together—is sometimes called ‘polyfidelity.’ It’s less common, and yet I’ve seen it work. His ex’s definition is more common: a primary couple with secondary and sometimes even tertiary partners. There is no ‘one true way’ to do poly, no matter what anyone says.” n

However, despite what you may think, he never thought he would follow in his family’s footprint and become an Agent. When he was in college, Ryan worked as an intern with The McCann Team over the summers and it instantly became clear: he loved it. If you were to ask Ryan what his favorite part of working in the business is, he’d tell you that he loves how rewarding it is to help someone through the home-buying process and help educate them so they leave the experience feeling confident about the entire process and their investment. Ryan has built a wonderful reputation for caring, enthusiastic and successful transactions and he’s not going anywhere. “I worked with Ryan McCann on Mike McCann’s team and I really cannot say enough amazing things about Ryan and my first home-buying experience. Everyone always told me that buying a house is a scary process and takes time and that I would have to settle on certain things and negotiate on others. For the first few weeks, I was waiting for the other shoe to fall because it just seemed too easy. Spoiler alert: it never fell! Ryan was on top of EVERYTHING, listened to what I was looking for, and helped me complete a 30 day closing with no loose ends. He is patient, knowledgeable about Philadelphia, and got me into my dream home at the price I wanted to pay. I’ve told everyone how amazing Ryan and the McCann team were and I would very highly recommend trusting them with your next home.” -Amy (Point Breeze Home Buyer)
