Triathlon and the “Precariat”

Zygmunt Bauman use the word “precariat” to describe the people who suffer the most with changes which will make them more susceptible to losing privileges.  Precariat is the substitute of “proletariat” in the globalized world without the support of a class.  Precariat will hold changes or even human rights to avoid changes.  We have plenty precariat to promote an unfair competition.  Our societies and type of schooling is producing more precariat:

What issues do, in your opinion, differentiate precariat most distinctly from proletariat? To what extent can one connect the two notions? And finally: is precariat a social class?

Well, I have serious doubts about that. I would prefer to call precariat a social category. The mere similarity of situation is not enough to transform an aggregate of individuals bearing similar characteristics into a “class” – that is, into an integrated group willing to pursue common interests as well as proceeding to integrate and coordinate actions stemming from that will. If workplaces of the times of “solid modernity” were, irrespective of the kind of products manufactured, also the factories of social solidarity, liquid-modern workplaces are, irrespective of their business objectives, the producers of mutual suspicion and competitiveness.

Sports are suffering because money is the incentive and the precariat is a majority in them.  Soccer and Football are well globalized and the precariat promotes racism and limiting foreigners to keep the status quo; foreigners are less expensive as in the case of Mexico.  In Soccer, an Argentinian or Chilean is less expensive than a National with the same skills. In triathlon, the precariat is the strongest supporter to stop free competition to happen allowing criteria other than the one getting first wins the race in a triathlon.  The precariat is paid by the Mexican Federation.  The Mexican Federation promotes the culture of “precariat” in athletes to continue the business.

The force of precariat is being present for years in Mexico for Soccer to the point that they do not have a saying when they are sold.  Rafael Marquez (ex-Barza) wants to create a union with the fear of creating another precariat, the union-precariat after certain years that could become a bureaucratic entity.  Are we going to be capable to improve the precariat level to be able to better-fair competition around the world?  The understanding that our Western industry created the Global Warming, and as a consequence the ecological disaster we see in the world, including the migration of people that lost everything they fought for, is necessary to teach and learn.  The above is among the many things to teach to be a better human being and have a chance to survive as a human race.  

We have seen the surge of the precariat in Mexico after the Mexican Revolution; the third generation of Migrants in USA became precariat.  Trump won because of this precariat described by Bauman.
