Thread: Rush Limbaugh - Out of the Rams deal

[QUOTE=CVAL][QUOTE=DaveC][QUOTE=CVAL]  You do not have to agree with the assessment of McNabbs play or why he thought he was being unjustly praised but racially motivated is a stretch. [/QUOTE] How is it a stretch? If he was white then Rush would not have made the statements questioning his "earning" the amount of media coverage he was getting. [/QUOTE] Because the logic is if he was white he would not get the media coverage...

AFB, Thanks for your post. It nice to hear that fellow coaches have nice things to say when I am not around! I know that you and I don't agree on a lot of political issues. I do my best to have a reasoned debate on issues  and respect your opinion and don't doubt your sincerity or honestly. For everyone else, I have never said that Limbaugh should be excluded from owning or being part of an ownership team....

[QUOTE=EricMcGrath] [QUOTE]Lets examine what Rush leaves out.

I was just going to type exactly what AFB just posted :) Well said AFB! I would like to hear the term "Bi-Partisan" mentioned more when it comes to wrangling in the the House and Senate, but that would make WAY too much sense.....

[QUOTE=DaveC]First of all, to the Rush fans who got your panties in a twist, calm down. I'm not getting into a political discussion here. I am an independent and despise nothing more than partisan BS. [/QUOTE] I'm thinking people here are defending ideology here DaveC... not Rush. 

[QUOTE=DaveC]Rush's comments were racially motivated . Just like some of the ignorant racially motivated comments Sharpton and Jackson would make. [/QUOTE] And herein lies part of the difficulty. Vaguaries are open to all sorts of (highly emotional) interpretation. I say things all the time that are racially motivated, but that doesn't make me a racist. Sometimes it makes me sound stupid...or, as you said above, ignorant...but...

This debate is so charged with emotion on all sides that it is losing any chance of being fruitful. I have never met Rush Limbaugh.  I rarely listen to him or other pundits - I do not have the time.  My sister worked for a number of years with Rush Limbaugh when he was in Kansas City.  She was an account executive at the Radio station where he was a sports commentator and announcer.  She shares my views on...

RealMad1, here's the quote: Rush: "I don't think he's been that good from the get-go. I think what we've had here is a little social concern in the NFL. I think the media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well. They're interested in black coaches and black quarterbacks doing well (Why wouldn't they? the NFL is first and foremost a business, and they cater to each and every demographic....
