Then a caller asks him about the everyday fights in hockey and major riots in soccer. How did hip-hop influence them?
Well ol' Rushbaugh stumbled over his words and tried to evade and basically made an ass of himself AGAIN.
I've said it once and I'll say it again. He's a friggin propoganda machine for the new nazi elite running this country.

I don't know much about Rush and have never listened to him. I don't see his statement being at all bigotted.
He may be wrong in his opinion about hip-hop contributing to the attitude of players that leads to things like the fight. That's in no way being bigotted. He may be right that it has something to do with it, he may be wrong.
To compare hockey doesn't make sense. Maybe hip-hop doesn't contribute to fights in hockey. Maybe something else contributes to fights in hockey, like hockey culture, which many people including hockey fans have a problem with. Many oldschool hockey fans will tell you the game has gone downhill because of focusing on fighting, but the new generation of hockey fans enjoy it and see it as integral.
Two different sports. Two potentially different reasons for fighting in them. No bigotry anywhere in that equation.
