The Truth about the NFL and Rush's Comments - GoFuckYourself.com

Buff · 10-02-2003, 10:43 AM

Rush said McNabb is overrated. He then went on to explain why he feels he is overrated... and since the media as a whole hasn't been able to do a feature on a black quarterback since forever without bringing up the fact that said quarterback is a black quarterback*, I'm having a hard time grasping how one makes the argument that the media doesn't have an interest in seeing black quarterbacks succeed.

Further, the NFL itself has a racial hiring policy in place. If I owned a team, and for five years I had been sitting around wanting to hire, oh, say, Steve Mariucci to coach my team, and then I suddenly had a chance to... I would be fined for not going through the pointless motions of interviewing some black guys anyway, even though I already know who I'm hiring. Not only would I be fined for not going through the pointless motions but I'd be fined if I weren't ABLE to go through the pointless motions, such as if I called 6 black candidates who wisely decided not to interview because they knew I wanted Mariucci and they didn't want to be racial patsies. It's not just red tape it's a catch-22. This is prima facie evidence that the league itself has a vested interest in "black success," as it were, and supports Limbaugh's hypothesis regarding McNabb's importance to the league marketing scheme.

In short, since the logic negates everything ELSE involved in Limbaugh's comments, he got skewered for saying the quarterback of the Philadelphia Eagles isn't as good as everyone wants to think he is. Period.

Nobody likes to talk about race because it's an uncomfortable topic. That's Rush's sin, not lying. It's clear that the media wants Black Quarterbacks to succeed and in fact a lot of fans do too just because it makes no SENSE for there to be such a majority of white QBs when most football players are black and Warren Moon and his ilk proved a generation ago that there was nothing inherently contradictory about being an excellent quarterback and having dark skin.

* - The disgusting irony of it all is that in his comments on the fiasco, McNabb himself said something to the effect of, "I thought we were past looking at a man's color." Donovan should probably go read the articles talking about what a great quarterback he is, and see just how many of them fail to mention his race. He won't find many.

Buff, Rush has much bigger problems to deal with than his comments about McNabb.

Mr. Morality is a pill popping junkie who scored large amounts of prescription meds illegally.

He may be an idiot who seems to think that the black race has had fair reparations so far, but he does have good taste in pain meds! If I had his money I'd eat em like vitamins myself!

Is your issue that he might have broken the law or that he might be addicted to painkillers or both?

Honestly, I don't agree with prescription laws. There is no reason why you shouldn't be able to walk into a drug store and buy any drug you wanted to, once you reach an age where you are legally considered an adult.

If there's any issue here, it's that he might be addicted to painkillers -- that's a sign of weakness. But violating prescription drug law is like the same as speeding as far as moral implications are concerned -- it's not a big deal morally, is it?

According him and talk radio retards like Sean Hannity it's a big deal. These are the guys who treat anyone who smokes weed like an acid head.

To Rush Limbaugh, of course! I doubt there's a single black person who likes him and if there is, they're either a rich black person or a total idiot.

Rush has many black supporters and they are a long way from being idiots.

It's the fools like you that keep fanning the race flames that are the problem.
