Rush is a Fool
« on: October 02, 2003, 01:54:56 PM »
Not a racist.

He did 3 foolish things:

1.  Brought politics into a sports show.
2.  Assumed sports fans and sports media are intelligent enough to discern between Rush making a racist statement and Rush accusing the media of being racists.
3.  He "pissed off the moderator" as I often say about people who get banned here.  The moderator being his employer, whom he implicitly accused of racism.

I don't know if he's a racist or not - his statement is indeterminate - but he's definitely a fool.

Either way, I don't want to hear it on my sunday football show.

Agreed.  I don't watch those shows anyways.  The games start at 10am here, so I just watch games until 4pm, then get dinner, then watch the Sunday Night game.  The only NFL shows I see are Inside the NFL (HBO) and Chris Berman's halftime show on Sunday Night.

I listened to an interview with Warren Moon. He had a question...

What were Sterling Sharpe and Tom Jackson doing? No rebuttal... nothing?

They were there.

I think TJ and Sterling must have been too shocked to speak.  I heard a blurb from Rush where he said he resigned because of the effect his comments had on the crew.  Maybe TJ and Sterling gave him an earfull once they were off the air?

Yep, they are just a couple of washed-up dumb jocks who hit the TV jackpot.  I can't imagine them doing anything to jeopardize the paycheck.

Why should they worry about that? The Bolts are pretty harmless this year :)

Being prominent examples of the same NFL affirmative action policies that Rush belittled, I doubt very much that they would agree with him.  You never know though.
