The Race Card and the NFL

Rush Limbaugh is a white man. He is also a talk show host. His Rush Limbaugh show on the EIB network is heard by millions of enthusiastic listeners - fans and non-fans alike. Why is Rush so successful? Because he deftly combines truth and honesty in his commentary - his own personal take on it - and entertainment. On radio or on some other broadcast medium you don't last this long - as long as Rush has lasted - if you don't have something to sell to the public that they the public are willing to buy.

When Rush sat in the booth at ESPN and made those comments on Donovan McNabb - he made those comments from a personal point of view. The ESPN management, in an effort to remain politically correct and to kowtow to the Black Lobby and/or Caucus (whatever they are called these days) quickly dispatched Rush out of there. ESPN did not allow the market to dictate Rush's future in that broadcast venue. If Rush was not going to be successful as an ESPN sports commentator because people who would normally listen to ESPN are turned off by his commentary - then have the decency to allow the market to oust him instead of bowing down at the altar of the race card players and black victimhood marketers - the likes of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.

Now we have some news that Rush Limbaugh might be interested in buying some part of the St Louis Rams football team franchise. I think this is a great idea. We want those football players to have employment - to be able to play. I like to watch football games on television.

But now the Black Players association are making statements they would not play for Rush's team no matter the salary offering. What? Then what are these black football players going to do? Sit out the season and/or look to play for other teams? For what? I question their race-card based reasoning and sentiments. This is being small-minded and childish. If this is the mental caliber of some black football players then no wonder they are still stuck in the same social place - in the victim's seat!
