This NFL stuff has gotten to become an obsession with Rush.

It's bordering on insanity, IMO. Every day: NFL / domestic abuse / race (blacks v whites). EVERY day.

Rush must be losing listeners in droves - he had better watch it. I love baseball and hockey (and of course UCONN basketball), but I would be just as outraged if Rush spent the same amount of time talking about those sports and players, as he does on this NFL crap.

Domestic violence - a violent criminal act. By logical association, if it’s a violent criminal act, it’s a Democrat constituent.

These are very conservative questions.

I know... I get it. I hear it day in and day out on Rush's show. The NFL / Rice / Peterson / race relations / domestic abuse / feminism discussion never, ever ends with Rush.

There are much bigger things going on in the world... Rush *really* needs to move onto other subjects...

But at a time when we are dealing with a growing ISIS threat, a major upcoming midterm elections, open borders, etc., this does get tiring.

Yup. I wish I had a dollar for every time Rush says "NFL". I'd be rich by now...

The FBI has actual data. The Dept of Justice is a survey of persons some of whom were crime victims during the six months prior to the biannual survey. The results are used to extrapolate statistics for the nation. The number of persons is included above.

Did you listen to Mark Levin last night?

He read an article that said the incidences of crime committed in the NFL is much lower than the civilian population. This definitely a media scheme to make them look bad. I don’t mind if Rush takes up their side.

Ok, say he talks About ISIS, which he does a little. The opinion of the people doesn’t matter. Obama and McLame are going to do what they want. At least the NFL will respond to public opinion, and in a time of defeat on every front, you need to focus your wins where you can win.

I am sick of hearing about ISIS. You hear about it every news break, and it mostly comes from sound bites from Obummer, and all I can do is cringe. Rush commenting on it more than he is, will just make me angry, and I won’t want to listen because I want to not be angry.

Can you get the data from 1990 through 1994? I would like to see how the Rodney King riots affect those numbers.

So is law and order. Hitting 4 year old so hard that he has marks (including supposedly on his privates) is a bit psychotic.

Sodomites being allowed in the military and male rape goes up?

Didn’t see that coming!

I guess I am more concerned about the issues that can affect us Americans a lot more in a direct way. But that is me.
