NFL Team Owner:Just hiring conservative is racist!

Press Release ^ | October 6, 2003 | The National Center for Public Policy Research

[marlon]

I usually root for the Eagles twice a year, when they play the Giants.(I'm a long suffering and yes jealous Jet fan) but now I'll have to force myself and vote for the Giants.

BTW, clearly Rush was wrong on this one. McNabb has a bawdy QB Rating of around 50! Yet he's still referred to as one of the top QB's in the game. Riiighht!!!!

[freedomcrusader]

I should have stopped watching the NFL after the taxpayer-funded stadium shenanigans that went on here in Pittsburgh and I did stop watching the NFL after the Detroit Lions fine.

I haven't watched a single game all season and I'm better for it. Besides, the Steelers suck donkey c**k this year.

[Recovering_Democrat]

sCREW the Eagles. I hope the lot of 'em fail.

[Roughneck]

Should Conservatives Part Company with the NFL?

This one just did.

[theFIRMbss]

> It's articles like this that makes one realize what narrow-minded twerps most liberals are.

But there are two sides
to this Rush story. Over
in another thread

about the attacks
on Rush, I made this comment
that I still think's good:

>However, the attack on Rush is part and parcel of the Left's attack on American tradition

When ESPN's
executives gave Limbaugh
the pre-game show job

was that an "attack"
on the US tradition
to leave sports as sports

and distance ourselves
from the NAZI tradition
of taking plain sports

and twisting it to
political spectacle?
If I were someone

who gets mad at things [coughs]
ESPN would tweak me
more than Rush-bashers.

Racing, mostly NASCAR is now the #2 sport.
Soon to be #1?

Strip away all Limbaugh's media (I'm surprised he didn't say "liberal media") mumbo-jumbo and what you have is someone who believes McNabb is an inadequate quarterback because he is black. And, according to Limbaugh's own words, any credit McNabb has gotten has nothing to do with on-field accomplishments and everything to do with the color of his skin.

This is, of course, what everyone keeps attributing to him but not what he said at all. He did not say any credit McNabb got is because he was black. Only that he received more credit than others with the same ability because he is black. And he never said that ones skin color has anything to do with ones ability to play quarterback.

[freedomcrusader]

Yep, after Rooney's involvement in the whole NFL diversity sham, it's been all NASCAR for this conservative.

[wardaddy]

and they still play in the cold like hombres don't they?

and the fans suck it up too.


I grew up on the Packers and Bears ...back when I actually liked football players.

[bobjam]

The NFL is not really a sports league- it's a money league. It uses football to sell merchandise and TV contracts. The games are produced in a style that is a watered down version of professional "wrestling". Players are paid to perform in tax-payer built stadiums before what amounts to a live studio audience. These players have little if anything to do with the city in which they play. At least college players attend classes at their universities and typically come from the state in which the university is located (by the way, the $50 million dollar renovation and expansion of the Swamp at UF was completely funded by private donation- when the NFL wants something new, it demands that the local tax-payers foot the bill).

Jeff Lurie, the Philadelphia owner, made his money as a Hollywood producer. That explains his worldview.

[cgk]

Uhm... Lurie.

[longtermmemmory]

Par for the course. No different in the USSR where you had to barf back the party line to get ahead. Today the left is trying to turn PC into the doublething plus good way to percieve the world.

Convervative views will be reduced to crimethink.

If you can't express an idea, it does not exist. IF they silence conservatives and eliminate them from opportunity they win.

This idiot should be forced to resign and sell his team. He has no place in the USA.

[auggy]

Rush has less racism in his heart than any of the whiney liberals.

..."The reason that mudslinging works on the radio is simple: On the radio, Limbaugh is speaking to the dittoheads, the disciples who swallow everything. On TV, Limbaugh has to address the population as a whole." - Mark Whicker, Reality Television: Rush Limbaugh Revealed, Orange County Register, October 4...

And Mark Whacker writes a column because he needs three days to assemble 300 stinkin' words. Mark Whacker writes a column because he cannot subject his opinions to instant feedback and ridicule. Mark Whacker writes a column so he can hide behind his answering machine when the "hate" calls come in.

The Eagles will face reality this Sunday in Texas Stadium.

[Let's Roll]

Nah, come to Dallas and follow the Tuna. ;-)

[NCC-1701]

"...sCREW the Eagles. I hope the lot of 'em fail..."

The Cowboys will start the ball rolling on them this Sunday in BIG D.

[NCC-1701]

You got that right!!!!!

[RobbyS]

Well, I don't need any encouragement to cheer for the Cowboys.We have a black quaterback and from what I have seen of McNabb, ours is better.
