Bmr31 Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 Limbaugh resigns because American people have become a bunch of sensitive, whiny b****es. Im sorry but when the day comes that you cant even offer an opinion without it being turned into racism, theres a problem. I dont believe his comments were racially motivated at ALL. He was referring to the STYLE of todays black QB, which cannot be argued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 I was surprised to hear he resigned. I think the flaw is that he knocks black qb's. McNabb is over-rated. I also think that since there have been so few really good black qb's the media does look for a good black qb and try to hype them. Â The same thing happens in the NBA...remember Jason Williams (The one that was with the Kings and then went to Memphis). He was so hyped for his balla skills and because he was a white player who could do it. He was way over-rated. Â I will say this...I'd take McNabb anyday of the week on the Bears. I also think he's a good guy and a solid qb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KipWellsFan Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 It has a lot to do with Limbaugh's past history with racism. He should know not to bring race into it, and he screwed up now he's gone.

How is it gonna be fixed...I have no idea, but it isn't gonna start by having guys that are willing to speak their mind have to quit.  People can speak their minds all they damn well want..its when they are doing stuff out of pure spite/hate that its wrong. I don't think Rush was wishing the guy ill will or was trying to say...black qb's just can't win or they are too stupid to be good.  I think he was trying to say what a lot of people think...and I always said Williams was hyped because he was white and I think the Mcnabb is hyped. Not gonna say its cause he's black, but I personally think its because he is this running qb with a great arm (Not an accurate one) and right now people drool over that style, yet I haven't seen one of those guys win the superbowl lately (Big Time Scrambler...all I can think of is Elway and I think he knew how to throw).

Agreed 100 percent, on everything. I dont really feel sorry for Rush, as im sure in a way he deserves it........its the whole double standard that really irks me.

Once again it goes back to the overraction of main stream society who thinks they have to make up for centuries of distrimination by showing how far they would go for equality. So now anytime someone asks a tough question on a minority (whether it be race, religion, creed, orientation, etc) someone freaks out, and so they are considered disriminatory, everyone else has to jump in on the chorus. The problem is that is prevents a frank discussion on anything because the majority are afraid to ask probing questions for fear of being labeled as discriminatory. And it has the opposite affect on society because then stereotypes and misconceptions are never corrected, because the can't be questioned. It is a stupid vicious circle.

DBAHO Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 Gotta say he's right bout McNabb though. Eva since that game against TB last year he's going backwards. He's got no accuracy whatsoeva. I'd even say Quincy Carter's betta than him now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowerCaseRepublican Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 He can say that McNabb is overrated. He crossed the line when he attributed his success to the media being covetous of a successful black QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capn12 Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 I'm sorry..."resigned"...although if he didn't, I'm sure he woulda been fired. It was all a matter of giving him the option to decide hiself before it was decided for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwsox Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 as I watched the entire commentary as replayed on ESPN, it was stated by Rush that the only reason McNabb is a starter is because the media wants a black quaterback to succeed. Â That was the reason for the controversy. Â Setting aside that McNabb has been to what, 1, 2 NFC title games, one as recently as last January, to attribute McNabb being a starter to a media thing took it over the line. If it had been stated that McNabb should be benched because of poor play this season, no controversy. Â The person who made this a racial thing was Rush by his comments, by his wording. Rush's radio show will get a big power boost in the ratings from aggrieved white male victims, his once strong but recently dwindling audience. I think this works out very well for Rush, as he intended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why else would you hire a guy like Limbaugh if not for his controversal statements to bring in viewers and bulk up ratings. Basically, they fired him for what they hired him for.

LowerCaseRepublican Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 He doesn't have to. He's black. Dusty isn't notoriously known for being a racist either. Â And Dusty's comments of blacks can handle heat better due to their physical attributes [ie melatonin in skin etc.] are vastly different than Rush's comments that McNabb is overrated because the media wants a black QB to do well. Last time I checked, the media wasn't on the field blocking for him on the field to get long runs and completed passes. Â Rush could have simply said "McNabb is overrated" and used his play this year to show that. But no, Rush went with the racial implications for no damn good reason. Â And today it's been found that he might be a painkiller addict. Looks like things are falling apart for old Rush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxfest Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 It is a double standard on the CBS pregame show D.Sanders said Denver needs to just run there BIG BLACK BACK meaning Portis, Marino said thank god you said that and not me. It is ok for Sanders to say it but if Marino / Esiason there would of been a firestorm and Mcnabb is grossly overrated by the media. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
