Keenan McCardell On Rush The Racist

6:50 pm EST October 7th, 2009 | Sports | 5 Comments

Former WR Keenan McCardell on how Rush Limbaugh owning a team could make the Rams worse:

Rush Limbaugh would definitely hurt the St. Louis Rams if he bought the team. I can only judge what he says on the radio – but the way he talks makes me think he’s a racist.

The NFL is a dominant black league and it’s tough to say that a guy who speaks his mind as much as he does with a locker room that’s 60% minority would get players’ respect. If I were a free agent it would be really hard for me to want to play for him.

    Is this Rush’s way of trying to own some blacks?

    I hadn’t heard that Mr. Limbaugh was in the market for a sports team, but I’m all for it. Give him some millionaire stuff to do. Keep him busy.

    Shocker.

    Who could have predicted?

    Good column from Bryan Burwell today, if you hadn’t seen:

    Sampling:

    Though I think it is his right to take a shot at becoming part of a new Rams ownership group, Limbaugh’s American Dream is a potential nightmare waiting to happen for the Rams, the city and the National Football League.

    “Look, let me put it to you this way: The NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it.”

    Those are Limbaugh’s words. So are these:

    “I mean, let’s face it, we didn’t have slavery in this country for over 100 years because it was a bad thing. Quite the opposite: Slavery built the South. I’m not saying we should bring it back. I’m just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark.”

    I know how those words play out in Idiot America. They are embraced as gospel. But inside the locker rooms of the NFL, where the overwhelming majority of the players are descendants of slaves, Limbaugh’s ignorant ramblings resonate with entirely different emotions…

    But even if he fit in with his politics, let’s hope he doesn’t fit in with his polarizing, racist demagoguery. And yes, that is exactly what it is, no matter how many of his blindly loyal supporters want to put the “politically incorrect” party dress on it.

    “The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies.”

    Ladies and gentlemen: The de facto leader of the Republican Party. KKKlassy!

    I really hope this story has legs, and that racist asshole Rush Limbaugh continues in his quest to purchase an NFL team so more people can hear what the de facto leader of the Republican party is really all about, if they hadn’t already.

    Nice idol you Dittoheads worship. KKKlassy!!

    It’s entirely within Chairman Rush’s rights to try and buy into a franchise. It’s also within the rights of NFL players to state that they will never play for his sorry, drug-addled, bigoted ass.

    Rush doesn’t discriminate – he hates everyone, and especially himself.

    Looking forward to him dropping dead one fine day, and just thing how many more fat, white, freaky right wing morons will be long gone dead too???

    The younger generation is going left big time. The GOP as we know it is toast in the long run.
