Rev Al throws the racist card at Rush Limbagh

I never heard Rush criticize Black players. He criticized Vick for torturing dogs, hanging them up and whipping them with chains until they died. And he criticized McNabb for being over rated. Which he was and is (despite an excellent come back yesterday). He didn't criticize them for being black
The real kicker in this brouhaha over Limbaugh’s purported effort to become an NFL owner is the uproariously funny spectacle of NFL owners and players solemnly opining on Limbaugh’s supposed divisive words and bad behavior.

When did the NFL become the gold standard of tolerance and diversity? And since when did the NFL Players Association and its nearly 200 members who have been charged with felonies in the last decade become the arbiter of moral wholesomeness?

The National Football League was the last major professional sports organization to hire a black coach. Art Shell was hired in 1988 to coach the Oakland Raiders. It took them 4 years to hire a second - Dennis Green of the Vikings. All told, there have been 10 African American coaches in the entire history of the league. That compares to 49 black coaches in NBA history and 22 in Major League baseball.

And these guys are worried about Limbaugh?

The NBA and pro baseball had programs in place to seek out minority hires in management about a decade before the NFL even broke the color barrier. It took the league another decade to reluctantly adopt a policy to promote minorities on the field. It was ordered that any head coaching vacancy would require at least one minority candidate to be interviewed. Predictably, there were loud complaints that the whole policy was a dog and pony show because the number of black head coaches never increased.

It was left to individual do gooders - Bill Walsh was prominent in the movement to increase minority hires - to take it upon themselves to do something about this embarrassingly shameful situation. With no help from the owners, black assistant coaches began to slowly fill the ranks of NFL teams and got their shots at the big chair.

So when NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell can actually face the cameras with a straight face and say something like this, my hypocrisy meter starts going Off the Scale!

Why should owners be any different than players like those thugs Michael Vick, Michael Irvin, Dante Stallworth, and that other idiot Plaxico Burress.

I don't think that America has ever based a citizen's freedoms on their beliefs. We have a constitution that guarantees otherwise. Yes, the team owners are a tight-knit group, but would they really deny Rush's attempt to buy a franchise? Can they legally? I don't know the answer to that.

Personally, I think Al Gore is using man-made global warming as a scam to make himself, and others, rich. And I believe Michael Moore is a sharp film maker who has found a target audience in those who can't think critically. Would I protest if they wished to spend their fortunes on a sports franchise? Simply, no. Even though I disagree with their beliefs.

In fact, what would the reaction be if Al Sharpton wanted to buy the Rams? What a bunch of hypocritical pansies the NFL idiots are! Screw you Al Sharpton! Sharpton is 10 times more racist than Rush Limbaugh! Why is everything about race from the left?
