Lunatic Left: Racism Behind Carroll Call

RUSH: When it comes to the Seahawks, folks, this one is actually real. I mean in terms of it being out there as a legitimate news story. This call that happened in that game -- I'll get back to vaccines here in just a second. I'm just setting the table with all that's coming up on the program today. This thing with that stupid, inexplicable call on the last play of the game in the Super Bowl, do you know that that call, do you know that the reason that call was made was because of latent racism on the Seahawks coaching staff? Yeah, I got it right there in The Nation magazine. And, by the way, not just there, it's everywhere where you find lunatic leftists.

Well, why does it make no sense? Well, I'll explain it if you just sit there and be patient. I'll explain it from the left's perverted thought process, I'll tell you how that call was racist. The call was racist not to give the ball to Marshawn Lynch and instead give it to Russell Wilson because the Seahawks and Coach Carroll think that Wilson is a much cleaner cut black guy. He's a more wholesome black guy than Marshawn Lynch. He's not as dark as Marshawn Lynch, liberals do, and they have now said that they got a source in the Seahawks locker room that told them this, an unnamed source.

This is exactly how liberals think. Liberals think anything like this cannot happen. There has to be a reason. There has to be a bigoted reason behind everything that they can't explain, and in this case that's the Seahawks coaching. Now, we're in a split-second circumstance here. We've got less than a minute. We got one time-out. We've got the Super Bowl -- this is what's crazy about the Belichick-is-a-genius rumors. Everybody's in panic mode at that time. Nobody is traveling along at five miles an hour seeing the whole world go by in slow motion and have time to come up with a reason, genius. Everybody's reacting here.

So the idea that Belichick is some genius by not calling a time-out and forcing the Patriots into throwing a pass, that's as ridiculous as this, which is that the Seahawks coaching staff, not just Carroll, but the management, too, they're tired of Marshawn Lynch. He's a bad actor, grabs crotch after touchdowns, gets fined, he won't talk to the media. They don't want this guy to be the star of the game, no way. They want the clean cut face of the franchise, Russell Wilson, to be the star of the game.

That's why they didn't call a play that would win the Super Bowl. And they claim that they've got a source in the Seattle locker room, a player, unnamed, that is responsible for spreading this rumor. And there are many other rumors that are variations on that theme. You probably have heard them. But the left is eagerly picking this one up and running with it, racism, bigotry, explains why Marshawn Lynch did not get the call.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Grab audio sound bite number five. This is last night on The Kelly File, the Fox News Channel. She's speaking to a lawyer, the attorney Arthur Aidala about the Seahawk decision to try a pass play instead of giving the ball to Marshawn Lynch, and here you go.

AIDALA: The other theory, which is more compelling and more believable, is that Pete Carroll was almost instructed that the running back who mocked the media, who mocked the system the whole week, could not be the star of the game, could not be the MVP. They wanted Wilson, the quarterback, to be the MVP. People were saying this in the locker room, apparently, Megyn, some of the players are saying they didn't want to let the running back be the star.

RUSH: Okay. So there you have it. That's Arthur Aidala, a lawyer on Fox News, and then a bunch of lunatic fringe leftist bigots and racists themselves are out there making the same claim that it was racism behind the call, the politics of race is behind the call not to give it to Marshawn Lynch. And everybody is sourcing Seahawks players.

Now, if Seahawks players, unnamed in the locker room, are telling people in the media that's what they think, then they got more trouble on that team and they got more trouble in that locker room than anybody has any idea. You got two black guys here, you got Russell Wilson, you got Marshawn Lynch and people are charging racism here because one of them is more authentic than the other. That would be Lynch is more authentically black and therefore the Seahawks don't like these -- you know, the crotch grabbing after he scores a touchdown sometimes, and he doesn't talk to the media and basically a malcontent. They didn't want to reward that.

People need to remind themselves they just signed Marshawn Lynch to a massive contract extension. They just announced this Super Bowl week. I mean, it's not as though they're trying to get rid of the guy.

One of the few things that’ll cause me to turn Rush off is when he talks sports.

This was one of those days.

Just me, but I really don’t give a sh** which collection O’felons wins the ring.

[Stentor]

I have it on good authority that the call was in response to Joe Frazier’s defeat of Jerry Quarry.

[colorado tanker]

There may be something to this other than leftist stupidity.

The Seahawks traded Percy Harvin to the Jets mid-season because he was disruptive in the locker room and on the field. Some reports said the locker room was dividing between pro-Wilson and anti-Wilson factions.

Now that they lost the big one, that locker room may be dividing again and disgruntled players may be leaking this stuff.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

Makes perfect sense to me Fire Him!!!

[TexasCajun]

Just call it what it was, a crappy call!

The Seahags, a 9-11 Truther for a coach & a bunch of classless thugs for players.

[bobby.223]

Except Beast Mode ALMOST scored just the play before, ( stopped just a bit short of the goal line on a rushing attempt), so that blows this turd’s little racist crap UP!!!

” One of the few things that’ll cause me to turn Rush off is when he talks sports.”

Yep....we have 1000 stations for sports talk

Personally I think they threw the game on purpose. If not using Lynch at the one and throwing a slant pass into the middle of a defense bunched up to block Lynch to literally win the Superbowlisn’t enough, then there’s the way the pass was thrown. People are used to see the ball thrown ahead of the receiver, leading him to it. And that is what was done here, too - clearly.

But that’s NOT how a slant pass is thrown. Even in my brief HS football career, I hated receiving a slant pass because its thrown like a bullet - precisely BECAUSE there’s so many defenders right next the the receiver. In fact, if the receiver is running fast enough and twisted all the way around, to force of the ball hitting him in the chest can literally knock him off his feet. It is not a gentle play - the ball is drilled in between the defense like lightning, and it hurts like hell to catch it. And its not even just interception that it’s the main problem, but that many people nearby makes it easy for someone to simply knock it down.

That being the case, when I watched this play and saw the huge leading angle of the ball ahead if the receiver who was only ten yards away, damn near thrown straight at the guy who intercepted it, I just thought, “no way.”

[Salvey]

NFL football is becoming “entertainment” in the same sense as professional wrestling.

[Carry me back]

Some are acting that it was automatic that Lynch would have scored. It was far from it. Earlier in the game i think Seattle had the ball on about the 5 gave it to Lynch he was tackled in the backfield and they had to kick a field goal and went up 10 instead of 14. It was a very big play in the game. Maybe Carroll was thinking about that.

[Dr. Ursus]

I ain’t go in’ to no MF dizzy land- Lynch!

[ez]

It was also a crappy throw. Cris carter says that ball should have throw low at the knees. If that ball was thrown low it is likely that Butler would not have had an easy catch like he did at his shoulder.

[edwinland]

A better title would be “Lunatic Leftist”.

This is like arguing with liberals who delight in one idiot quote from one tea party member in some random city you never heard.

Must be a slow day for Rush, what with nothing happening of any substance in the world and everything.

[Rummyfan]

Crazy. But.... Weren't there reports earlier in the season that Wilson wasn't black enough, per some of his teammates? Like Robert Griffin III is a cornbread brother, not down for the struggle?

[MAexile]

It was a very big play in the game. Maybe Carroll was thinking about that.

Hightower and Ninkovich were on him all night, and my understanding is that Lynch's record of running it in from the 1 yard line is something like 1 and 5. A passing play makes sense.

Of course if they had run the ball and failed, it would still be considered racist.

I know, the ball is racist! Pigskin, pork, white meat, makes sense to me.

[bobby.223]

Huh? Are you forgetting Lynch almost scored on a rushing attempt just the play before. Did he stop short to throw the game?

[Talisker]

I’m saying no quarterback leads a slant pass - not in HS, not in college, not in the pros, and not on the one yard line to win the Superbowl. Those passes are ALWAYS fired out of a cannon straight at the receivers chest, who’s only ten yards away.

And this one was too - straight into the guy who intercepted it.

Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt.

[bobby.223]

I agree about the slant 100% but....you did not answer my point about Lynch ALMOST scoring on just the previous play. (Was he ‘told’ to stop short of the goal line? LOL!!) That doesn’t fit your thrown game thing at all does it?
