The bums' Rush — and mine

Jewish World Review ^ | Oct. 14, 2003 | Jimmie "J.J." Walker:

[SJackson]

Rush Limbaugh, hired by ESPN to help ratings and spice up its Sunday Morning NFL Show, was fired for stating the facts. For daring to say that the reason Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb was not getting scrutinized for bad play as much as he should, was because the NFL has a policy of wanting Black coaches and quarterbacks to be successful at all and any cost.

What Limbaugh did was to expose yet another form of Affirmative Action — this time, in sports!

The truth, sad as it might be, is it's a League policy that when a coaching position opens, a team must interview a Black candidate. If they don't, they will be made to suffer.

Consider:

** When the Dallas Cowboys made it clear the coach they wanted was Bill Parcells, who is Caucasian, they were forced to interview a Black candidate. No Black would interview for the job because they saw the handwriting on the wall.

** In contrast, when the Cincinnati Bengals had an opening and wanted to fill it with Marvin Lewis, who is Black, they were allowed to do so without being required to go through the motions of seeking out a qualified White guy.

** In another case, involving Steve Mariucci and the Detroit Lions, after the player was let go by the San Francisco 49ers, the Motor City team knew they wanted to hire him. Which they did immediately — and then got sacked by the NFL with a two-hundred and fifty thousand dollars because they by-passed a Black candidate.

Now, if that's not Affirmative Action, I don't know what is. If these examples do not prove Limbaugh's point, I don't know what does.

There were no "racial overtones" in what Rush said on-air. He was just reporting the facts — as troubling as they may be.

And how convenient for Limbaugh's critics to forget his saying that he hopes Black quarterbacks do well.

Here are a couple more stories that those attacking Rush would like you not to know about the role of racial politics and double standards in professional sports.

I recall Jimmy Walker on one of the Fox programs, he had a number of conservative beliefs, I don't recall what they were and cannot say how conservative he is.

I am pleasantly surprised by Jimmy's thoughts. Who'd a thunk it?
