Rush was booted from ESPN for making a comment contrived as racist by his enemies.
Jimmy the Greek (dating myself) was fired for saying something to the effect that blacks were better atheletes because they were bred for strength in the days of slavery.
Howard Cossell was fired because he said "Look at that little monkey run!" during a Monday night football game.
Rush's remark was not racist and if memory serves, neither Jimmy the Greek or Horward Cosell were known as racists. They all paid the ultimate price, losing their job.
As a parent, I find this much more damaging than any of the above. We owe it to our kids to demand full accountabilty for this. If we accept a meaningless apology, we have relinquished more of our parental authority and have let slide another example of sports = sex.
