I just caught a clip of Spike Lee on ESPN and couldn't help but notice the similarities between what Spike Lee said about Larry Bird and what Rush Limbaugh said about Donovan McNabb on your network.
He made some ridiculous comments about Larry Bird. Not only did he say Larry Bird was the most overated player, he said that the "white media" would make you think that there were no great players before Larry Bird. This is even more outrageous than Limbaugh's idiotic statements and I'm wondering what kind of response ESPN will have to this hate filled, race baiting, has-been film director.
I could tell that Mr. McKindry was uncomfortable with the story and it's going to be interesting to see how other's respond.
Maybe we can get a comment from Isiah Thomas and Dennis Rodman who said that if Bird was a black man, he'd be just another average basketball player.
I doubt that the gutless wonders that run ESPN will comment at all on Spike Lee's statements. Your probably afraid of being labeled 'racist' for questioning a black man on the subject of race.
Because, as I'm sure you all know, there is no such thing as a black racist. Only white people can be racist. Jesse Jackson tells me so.
Let's see how many sports reporters call up Bird and ask him for a reaction. Let's ask Bill Walton if he'll publicly trash Spike Lee the way Tom Jackson trashed Rush Limbaugh. I won't hold my breath.
If you won't respond to Spike Lee, then at least respond to me and answer this question:
What exactly is the difference between Spike Lee's comments and Rush Limbaugh's comments other than the race of the accuser and the accused?
Thanks for your attention.
