RUSH: Some headlines: “NFL Losing Viewers at Alarming Rate But Faces Limits on its Response.” Colin Kaepernick just went out and hired a publisher. Hillary Clinton’s publisher just gave Kaepernick a book deal. I have some prospective titles but I better keep ’em to myself. (interruption) It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t know how to write. Ghostwriters and what have you. This is half the thing. Now if he gets a Fox News gig, he will have achieved a career objective of many young conservatives. I’m teasing, folks. I’m just teasing here.
In kinda one of these giddy moods today. Yesterday I was in a foul humor. Today, I’m not. Nothing changed. Just goes to show you how crazy brain chemistry is. Anyway, “NFL Losing Viewers at Alarming Rate…” Again, they don’t know why they’re losing viewers; they’re so obstinate about this, they don’t know why. They are dead wrong assuming why they’re losing viewers. They think it’s because of other competition for leisure-time dollars.
They don’t stop to think how many leisure time dollars it requires (chuckles) to be an NFL fan these days, not to mention the anthem controversy and the fact that the players are the ones taking action that’s driving people away. I mean, how do you square that? It’s the players people show up to watch, not the owners. Speaking of which, Reverend Jackson has weighed in, and I think the Reverend Jackson may need some clinical help.
You know, it’s been a while since we’ve heard from the Reverend Jackson. There was something that happened yesterday that I said, “We need the Justice Brothers to weigh in on this.” What was the news event? (interruption) The Hollywood…? (interruption) Yeah, yeah, that’s what it was. Oh, folks, if you missed this, this is… (interruption) Thank you for reminding me. BuzzFeed news had a serious editorial piece, an op-ed piece yesterday. The fact that Harvey Weinstein wasn’t abusing or accosting any African-American actresses shows how racist he is and how racist that means Hollywood is.
So are we to conclude that if Harvey Weinstein had invited some African-American actresses to his suite or elsewhere, that at least we could have said Harvey was not racist in his sexual harassment? I mean, who thinks this way? The left does. That’s right, and I said, “The Justice Brothers need to look into this. That would be perfect for Sharpton and Jackson to look into.” Anyway, the Reverend Jackson was on Fox Sports 1 Undisputed. That’s Fox Sports’ cable network, channel 219, DirecTV.
He bashed Donald Trump for referring to anthem kneelers as SOBs, and then he took aim at the NFL. The NFL’s doing everything it can to accommodate these guys! What is he doing aiming at the NFL? And here’s how he did it. “To go from picking cotton balls to picking footballs and basketballs without freedom is not very much progress,” the Reverend Jackson said yesterday. Do we have…? Let me check. Let me check the sound bite. Yeah, we’ve got this. I knew we had this. It’s audio sound bite number 19. Grab it. Here we are. Three…two…one…
JACKSON: All of the free agents around the world owe their wages and their — and their benefits to Curt Flood, who paid the price of rebelling against the system of oppression. In many ways, it — it is oppressive. They go from picking cotton balls to picking footballs and basketballs without freedom, is not very much progress. It’s just a — a lateral move. And what strikes me is that in football, the reason why some of the guys are standing when the president says fire them. And they’re talking about sons of bitches. These boys are not sons of bitches. They’re sons of mothers who have produced champions. They are not sons of bitches.
RUSH: All right. Now, but what did he just do? “You go from picking cotton balls to pickin…” Who picked cotton balls? Is he confusing that with boll weevils? You know, the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. He says, “You go from picking cotton balls to picking footballs and basketballs without freedom is not much progress. It’s just a lateral move.” He is attacking three different industries under one general umbrella — professional sports — that have made African-American men exceedingly wealthy!
And they have so much freedom that they can protest their own country and the national anthem, and their bosses defend them! What is he talking about? What in the name of Sam Hill is he talking about? This is why I am suggesting there may be a need for clinical help here. “You go from picking cotton balls to picking footballs and basketballs…” Notice he left out baseballs. How do you pick a football? I mean, you could say it’s an interception. An interception is called a “pick,” but that’s not what the Reverend Jackson means.
(summarized) “When the president says, ‘Fire them,’ you talk about sons of… These boys are not the sons of… They’re sons of mothers that produce champions. They’re not sons… But they’re just making lateral moves out there. They’re picking footballs, and they’re picking basketballs, and they’re doing it laterally with no freedom.” This is absurd. I share this with you simply to illustrate yet another miniature little implosion on the left. Everything coming out of the left these days — one way or another — is nonsensical.
And I really… What in the world is he doing attacking…? These sons of champions he’s talking about here are exceedingly wealthy. They are wealthy way beyond the national average, and their bosses are allowing them to take action which is hurting the game and still paying them. Lateral move? Anyway, I have missed the Reverend Jackson. I’ve missed this. He hasn’t been around. I don’t know where he’s been, but he hasn’t been around. For all the issues that would bring him from wherever he been hiding, this one?
Anyway, he’s on Fox Sports 1. How interesting might that have been to watch!
You know I have not seen or noticed her in quite a while. I used to be able to do a search by searching for Fox News bios, that had all the anchors, reporters, and contributors by alphabetical sequence. Unfortunately it does not work anymore.
These millionaire mutts can go from picking cotton balls and footballs to picking their own dingle berries as far as I am concerned.
Tell ya what, you race-baiting whore, let’s go ahead and make the NFL rosters look exactly like the racial mix of America. What you say, you worthless POS?
(Actually, it would probably make the NFL more popular.)
“I use a few of them to weight a Taylormade driver head”
Try a shot of PAM cooking spray on the Driver face. That will decrease friction thus eliminating unwanted spin. Great stuff, not allowed for match play.
Wouldn’t that be Cotton Bowl pickers?
There goes Jesse “Somebody should cut his nuts off!” Jackson...
I pick cotton balls out of my medicine cabinet, how they get there I’ll never know. I certainly don’t plant for them. They even get inside the bottles!
>>My Parents picked Cotton
“CULTURAL APPROPRIATION!!!”
Jesse Jackson is a race-baiting poverty pimp.
Jesse, pay this old, slow, skinny white guy several million a year and I will gladly take the place of a kneeling NFL player.
Malcolm X said “the chickens came home to roost” after Kennedy was assassinated. Seeing him with Fideal Castro is no surprise. Figures they’d be buddies.
And then there was Obama’s “pastor” Jeremiah Wright, Jr. with “chickens come home to roost”.
They love their little pet sayings.
Louis Farrakhan, Santiago de Cuba, February, 1998: "There is not a member of the black masses in the United States who is not proud of the example set by Cuba and its revolution, with Comandante Fidel at its head"

Re: Millions More Movement rally, Oct 15, 2005:
Unity generates power to change reality
By the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan
"The time has never been more ripe for a strategic relationship between the Black, Brown, Native American and the poor of this nation and the world."
"We need a Ministry of Defense. Our young men are born soldiers, but they are in the wrong war. They are fighting a war in the streets of America against each other, or they are fighting an unjust war overseas in Afghanistan and Iraq. We need to bring our boys home and put them into the Ministry of Defense, so we can defend our communities, rather than destroy our communities.
We need a Ministry of Art and Culture. We applaud the hip hop community, the leaders of young people all over the world, but I want the young generation of artists to know there is a bigger purpose for art and culture than popping our fingers and shaking our backsides. Mao Tse Tung, throughout his long march to conquer China, had a billion people whose lives he had to transform. Many of them were victims of opium, drugs and prostitution, like we are. But Mao Tse Tung went to the cultural community and they accepted his idea. Then, through song, dance, poetry, drama, documentaries, movies and books, the idea of Mao Tse Tung became the idea of a billion people. China became a world power on the base of culture and the artistic community. If we had a Ministry of Art and Culture in every city, [we'd] create this movement [in the U.S.], we could say to our young people, “What is the idea of the Time and are you reflecting that idea in your songs, dance and music?
We need a Ministry of Trade and Commerce. Do you think that a Millions More Movement should not be involved in the development of Africa, the Caribbean and Central America? ... we need a Ministry of Trade and Commerce that can link the struggle here with Africa and the Caribbean, Central and South America.

[The so-called “Nation of Islam”, or Black Muslim movement, like Jeremiah Wright’s phony church movement, is actually a communist front]
I would believe that. I’m sure BLT finds skulls full of mush to join up with such, as foot-soldiers.
If they paid me millions of dollars to pick cotton, I would do it in a New York minute!
Jackson's Half Brother Is Indicted In Hiring of Killers and Skimming
A Federal grand jury today charged Noah Robinson, half brother of the Rev. Jesse Jackson, with skimming receipts from Wendy's restaurants he owns and hiring a street gang to kill a man who uncovered the scheme.
How Jesse Jackson Jr. collects $138,400 a year from the federal government
Records from former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.'s divorce case show how he has been able to collect hefty benefit checks from the federal government after serving time in prison for looting hundreds of thousands of dollars from his campaign fund.
I think the good reverend was attempting to use the words “cotton bolls.” How could he not know that. Cotton balls are in a bag in the cosmetic aisle. An idiot.
