If a black commentator made the same comments about a white boxer, i would think he is a racist... boxing and football always comes down to the men in the ring and the field...

I am not familiar with Rush's Athletic or military credentials but I would politely suggest that he have stepped about 3 miles out of bounds... This is something he can do on his show but he should have made the overrated comment and left it there...He crossed the line and he knows it...

However, his lack of contrition will probably help his radio show ratings so maybe he took lessons from Anna Nicole Smith, Dennis Rodman, and Madonna in how to be a person that half the people agree with you and the other half loves to hate you and can't look away.... Good marketing but you will forgive me if I thing he is not a good person in this particular situation....

Why does he have to be racist? Why can't his assessment be right?

And welcome to FR to you too.
