Civil Rights activists and many African Americans supported Cosell, saying he was not a racist.Cosell like Rush got a little full of himself from time to time. The reason Americans of African descent stood by Cosell was his strong ties to Cassius Clay. Cosell outspokenly objected to Clay being stripped of his heavyweight boxing titles because of Clay's refusal to be drafted into the Army during the Vietnam War.

Many people stood by Cosell, but he was a ruined man from that time on. Dont forget Jimmy the Greek either.

Well, for starters, Rush has stood by black coaches and was married by Justice Clarence Thomas. The man is not a racist. If you think he's outspoken, I agree. That's why he makes the big bucks. But the Left wants to shoot him down because he tears them a new one by using their own words and stupidity. They can't handle the truth.
