It’s Mr Rooney, an Irish Catholic, who saw the color of Obama’s skin rather than the content of his character.
The Steeler’s coach came to a winning team with great asst. coaches.
The Cardinals coach took a team from nowhere to the superbowl in the same time period.
If you are going to call me a racist, get your facts straight. But then you are the one who thinks it’s okay to prefer someone because of the color of his skin.
That said, Mr. Rooney isn’t the only catholic to support Obama.
Pity, isn’t it.
You're accusing me of doing exactly what you do to me in this one paragraph.
Both coaches are well skilled at their job, and both did an excellent job tonight. It was you who brought race into the discussion. Not me.
If you dislike Rooney's politics, fine, but don't take it out on me.
I was pissed when rooney thanked obama at the end, but you know what, f**kit. We can know the differnce between games and real life. If old Dan wants to pimp this so he can be a envoy to Ireland, so be it. But for the common,blue collar types, we can revel in this victory.
I drank 13 pints of Old Milwalkee durning this game, so if the spelling sux, so be it. I aint letting politics ruin this for me.
Only when it comes to the Steelers.
I’m afraid my husband will convert to Obama/Dem because of the Steelers, who are all-important.
I am posting this to you again so you can lose the Affirmative Action crap. Whiz took the job in AZ approximately a week BEFORE the Steelers made their coaching decision. He took himself out of the running for the Steeler position before any decision was made by taking the AZ job.
Memory foggy, but Whiz never quite jelled w/Big Ben (ie his criticisms of him after the motorcycle accident come to mind as the two of them not having any love lossed). Don’t you think it would be smart for a team to have a coach that works will with their field leader? Grimm was passed over (but apparently he didn’t want to stay and preferred to go w/Whiz) instead of staying w/Tomlin.
Now, given the chance, don’t you think the African American
Cardinals players would be just as happy to go to met w/Obama as their contemporaries on the Steelers are?
So do you get it now...no great liberal manifesto. Just a business decision.
