Chicago Bears head coach Lovie Smith is endorsing President Barack Obama as part of an outreach effort by the re-election campaign to encourage continued support from the African-American community.

So, blatently racial appeal. Imagine if a White coach came out for Romney or Santorum based on the fact that they are White. It would make the Rush “slut” controversy seem like the acoustic set before a Metallica concert!

Overt clearly declared racism.

He should be fired before the sun goes down.

Instead - we all look the other way.

By not firing - Bears organization condones racism - should be fined and penalized.

Imagine - Limbaugh couldn’t be an owner - but this DECLARED RACISM is OK?

Every whote player or coach who has ever been fired or let go by Lovie Smith - or the Bears - should immediately sue.

The guy just openly declared he makes decisions based on skin color.

That is illegal.

I bet there are some lawyers for the Bears spitting out their lattes tonight.

The irony is that had Ditka run for Senator against Obama, like many wanted, we would not have the clown in the White House.
