The pre-game show was repulsive.
I muted it, and turned on my iPod to catch up on Rush until kickoff.

Football is politics?

That's a laugh. It's ENTERTAINMENT.

Politics LOOKS and SOUNDS like entertainment but it is our way of life and the structure of our government from the grass roots to the Congress to the Executive.

Oh, I forgot, football is the breath of life for BOOKIES.

First, Big Oil.

Then Big Business.

Now the Left has a new bogeyman: Big Football.

Why must they ruin everything?

CBS has such a boring pregame show. It’s a snoozefest unlike their counterparts on FOX and the NFL network. I think JB went to Harvard, so it figures.

"Football has jumped the shark and has now become politics."

All my local sports-talk guys could talk about all day was Ray Rice and Roger Goodell. If only the media were half as interested in examining Obama and the IRS.

people watch professional sports in order to escape daily work drudgery and politics.

If sports become political then they’ll get bored and then there will be no reason to watch sports.

rush is hugely hugely political however he understands sports better than the sports managers.

What is more, probably the average person walking down the street does also.

sports better than sports professionals sports better than sports

Back in the 90s I subscribed to The Sporting News. Back then there was no internet to get stats and stories. But the columns became more and more about about sports as “social justice.” I let the subscription lapse.

The Ray Rice deal is just a continuation of that. Now everyone is expected to spout the politically correct Party Line and say “Everything is awesome.” If you don’t your career is OVER.

You know, I’m really sick of this.

Yes, of course a man shouldn’t beat up a woman; of course he did wrong. But I can’t take any more of these public spectacles...any slight, small or great, perceived or real, to the Great and Holy Triumvirate of Cherished Victims-—blacks, queers, and women-—must be met with rending of garments, wailing, and screams of outrage.

Did anyone see Jerry Richardson, the owner of the Carolina Panthers (my team) blubbering and crying about how much he hates domestic violence? Sheesh, what a trainwreck.

Did you see where Adrian Peterson has been indicted for abuse of a child? Local news said he spanked his child - possibly with a “rod” of some sort (stick, ruler?) - he has hired one of the most prominent lawyers in Houston.

Sports media is awful as Rush describes it worst of the PC worst.

Small quibble with Rush: it was napalm, not Agent Orange, that caused the burns. And, BTW, it was the South Vietnam Air Force that dropped the bomb in a friendly fire incident.

The old loaded question was “Have you stopped beating your wife?”

The new one is “Have you stopped other people from beating their wives?”
