To say the Media trumped McNabb up because he was black is not racist

No, it's not racist. But it was unnecessary and foolish in the context of discussing McNabb's on the field performance. ESPN as his employer has the right to dump him if they are going to catch hell for his remarks. Perhaps if Rush established himself on the show for a season or so, this may have went down better. But he came across as a political hack - the very thing he should have been trying to avoid for that gig. Again, it's not a matter of right/wrong or racist/not racist. He screwed up and paid the price. He seems willing to pay that price, I wish him the best.

Go read the quote.

Rush was defending the defense on this one. He never spoke of McNabbs performance. The issue here was that the media was giving a lot of credit for the success of the team to McNabb when Rush felt it belonged to the defense.

There are a lot of black guys on that defense he was sticking up for you know.
