You aer the one who can not tell the difference. Forced interviews based on race is a very debateable subject. Saying that the only reason a player is popular is because he is black is just idiotic. You, of course, will cliam he did not say that. I can use my brain and get 2 from 1 plus 1. He said 'The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well' and then follows that up with(damn I can't find it right now, but I'll paraphrase) - And I never thought he was that good to begin with. So 1 and 1 equals = I think he is popular becasue he is black. Which is stupid if you look at the crap Randall Cunningham had to put up with thru his career.

QED

"I think what we've had here is a little social concern in the NFL. The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well,'' Limbaugh said. "There is a little hope invested in McNabb, and he got a lot of credit for the performance of this team that he didn't deserve. The defense carried this team." -- Rush Limbaugh




You may get 2 from 1 plus 1, BUT YOU MADE UP THE SECOND 1!

Rush was sticking up for the Eagles defence. He felt a lot of the credit for the success of the team was being given to McNabb. The defense deserves a lot of that credit.

A lot of those defensive players are black you know. Journalist do them a dis-service when they ignore them to promote Donovan. The media rarely discusses black defensive players, but sure likes to talk about the very white Urlacher.

Rush was sticking up for a lot of black players here.

Yeah, but like Michael Jordan, Randall Cunningham has retired.

The NBA is going through this very thing, and the ratings and attendance in the NBA is in free fall.

Personally, I'm proud of Rush. One week he goes up and defends black coaches. Sportswriters agree nationwide. The NAACP is silent. Next week he says McNabb is essentially no Randall Cunningham, in a day when the NFL is desperately looking for one, and he's forced to resign.

He just conducted the all-time national experiment in both the bias of the news media and of the true state of race relations in America.

Bustamante uses the word 'nigger' in front of a room full of black people, and it barely gets a mention in the press. Limbaugh tells the truth about McNabb and the NFL and gets canned?

We really are sheeple.
