Reply #47: This is about America [View All]

[atlien]

This isn't about Rush. This isn't about Rocker. This isn't about Sapp. This isn't even about ESPN. This is about America. A place where a company like ESPN would even consider hiring a guy like Rush Limbaugh to commentate on a sport dominated by African-Americans. That is what this issue is really about. Look past the soundbites and the numerous quotes of reactions that we are going to hear. This is about America.
Real questions to ask:

1) Why is Rush Limbaugh popular?

2) Why would ESPN think it acceptable, knowing the track record of Mr. Limbaugh, to hire him in this capacity?

3) Why isn't the ire of the masses directed towards ESPN, the entity ultimately responsible for this very predictable situation?

4) Why don't African-American athletes, the moneymakers and thus actual controllers, in this arena, use their collective power to change the landscape and atmosphere of it all?

These are real points to think on? Not Rush (he hasn't done anything that he hasn't BEEN doing) not Rocker or Sapp.

This is about the culture of America.
