that was a bit over stated, i guess. but his comment was off base. there is no proof of what he asserted. so yes, i disagree with his statement, and with him in general.
but it's not up to me, and i hope he's blocked.
No where am I arguing that what he said wasn't in the proper venue (they brought him in to be the voice of the fan, not to be a political commentator). No where am I arguing that what he said is 100% true. What I
am saying is its a legitimate point with some factual merit, and is not in and of itself racist.
You may disagree with it based on facts. But a case, using facts, can also very clearly be made for it. If you want hard facts, look at the numbers he put up and where he ranked as a QB during that time compared to how he was made out to be. If you want anecdotal look at the way in which the entire sports media treated the Superbowl pitting the Bears vs the Colts.
I'm not saying its not reasonable to disagree with Rush, or think his comment was out of place. I'm just saying its not an entirely ludicrous argument, nor that its racist.
fan doesn't equal good owner.
Don't have to tell me. Dan Snyder was a life long redskins fan and runs his team like a ****ing fantasy football league.
I'm not saying because Rush is a fan he'd be a good owner. I'm saying that I have more faith in him then say, Dan Snyder, because Rush is relatively smart when it comes to emulating success and he's got a great respect for the Pittsburgh Steelers and how they run the football team, so if I was a betting man I'd imagine he's much, much, much more likely to sign pay checks and sit in the owners box with his cigars rather than say....
saying lets go sign this fat tub of lard that needs to get carted off the field ever 8 plays and pay him $100 million dollars
or lets go grab the likes of Adam Archuletta and Brandon Lloyd
or lets sign washed up players for far too much money like Deion Sanders and Bruce Smith.
or lets trade a draft pick for TJ Duckett when we have 3 backs already and never use him
or lets fire a good coach after he rallies the team to an 8 and 3 end of the season and hire the ole ball coach.
I hate you dan snyder
