THIS MAN RIGHT HERE IS A GENIUS

“I am not going to draw a conclusion from a person off of one comment, but when it is time after time after time and there’s a consistent pattern of disrespect and just a complete misunderstanding of an entire culture that I am a part of, I can’t respect him as a man,”

Well don’t play and you won’t get paid.

Have you seen the Rams play this season? I guess they aren’t playing for whoever the owner is right now either.

THEY BETTER HAD!!!
I WILL PROTEST THE TEAM IF THE DID!!

If he buys into the Rams, that franchise will lose so much money. The people in St Louis are racist, but they do not support Rush. If the Rams are smart, they will deny his offer. They will be in more financial runin if they do

This guy is an opportunist, its all sensationalism. The culture of his pockets is his only concern.

I wouldn’t play for his azz either because you know that he don’t like you so lets me real here…

the owner of the rams contributed heavily to the republican party. its indicative of the teams lack of success. everyone knows that if u use race as a measuring stick to hire ppl u will ALWAYS come up short. nothing successful happens w/o blk ppl’s hands in it.

@ HANIBAL
ur the reason i will eventually stop coming to this site just like the rest of the regulars i dont see anymore:(

wow, I guess all black male athletes are not stupid.

Good job.. I liked what the player said the most

““A lot of us too it (the McNabb comment) as more of a racial-type thing…I know I wouldn’t want to play for him. He’s a jerk. He’s an ass…He could pay me whatever he wanted, I wouldn’t play for him. I wouldn’t play for Rush Limbaugh. My principles are greater and I can’t be bought.”

nothing like good ol’ integrity and morals!

@STEPHANY

Everything you say is on point but it will never hold weight to the urban market. Why? Cause it doesnt have a catchy hook to it. Sad to state that but its all true.

Limbaugh is an idiot.He gives people like me-who tend to lean conservative-every reason NOT to identify with the ideology.The tent may be big…but I am in open contempt of people like him & his followers who are under it.”Limbaugh Republicans” need’nt feel so smug about their possibilities in 2010.Rush himself has about as much chance of owning the Rams as Larry Flynt did of owning the Reds.

I am so proud of them… Some things are more important than money… and to the monday morning quarterback who thought it was so cute to say that they aren’t playing for the present owner… uh which NFL team do you collect a check from ???? yeah that’s what I thought…

@DR. FUNK

That’s why someone in the Republican needs to get some balls and take a stand against Rush. It’s like everybody keep saying “he’s not our leader” but no one will go against him, just like Michael Steele spoke out and quickly retracted what he said, he wasted no time bowing down kissing the ring..I don’t understand what kind of power Rush has over conservatives, he didn’t have enough power to keep Obama out of office so what does he count for.

@STEFANY

They is no way you can honestly stop someone like Rash I mean Rush. He is a simpleton who only speaks on matters of no real substance. The best thing you can do is ignore him. His ratings go down and so does he is is waiting for someone to take the stand against him. This is how he makes his money waiting for a valid challenger to increase his listeners and his pockets. This is a cause were you need to ignore for the problem to go away. Sponsors only care about ratings and not humanity.

I applaud the players who will not play for the racist.

I would have love to see the look on Rush face this morning when he woke up & heard that the president has another accomplishment that Rush will never get his entire lifetime. He is so jealous of Obama’s Ivy league education & the respect that Obama get from the entire world. Rush has uneducated, poor white redneck trash listeners. That is such a small part of the world we live in.

Wow, how about giving these brothas some kudos for having some integrity!

It’s so rare these days, with everyone so concerned with “getting theirs”.

Maybe the problem is that we see it so little, black folks have forgotten what it looks like.

Black folks need to support these men!

I am sooo pleasantly surprised that some of the players are speaking up about this. Now lets see if they have a united front.
There will be some ignorant players who don’t even know who he is and will say they don’t care, just pay them…
I hope I’m wrong about that.

I’m not black…and they have 100% of my support!!

@atl_finest
I bet most of you guys have never listened to Rush. I am black and have listened for the better part of 10 years. Rush is not a racist. People are quick to throw the “racist” word without knowing what the word truly means. Rush often speaks about how liberal policies have decimated black people, how the Democrat party has used blacks and perpetuates “the racism of low expectations”, how the Democrats have crippled a once proud race of people with its polices by making us (blacks) dependent not on one’s self and community, but dependent on government. Leave your emotions at the door and take the time to actually LISTEN, not hear what he has to say. If you don’t want to listen, transcripts of his entire program are available on his website. Oh, by the way, Rush WAS NOMINATED for a Nobel Peace Prize last year.

I hope others on the Rams team stand their ground as well. I wouldn’t play for a racist who doesn’t hide the fact that a race of people should still be opressed and that the rest of society should be segregated from them. He doesn’t hide the fact that he’s no fan of black people so why should black people be used to make this nutt richer. He should be protested by the black players in the league. Black players probably makeup 90% of the NFL union and they should use their numbers as leverage.

Its good to see black players standing up for what they believe in. ESPN keeps trying to make it seem like its not a big deal and Rush is really a nice guy when you meet him. Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan made their money by never taking a stand and im glad these NFL players care more about their pride than money.

@atl_finest

Oh, by the way, Rush just lost 100 lbs

Well said Mathias. I’m not going to even read the comments because the level of ignorance here I know you guys supported Rush Racist.

The NFL will never let Rush buy into a team if any hint of racism will result, dont look for this deal to happen people.

@GB123
No! I’ve never listened to his show and wouldn’t waste 30secs of my life doing so. You don’t have to listen to his show to know the ignorant comments he’s made because he’s got his Limbaughnites and other disciples to spread his message of “separation and oppression” for his cause; you guys are relentless. Just turn on the idiot box and tune in to Faux news for about 2mins and you’ll see his followers at work. I would ask you to do it but it seems as if you’ve already taken of the role as Sgt at Arms for his movement. And I don’t want to provoke you too much because you’re probably like Steele and the rest of the gang when your ‘most honorable one’ is being attacked; you’ll jump in front of a moving train to protect him. And I dare any of you loyalist to speak out against him because you know it’s ddoms day for your existence, politically and career wise.

YEAH!!!!YEAH!!!!!STAND UP BLACK MAN!!!!!!!

@memphodude
See children, this is what happens when point-counterpoint conversation is attempted on an entertainment site!! Drones, myrmadons and useful idiots!! Beam me up, Scotty!! No signs of intelligent life here!! Kirk out.
Oh, btw, Rush still will make $400 million over the next 5 years!! Success is the best revenge!!

I like the fact that these players are willingly to speak out against and refuse to play for that jackass, luv it

The N.F.L. has 70% black players, and all 70% should feel the same way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let me put the truth out!! This white man is trying to make money off of the black man. Or should I say ” MO MONEY”

The value of Rush and those like him, (I include Farrah Khan and Sharpton in this group of extremes) is that they get us to think and polish our ideas. This does not mean they are brilliant (any fool can sit around and complain) but they can work as intellectual triggers to get the rest of us thinking. However, we must not forget that their success and money comes from exciting the lowest emotions and sterotypes. They make generalations that may seem easy to agree with until they are tested in the real world. I’ll never forget when Rush told a struggling single father to work his way through college with seeking the added help of federal grants. Or when he advised his listners to pay for their medical bills with cash like he does. The impracticality of what he says shows in how his listeners (many of whom are lower income) are so easily shocked or surprised by the details of life. they want easy answeres and the world has never promised us that.

@GB123,

Since you love boasting about your honorable one’s financial status, what’s your fee for being a messenger? More than likely nothing because holding the title of “Token One” usually come cheap; y’all souls are inexpensive. Damn, if you’re going to be bought at least reap handsomely like your emporer. And the sad thing about it is you seem to be exceedingly excited about your loyalty. Like I said earlier, you guys are relentless with the defense of your master.

Oh, yeah, I bet the first call to his radio show is always reserved for you, right? That’s usually one of the perks given to a Token! Things like asking of your opinion, complimenting your monetary donations, and praising your number of convertions are all things to keep a token’s ego stroked. But hold up before you start feeling like the ultimate because ‘Arnolds’ have been around since the beginning of mankind and warfare. Your works have to get greater if you want to reach the history books. Right now I would rate you as a peon, but you show all the signs and traits of a guy determined to reach a higher status.

@memphodude

I refuse to engage in a battle of wits, as I will not take advantage of the handicapped!!

@GB123

You’ve been exposed, dude! I bet you were expelled from the family when they found out your true colors. You’re the kind that hates himself and probably curses GOD for creating your family tree and it’s heritage. Sorry to tell you but your attempt to convert this time has failed miserably. Don’t get too down on yourself because there will days to come when you get your custom pat on the head, just not this time. I know it’s deflating to your soul when fakes like you are detected, but somedays aren’t your greatest. The best advice I can give you is get with the other disciples, work on your craft and take that bs to others who think as yourself. Right now, there’s too many flaws in your game if want to be mentioned as Supreme!

@memphodude
If brevity is the soul of wit, your mindless rants prove you are indeed witless.
