2. I voted no.
I despise LimBULL, and think he's an ignoramous. But I don't think he should lose his job because he expresses an unpopular, politically incorrect opinion (he shouldn't have been hired for this position in the first place, imo). I do believe that there may be a little something to what he says, moreso in the past though than today. There are so many black quarterbacks now that I don't think this is really much of an issue anymore. But there probably still are a few people who when they see a black quarterback root for him to do well because of his race. This may be people of the same race, or by people who see things through a political prism and hold strong views about race issues. By the way, its also true that the opposite occurs - and maybe even moreso.

If anything I think LimBULL is just way behind the curve on this; the vast majority of us have long since moved on.

4. But that is the point
McNabb has been accused of everything he has gotten because he is black...just like most successful black people. It is really obnoxious for pig boy to make this accusation. He throws around accusations on military heroes...when he was 4f for a pilonidial cyst....claiming they are not patriotic. I'm glad this is something Joe six pack can see what an a...hole he is.

5. Racist? Institutional. The comaprison was biased in many ways.
I don't expect sports people to keep up with current events, but I didn't think they should be doing that anyway :shrug:

Limbaugh should be smart alecky at most...not political.

Next, we'll have the Supremes ruling that FoxSportsNet can be considered "news" media. :nuke:
