Why did Rush Limbaugh get fired for his comments>>

Why did Rush Limbaugh get fired for his comments and Michael Irvin didn't for his???

"He doesn't look like he's that type of an athlete," Irvin said of Romo. "But he is. He is, man. I don't know if some brother down in that line somewhere, I don't know who saw what or where, his great-great-great-great-grandma ran over in the 'hood or something went down."
​

Patrick tried to suggest to Irvin that he shouldn't go there, but Irvin was having none of it, continuing:

"If great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandma pulled one of them studs up out of the barn, 'Come on in here for a second,' you know, and they go out and work in the yard. You know, back in the day."<?XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX = O /><O></O>

Another double standard....Fucking ESPN sucks,phoney fucks.

 

[teazeman]

in spite of the obvious double standard, they both suck.

Michael Irvin has had quite a few lives already...he's quickly becoming the teflon man, nothing sticks to him ...similar to Charles Barkely, he gets a free pass on stuff like that.

 

[PatPatriot]

I personally think its funny as hell as Mike Irvin wanted it to be.
I also think Rushes comments were more of an observation and an accurate one.

 

[Ironman_8]

Ummmmmmm, Romo's not THAT fast.

Yes... There is a double standard. Brothers can get away with more when it comes to talking about there own kind. Its a part of life deal with it...

Hello hello he is not talking about "his own kind" He is talking about Romo and his family. He straight out insulted his grandmother and he should be fired. He is just another angry black man that can't speak english.


Rush was correct all the media blows McNabb. He will never win a thing. Owens as it turns out was correct. He choked in the big moment. Favre sucks Eki sucks and McNabb sucks. Those are facts.

Remember, only a month ago Vick was the second coming of jesus christ according to the the big Sports Media Outlets. They are such a tool.

Hello hello. The thread topic was dealing with how come Irvin can talk about blacks but Rush can't. That's why the thread was started to compare what Irvin and Rush said since they both were talking about black people.

BTW, Irivin was joking around and was far from angry.

 

[TheRightSide]

WOw can you read or what. Irvin insulted a person of another race. Rush insulted the media for not calling out McNabb. Rush pointed out how nobody in the media rips on McNabb even though he makes bad plays. Irvin riped on a mans family, his heritage. That is far far far worse than anything Rush or Kramer have ever said. Irvin should be fired. He's just a dumbass ex cokehead jock. You defending him just makes you look just as stupid.

 

[FatTony]

Because Irvin gets ESPN their coke.



Rush only brings OxyContin pills to the party.

My roomate made this same point last night. Blacks are allowed to say whatever they want. Put aside PC though, Irving is right. Is there a single white RB or HB in all of college/nfl? There were only 2 or 3 black kids that went to my high school and one of them was the hb. What's the reason for it though? I heard all sorts of stuff from blacks having more testerone, a super achilles heel, selective breeding from slavery, etc.

 

[oldirtyku]

I am not defending anyone. I could really care less what happens to Irvin…

Take care...

Mike Alstott - RB/FB for the Bucs

I should clarify that I don't think his comments were wrong, I just think a white person would be wrongly persecuted for saying the things that black people can say.

Mike Alstott - RB/FB for the Bucs

He's a FB, not a running back. He's got no speed. Either way, that's only 1 guy.

 

[SamOdom]

The term "athleticism" is used ONLY for black guys - As Jesse Jackson would say that is a "code word."

Anyone here who does not believe the MSM is desirous of a super star black QB is just fooling himself.

hno:

Levi, do YOU believe that?

Wow...

It's got to be something. Blacks have more lean muscle mass then whites and more fast twitch muscle.

 

[RobFunk]

There isnt a single one of you that wouldnt perfer Irvin and or Barkley on TV over Rush. It's that simple.

I think the OP is the one being phony here.
