(NFL Players)Bart Scott and Kiwanuka said they will not play for Limbaugh.

Bart Scott

"It's an oxymoron that he criticized Donovan McNabb ... A lot of us took it as more of a racial-type thing. I can only imagine how his players would feel. I know I wouldn't want to play for him. He's a jerk. He's an ---. What he said (about McNabb) was inappropriate and insensitive, totally off-base. He could offer 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."

Some black players won't play for Rush Limbaugh if he buys Rams

Conservative talk-show host Rush Limbaugh has some Americans that love him and plenty that hate him. And the fact that he spouts such right-wing opinions doing his day job may hurt Limbaugh's chances of getting some players if he manages to buy the St. Louis Rams, according to the New York Daily News.

New York Giants defensive end Mathias Kiwanuka(notes) would love to play again under Rams head coach Steve Spagnuolo, who was his defensive coordinator in New York, but Kiwanuka is saying that there is no way he would go play for St. Louis if Limbaugh takes over. New York Jets linebacker Bart Scott(notes) told the paper the same thing yesterday and it seems that it may be a general sentiment for a lot of black NFL players.

"All I know is from the last comment I heard, he said in (President) Obama's America, white kids are getting beat up on the bus while black kids are chanting 'right on,'" Kiwanuka told the paper. "He can do whatever he wants; it is a free country. But if it goes through, I can tell you where I am not going to play."

:toast:

fucking excellent!

Bummer I couldn't in the Sports Forum, though it's probably best for all of DU that recs aren't allowed down there. :D

I saw a Lions win thread in the Sports forum that had about 4 recommends which means that it was likely moved from here.

to play in the NFL for him for free. It would make for an interesting team.

This comes after in addition to what was posted in the last paragraph of the OP.

"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."

Even though I hate his guts.

Yep, that's Rush.

367 yards, 4.4 YPC, 91.8 YPG. He is also a democrat.

Trib: Republican or Democrat?
Jackson: Democrat. It’s just the way I was brought up.

I feel sorry for Jackson if Rush gets this team.

If your in the NFLPA and your heading into the toughest Union contract talks ever, do you want an anti-union person with a mouth piece to 20-30 million Americans daily to join the NFL? I'm pretty sure that's an easy no.

It was a poorly kept secret. I am glad some players are taking a stance against the drug-addled pedophile.

will be to find an example of one time when a black coach said something extreme, but the white players kept playing for him anyway, and then they'll cry about double standards. Like clockwork.
