Race-Baiting Opposition to Rush Limbaugh's Bid for the NFL's St. Louis Rams - Peter Roff (usnews.com)

Seems that there is a hint of racism going on here . I doubt it will get off the ground since the NFL is a business and people may be running their mouths now, but when it comes down to it they will play for the Rams if that is where the highest contract offer is

Who are these "Black Nationalist" you're talking about? The article speaks about the NFL Players Association not wanting it's players to play for an owner who has made racists comments about a black player (Donovan McNabb). Try being honest with your titles.

Proof positive that whites play the race card just as much as they claim black folks do. Smith doesn't seem to have a problem with the other white owners so the race angle isn't going to work this time.

If you're trying to make the asinine point that the players are being racists, perhaps you should find another example of them not wanting to work for a white person. As far as I know, almost all of them currenlty work for white people.

Are you unable to process the fact that Limbaugh is a racist? So you project fake racism on others?

I love this comment from Ta-Nehisi Coates:

Quote:
We live in a country that may well be offended by racism, but it's equally offended that anyone might actually charge as much.

Once again another title that is a bald faced lie that is allowed to stay up.
