F-ck You Tom Jackson
I finally got mad after watching the first 15 minutes of ESPN Sunday Countdown yesterday.I could understand Boomer's comments, Young's comments, and Irvin's comments. Tom Jackson's comments were what set me off.
I've written this post in my head 100 times since yesterday morning, and I no longer have the requisite anger and motivation to type out all the words, ...so here is a short synopsis:
1. Fuck you, asshole.
2. You are fucking moron.
3. Take your NFC-hating, Packer-hating, intollerent, sanctimonious bullshit and shove it up your fat ass.
4. What Rush said was not "hurtfull" as you said over and over on Sunday. If you think it is, then you really have serious problem with perspective. Rush said something negative about a black player and his view of the media's favorable treatment of that player. He did not say the player was bad BECAUSE he was black. He made an observation which you can agree with or disagree with, but to be "hurt" by it (looking like you were about to cry on the set) is moronic.
5. Your NFL friend who called to tell you that his son asked him "Daddy, is it ok for a black person to play quarterback?" or whatever dumbass thing the idiot kid said ...the proper response from the dad should have been, "Of course it is son, don't be an idiot. Look around you. There's black quarterbacks everywhere. One of them was criticized, that's all." But Tom Jackson used this pathetic story to insinuate that Rush's comments were an attack on blacks and black quarterbacks, and they obviously weren't. You can excuse a kid for being stupid, because all kids really are. But Jackson has no excuse. I think Jackson is a prejudiced, ignorant, intollerant buffoon. I've never really liked him. And I never will.
That said
I think Rush's comments were out of place on that show. I don't want to watch a politically divisive show on Sunday morning before football. I just don't. Football, and sports in general, should bring us all together. I know, I know, ...the left bring politics into it all the time, ...and I think that is the only time we should address it. Defensively. Not offensively. The world is too PC to do it any other way. Even though we may have rightness on our side in the argument, we will lose because no one will hear what we say. As soon as something un-PC is said, it's over.
***UPDATE*** There wasn't enough swearing in this post, ...so let me repeat, Fuck you Tom Jackson. And let me add, ...go to hell!
