What are you thoughts on his comments and how do you feel about it? Racist?
What would happen if someone like Michael Irvin (who Limbaugh works with) felt the same way and said something like this?
Is it wrong for a black person to say something like this?
Is it wrong for a black person to call a white QB overrated?
I don't think race is even considered an issue with these questions. And they would be the same circumstances.
I know racial issues can get intense sometimes, but here I think this should have never happened.
I think McNabb is a good QB, but I haven't seen enough Philly football to say whether McNabb is the real deal or not. I think this whole thing has been blown out of proportion, especially with the racist issue. I think there is some truth to what Limbaugh says about McNabb. Sure McNabb is good, but is he really that good to get so much hype? So far it seems like Limbaugh would be correct. All players have their bad games, and lets hope that McNabb can prove Limbaugh wrong over the course of the season.
