I'm sick of people screaming Racism about shit

ITW [the irish boy]:
That sounds pretty stupid to me. Maybe they thought he was saying that the only reason he was there was coz hes black but i dont see how thats racist. People are way too sensitive these days. If he made a racist remark then sure, he should resign, but that sounds like bullshit. Sounds like he's a decent guy tho if he gave his job up because of it.

UnstoppableForce:
I respect him for resigning in order to keep the image of the station to be ruined. Although, I think they kinda "forced" him to resign ;D

AWS SS 88:
i hope anybody that thinks what he said was racist dies and rots in hell for all eternity,because they are the exact definition of a dumbass

Lincoln:
That isn't racism at all. It's just simply stating that he was Black. Racism has been a word twisted to often in society.

Trauma-san:
Wow, I'm stunned.  I figured everybody would hate on him since he's Rush.  I think ESPN knew what they were getting into when they signed him, they knew he was going to be controversial when they got him, that's why they got him, to kick the show up a little bit.  He's said in the past that he thought it was a shame there were only 3 or 4 black coaches out of 33 in the NFL, and he didn't understand why that was.  He also said that their policy of mandatory interviewing black coaches (the nfl's policy) was going to be horrible, because it means that all these black assistants were just going to get used, and then get the stigma of being chosen over after giving interviews to every team in the league.

Today he gave some big speech at a convention, and said the reason he resigned was because he didn't want ESPN to go through the crap, and that people were blaming the black co-hosts for not saying anything in rebuttal to his comments, and he felt that was unfair, so he just removed the problem by resigning.
