RUSH: Grab sound bite number 1. I want to go back to Friday because we had some sports stuff happen over the weekend, and this just documents that you should not doubt me. On Friday I was describing for everybody how professional sports is now — I don’t know if “embrace” is the right word. I guess for the sake of discussion “embrace” means loving. There is nothing love oriented here. Professional sports is now allowing itself to be totally corrupted by outside political forces for which we have used sports as a means of escaping, which was my point.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Grab timebit number one. I want to go back to

(00:03):
the Friday because we had some sports stuff happen over
the weekend, and this is just documents that you should
not doubt me. On Friday, I was describing for everybody
how professional sports is now. I don't have embraces the
right word. They they they're they're there. I guess for

(00:26):
the sake of Disco, embrace means loving, and that there's
nothing love oriented here. The professional sports is now allowing
itself to be totally corrupted by outside political forces for
which we have used sports as a means of escaping,

(00:49):
which was my point. An NFL game or a Sunday afternoon,
or spending some time watching Major League Baseball, the NBA,
college football, whatever, it's a respite. It's a place you
go to escape all of this, including controversy, the controversy
of politics, corruption, you name it. Now these sports leagues

(01:09):
are embracing all that you use sports to escape from,
and they are incorporating all of it into their daily
presentation of their business. Football games, baseball games, what have you.
For example, what in the world are they thinking when

(01:29):
coaches and even some owners say they will join their
players in kneeling during the national anthem in the pregame.
I mean, isn't that by the way, Posse, Now, aren't
we so far beyond what that protest is about? Anyway?
What do they think is going to happen? They've already

(01:54):
got evidence what happens to our audience when you do that,
when just the two or three players do it. But
you know what they're saying, Well, we're not gonna be
able to have fans in the stands anyway because of
the virus, So what the hell doesn't matter if our
players want to kneel, We're gonna be right there with them,
showing solidary. You're showing solidarity for a bunch of people who,

(02:16):
whether they know it or not, are facilitating this anti
American movement. They are not promoting justice, they are not
promoting safe police, they're not promoting anything. They are being
used by the cabal of Marxists that is attempting to
tear apart this country. What in the world do they

(02:37):
think is the advantage it's going to accrue to them
by doing this, Well, Russida is ain't gonna be showing
solidarity with the players, and that's that's everything. They're gonna
be all in it together. Yeah, well, um, last I look,
the players were not investors in the league. They're the

(02:59):
ones being paid. So uh, it just history a lot.
It doesn't make sense. And then I also same show
made this point about some of the people really behind this.
It is white millennial women that are propelling the Black
Lives Matter movement. They're funding it, they're raising money for it,

(03:22):
they are providing people on the ground. It's an amazing
cultural phenomenon to me. And you know why because you
just see the story over the weekend the the overwhelming
almost majority, almost eighty percent support for everything going on
among white educated women college at a white college educated women,

(03:46):
almost eighty percent support this stupid chop chess place in Seattle.
They support that concept, they support torching police, they support
defunding the white college educated women. What does that tell
you about college education today? And then if you if

(04:09):
you further subdivide the group into millennial white women, it's
almost ninety support what's going on here, which makes it
perfectly understandable. Emotion and unfairness and whatever else they're being
told is at the root is Recently, I played a

(04:31):
couple of soundbites of me talking about the NFL game
on Sunday afternoon, the Major League Baseball game any day.
What it represents an escape from those things that distract us,
and escape from the things that upset us, and escape
from it's a it's a bunch of things, but an
NFL Sunday afternoon is is Walter Middy day chanced to

(04:52):
pretend where somebody were not chanced to pretend that we
might be able to do what we see on TV someday.
It's just a total escape. And now they are telling
us though, no, you can't escape it. We're gonna bring
all the controversy you're trying to escape right back to
your house. We're gonna bring it right to your sofa.
If you're in a stadium, we're gonna bring it right

(05:13):
to your seat. You are not going to be able
to escape, because we're gonna make sure that you understand
how ticked off we are at the NFL at your country.
So we're gonna protest your anthem, and we're gonna protest
your flag, and you better understand that it's not about
your flag or your country. It's about some racist pig cops, right, Okay, fine,

(05:35):
And they expect people to watch this, and then we
had you know the fact that it is white millennial
women who in large part are supporting fundraising Black Lives Matter.
So Sunday night on the ESPN they did the sp Awards,

(05:56):
and they had to do these things, of course, virtually
because of the virus. So at the beginning of the
host Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, US soccer star Megan
Rapino and Seattle Storm point guard Sue Bird opened SPS

(06:17):
with a message about sports and black lives matter. Black
lives matter to my white teammates and friends. We need
you to lead to don't just listen, help Do black
lives matter to you when they're not throwing touchdowns, grabbing rebounds,
serving aces. If that was uncomfortable to hear, good Colin

(06:38):
Kaepernick never shied away. He knew that discomfort was essential
to liberation and that fighting the oppression against black people
is bigger than sports. No one deserves white privilege. It's
not something we earned. We can't let sports try and
take us back to the way things were. Our return
must be part of the fight for justice. However, can't

(07:00):
just return to business as usual. And there you have it.
So if you think that you're gonna ever enjoy sports
the way you once did, you that was Megan Rapino.
Well she's at the soccer soccer star, Yeah, soccer star
that hated Trump. And well I'm gonna Mr. Snurdley be thankful.

(07:23):
They're telling you that you're never gonna be able to
enjoy or watch American sports again the way you used to.
We can't go back, uh business as usual. Will you'll
do that by not watching, by not attending. That's um
that that's how you'll kick back, pushback whatever. I'm just

(07:46):
telling you, I'm just I'm just telling you that that
they're fully aware here that they ain't gonna be what
they used to be. They ain't gonna be anybody's escape.
They ain't gonna me just out there playing football or
soccer and trying to be the best they can be,
win champion. No, no, no, no no. They're gonna be
out there making sure everybody knows what a bunch of rotten,

(08:08):
bunch of people of pigs are. And we're gonna make
sure everybody knows how unfair people have been to Black
Lives Matter. We're gonna make sure that people understand the
mob is not gonna stop until a mob gets its way.
That's gonna be the message every Sunday in the NFL,
and the coaches and the players are gonna kneel together
when the anthem is played and the flag is waving.

(08:31):
Brett Farve was also part of the Spard No Different Show. Sorry,
this is TMZ Sports. It's a syndicated sports show, and
this was Saturday. We had a I don't know who
it unidentified correspondent was interviewing Brett Farve said, people people
compare him to Jackie Robinson or Mohammed Ali. Do you

(08:58):
see him with them? Is I see somebody belongs in
Canton someday for all he's done on and off the field. Now,
who do you think they're talking about here? Yeah, they're
talking about Kaepernick. They're asking Brett Farve about Kaepernick here.
I wonder if these guys know that Mohammed Ali's son,

(09:18):
Mohammed Ali Jr. Has come out in strident opposition to
Black Lives Matter. You didn't know that was in a
New York Post last week. Mohammed Ali Jr. Lives out
in California. He said his dad would have nothing to
do with these people. His dad wouldn't want anything to

(09:39):
do with these is no wonder you haven't heard anything
about it? All right? So here wait, now here comes
the answer. So I'm assuming they're asking FARV about Kaepernick
here Who else could it be? So the question again,
people compare him to Jackie Robinson or Mohammed Ali. Colin Kaepernick?

(10:01):
Really Jackie Robbinson, Mohammad Ali? Do you, Mr Farb do
you see Kaepernick with them? Is he somebody belongs in Canton? Someday?
For all he's done on and off the field, it's
not easy for a guy his age, black or white, Hispanic, whatever,
to stop something that you've always trained to do it

(10:23):
and put it on hold, maybe forever, for something that
you believe in. I can only think of right off
the top, I have Pat Tillman is another guy who
did something you know, similar and h and we regard
him as a hero. So I assume that hero status
will will be stamped with with Kaepernick as well. Well,

(10:43):
there you have it. So Colin Kaepernick has now been
placed in the same pedestal as Pat Tilman. Now do
any of you know Pat Tilman? You know the Pat
Tillman story. Well, let me just tell you about Pat Tilborn.
Pat Tillman was a vast overachiever. He was one of

(11:06):
the hardest workers, one of the most devoted to whatever
he was doing. Kind of guys you'll ever meet. Played
for the Arizona Cardinals in the NFL. He was defensive
back safety and after nine eleven he was distraught and
he thought that he wasn't doing enough simply playing football

(11:28):
to defend his country. So he told the Cardinals he
was quitting, resigning, retiring, and he was going to try
out for the American Special Forces unit. He wanted to
become an Army Ranger. For that, he had to go
to Fort Bragg, by the way, and it is a

(11:52):
rigorous you know, next to the Navy Seals, the Rangers
are among the closest men that the United States has
two superman m anywhere. I know, each branch has its
Special Forces like and that's not intended as a as

(12:15):
a slight to the Seals or to the Green Berets,
but the Rangers are indeed an elite unit. And he
made it. He qualified. He was killed by friendly fire
in Afghanistan. He came home to a heroes salute, a

(12:39):
prominent memorial funeral in burial. He um would never kneel
during the anthem. He never did. He would never kneel
while the flag was lying. And yet Brett Farve has

(13:05):
just placed Kaepernick in the same place as Pat Tildman. Well,
it just it depends on how you see things, I guess.
In the meantime, here's Scott Scott's and olmahaa Braska. Great
to have you, sir, Hello ghettos to your rush. Thank you,
one of the one of the best friends I've never met.

(13:27):
Thank you, sir. I just wanted to make a comment.
You know, I work for a fortunate company and I'm
gonna tell you that we've been getting all kinds of
emails and webinar webcast about sensitivity training and it is
offended me to the sense that we are all looked
at his racist unfortunately. Um. And that's my take on

(13:49):
this from the vision of our CEOs and the executives
of this business. And uh, my thought about that is
and I'm gonna tell you that I see CEOs all
over the place where I watched some of these news stations,
and uh, they're falling all over theselves about the sensitivity
and about what we need to do and if they're
so concerned about black lives matters, are so concerned about

(14:10):
race relations. What they ought to be doing is bringing
these businesses back and putting them back in the inner cities.
All this manufacturing that has left the United States of
America ought to be brought back and give people a
shot at making a true living in and building some
respecting themselves. Yeah, but you know what, that's a great,
great point. But they realize they don't have to do that.
All they've got to do is go to these sensitivity

(14:30):
training seminars. That's all they gotta do and then say
the things that you're hearing them say. That's all they've
got to do, and they'll be safe, they'll be protected. Uh,
they'll be on the right side of things. It's all
the same you you were talking about Kaepernick and even
Lebron James, and they've got the platform with Nike and
making all this money through these businesses. Why doesn't Nike
make these Why don't why don't they demand of Nike

(14:51):
to put these manufacturing facilities of these tennis shoes that
they want and they're making money, also put them right
in those inner city neighborhoods. You mean, give them away. No, no,
not give them away. Have manufactured in these inner city Yeah,
we're using slave labor all over the world. Well, there's
this thing called the oppression. There's this thing called us

(15:18):
slave labor. Uh, don't think these people want any part
of that. And then there's a thing called a skill set. Well,
hell not. And not tracking with these guys. I look
at it his two face and again the the their
actions do not match up with what they're looking. It's
no different than what the CEOs did when climate change

(15:40):
was ruling the roost. I got so sick. I mean,
from bounty paper towels down the automobile manufacturers too, to
these tied whatever they are, little capsules tied did you
throw in the in the washing machine? Every damn one
of them had some length KAY to Green America. And

(16:02):
there was nothing they were doing to promote the environment.
They just put it in as part of the packaging
and part of the advertising that so they would so
that they would they would fool young millennial college educated
people into thinking that these massive corporations were actually seeing
the light and trying to change and do whatever they

(16:23):
could to protect the planet. And all it was was
an end run. It was not intended to do anything
but make a marketing connection. They weren't actually doing these CEOs.
They know full we don't need to go any sensitivity
training to find out how to deal with Black Lives
Matter or the abuse of women or any of that.
They know how to do all that. They wouldn't be CEOs.

(16:46):
They would never be hired at that level if they
were that neanderthal. It's all pr it's all none of
it's real symbolism over substance, whatever you want to say.
