Sport of gangs? Rush should stick to topics he knows, like hate (http://www.probasketballnews.com/story/?storyid=753)
By Chris Bernucca
Pro Basketball News

I love the NBA for a lot of reasons.

But one of the reasons I love the NBA is the same reason why I love house music (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsZjvNeXKtA&feature=related), cooking and personal responsibility.

Because lots of people don't love those things.

Take Rush Limbaugh, for example. The professional blowhard has been in the sports news recently because he is part of a group which also includes former NBA executive Dave Checketts that is trying to buy the St. Louis Rams.

Limbaugh has always been a big football fan. He is a staunch supporter of the Steelers from his early radio days in Pittsburgh and also served as a studio analyst for ESPN, although that didn't work out so well (http://espn.go.com/gen/news/2003/1001/1628537.html).

I could go off on a mean-spirited tangent about how Limbaugh's love of the NFL is similarly conditional to his love of the United States. As long as a black guy isn't at the controls, he's got an endless supply of sloppy, wet kisses for America and its national pastime. But that's a breakaway layup.

What Limbaugh made abundantly clear Wednesday is that he is not a fan of basketball.

While discussing with a caller the use of revenue from a proposed 1 cent sales tax to combat gang violence, Limbaugh called basketball "the favorite sport of gangs (http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/200910070023)."

Limbaugh doesn't reference basketball much. About five years ago, he had a bit to say about the Malice at the Palace, claiming it was "hip-hop culture on parade. This is gang behavior on parade minus the guns. That's the culture that the NBA has become."

Less than a month later, Limbaugh piled on with this gem.

"It's time to get rid of this whole National Basketball Association," he said. "Call it the TBA, the Thug Basketball Association, and stop calling 'em teams. Call 'em gangs."

Of course, Limbaugh didn't reference basketball in 2005, when Kenny Smith organized a charity game (http://www.sptimes.ru/index.php?action_id=2&story_id=15521)and Kevin Garnett donated $1.2 million to build new houses (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2221292) for victims of Hurricane Katrina. Or in 2008, when the NBA went against all conventional wisdom and held All-Star Weekend to New Orleans, which began with a leaguewide Day of Service (http://www.nba.com/allstar2008/nba_cares/).

Nah, you wouldn't want to reference those things. That would have shown up the white guy at the controls and his staff (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RO2xi0uLnj8). But what do you expect from a guy who played a song entitled "Barack the Magic Negro" on the air?

It must please Limbaugh to no end that President Obama's favorite sport is basketball. It makes it so much easier for him to compartmentalize Obama and continue to preach to his choir about how our Commander in Chief fits the false frightening face the radical right puts on blacks.

Which is exactly why I love the NBA - because it inherently excludes close-minded, race-baiting, polarizing know-it-alls like Limbaugh and all of the members of his misguided, dangerous flock.

For example, Limbaugh appeals on some levels to white supremacists, who couldn't possibly have any love for a league that is 75 percent black.

Limbaugh also has a following of jingoists, who would also have plenty of difficulty appreciating a multicultural league that boasts players from all over the globe, some of whom are still learning our language.

Limbaugh gets support from those believing in strict law enforcement, who would definitely have a hard time rationalizing some of the off-the-court behavior of NBA players and subsequent leniency meted out by the judicial system. Additionally, they would not understand the superstar system used by referees.

Limbaugh has the backing of advocates of the sanctity of family, who have little tolerance for the notion of having children out of wedlock.

Limbaugh also has the ear of the religious right, who might have a problem with the NBA's diversity of beliefs and overall secular tone.

Limbaugh has a sect of followers who oppose broadening the range of civil liberties, folks who would frown upon personal expression through body art and hairstyles (http://splog.nationallampoon.com/files/2009/05/chris-andersen.jpg).

And finally, Limbaugh has backers strongly opposed to the use of drugs, who would have no patience for the perceived permissive environment fostered by the NBA. Those folks would have to be more specific about what sort of drug use offends them, lest they be called hypocrites (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/04/28/national/main1561324.shtml).

You see? By loving the NBA, I limit my contact with white supremacists, nutty nationalists, merciless lawmen and legislators, 18th-century ideologues, Jesus freaks, old-fashioned fearmongers and DEA wannabes.

As someone who has voted my wallet, my safety and my conscience in various elections, I will be the first to admit that my political views could be classified as simplistic. Someone as knowledgeable about politics as Limbaugh might even call them ignorant, and he would not be entirely wrong.

But there are some things I know pretty well, like house music, cooking, personal responsibility and basketball, specifically the NBA.

While Limbaugh may know politics, his ridiculous remarks Wednesday revealed his ignorance about basketball and the NBA. Next time, he should just stick with something he knows very well.

Like hate.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Rush Limbaugh just making the racist comments he's supposed to make.....nothing to see here.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

O, and :lmao @ Rush being a bandwagon Steelers fan.

Good old Rush. Why anyone would care what he has to say is beyond me.

[Cry Havoc]

Good old Rush. Why anyone would care what he has to say is beyond me.

Someone hating other people and thus creating an in-crowd is easy to love if you like hearing such things.

It's the same reason Jerry Springer had a top ratings draw on TV for so many years.

Rush isn't racist at all.


You put your kids on a school bus you expect safety but in Obama's America the white kids now get beat up with the black kids cheering 'yeah, right on, right on, right on.' Of course everybody said the white kid deserved it he was born a racist, he's white.

[mingus]

i don't know how anyone can be stupid enough to compare what Limbaugh stated to what Lebron stated. the intent and content are on a completely different level.

[BlackBellamy]

What? LeBron was taking a jab at Mike Miller specifically, right? It's nothing like claiming an entire sports league predominatly made up of black people to be "gangsters". Rush will prolly die happy indeed... on lots of synthetic heroin. Anyways, Rush needs no defense against hypocrisy, he's like satan's patron saint of the shit. The fat-fuck, ludicrous buffoon.

All of us have positives and negatives.

Having listened to his show in the past and seen the way he is often attacked, I've learned to be skeptical of the bashing because of the obvious agenda by those who disagree with the politics of the guy that owns your team.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

I am white, in the past, when I've jokingly called myself an "unathletic white guy" or a "white guy who can't jump," was I being racist against myself?

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

So what Rush says is racist, but Lebron is just "funny"


Yes, because Lebron said it as a joke and it's the only thing Lebron has ever said that could possibly be considered racist, this is one of the many things Rush has said that has been racist. Lebron has never lost a job because he made an extremely controversial race-related topic about an athlete.

What was so offensive about it? Do you find the movie "White men can't jump" racist?

Lebron was clearly joking. Rush never jokes because his sense of humor consists of mimicking people who have Parkinson's and then claiming they were faking. I really don't understand how people can ever defend Fatty McFatfuck.

Cubby, I though that we had an understanding that I will not be trolled. But if you want my opinion... I too have certain issue with Obama, but still feel as if this administration is fairly new and should be allowed a chance regardless of my own political leaning. regarding your question, that is absolutely fucking ridiculous to think that the Commander in Chief should ever have to apologize to his troops for their service or where they serve. Would any of those American boys that died in any of the Bush lead conflicts want an apology for their sacrifice? Absolutely not. They were given orders and made the most selfless and glorious sacrifice in the name of this country and it's populace. Afghanistan of the two major conficts of this decade was certainly the most necessary. We did away with a brutal Taliban led government, which is more than the Soviets could say. You remember the Soviets right? From your the newpapers of your young adult life, 1917? But the hard part is maintaining stability within the region, which is what Obama (and probably whoever Prez. comes after him) has inherited.

[Culburn369]

I too have certain issue with Obama, but still feel as if this administration is still fairly new and should be allowed a chance regardless of my own political leaning.

That's nice of ya. Bush never had a moment's peace from day one of his first administration. Now of course you want an old fashioned presidency where regardless of grudges we're to pull together and act like somebody.

Hussein Obama is a boot licking humpPERIOD And his kids? If they missed one f'ing branch falling down the ugly tree I'd be f'in' amazed.

So Rush apologizing for an incredibly insensitive, mean spirited comment makes it better than a joke Lebron made.

Lebron isn't apologizing simply cause there's no pressure for him to apologize. No one except for the racists on this site who will find any reason to point out racism toward white people find it offensive.

You're the liar, Dumper. Rush apologized.Nope.


On October 24 and 25, a number of media outlets -- including ABC News, CNN, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and the Associated Press -- falsely reported that nationally syndicated radio host Rush Limbaugh "apologized" for recent comments he made about actor Michael J. Fox, who has Parkinson's disease. As Media Matters for America documented, Limbaugh alleged on the October 23 edition of his radio program that Fox's physical appearance in a recent campaign advertisement endorsing Missouri Democratic Senate candidate Claire McCaskill for supporting embryonic stem cell research, in which Fox was "moving all around and shaking," was "purely an act." Limbaugh then added that "this is really shameless of Michael J. Fox. Either he didn't take his medication or he's acting, one of the two." But while Limbaugh also stated on October 23 that "I will apologize to Michael J. Fox if I am wrong in characterizing his behavior on this commercial as an act," Limbaugh not only did not apologize, he defended his comments on his show the next day. Pointing to Fox's statement in his book, Lucky Man: A Memoir (Hyperion, April 2002), that he testified before Congress in 1999 "without medication," Limbaugh declared on his October 24 show that "all I said yesterday was: 'He's either acting or he's off his meds.' I was right. He was off his meds."

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

You're the racist liar for defending James who is also a racist liar.


Sorry, I can't hear that over the sound of you laughing at Parkinson's disease. Tee, hee.

[The Franchise]

Never said such, you stupid young shit.

Well, the problem is you stand up to defend the man with a lie about an apology that was never given. That tends to make people think you may feel the same way. :lmao

[Culburn369]

The same religion that makes fun of people with Parkinson's disease.

Oh, I get it, DUNCAN wants to have hands off for Parkinson's disease sufferers on the NBA Forum.

Rots of ruk.

[ChumpDumper]

You're the racist liar for defending James who is also a racist liar.I think he may be a bit paternalistic to unathletic white guys, but he is performing a service for them if his shoes help them in that regard.

[Culburn369]

Well, the problem is you stand up to defend the man with a lie about an apology that was never given. That tends to make people think you may feel the same way. :lmao

Of course the apology was given. I heard it.

[ChumpDumper]

Rots of ruk.Has that really been a widespread problem in the NBA forum?

[ChumpDumper]

Of course the apology was given. I heard it.But you're a liar. I proved it.

[Culburn369]

LeBron James is a racist scumbag and he's also a side door jumper in the playoffs.

You absolutely insensitive fuck! You worthless, jaded, cold, thoughtless piece of shit! You're entitled to your idiotic trolling and your tongue kissing Rush Limbaugh's butt-hole, but you have no idea the suffering that disease causes people and their family. If you do happen to have an understanding under all of your classless character posturing you created for NBA web forums, understand that Parkinson's is a touchey subject far too close to home for some. In short, shut your fucking mouth you goddamn clown, you have no right to make light of something so horrible. And it's the motherfucking NBA forum, for christ-sakes you asshole! Try the troll section, prick. Your whole act is paper thin.

Bell, nothing is sacred. Nothing. I don't want to hear one f'in peep about exceptions to the rule. There are no exceptions. I've been here since shortly after Kobe went sans Daddy and I've seen some vile & cruel tear downs with nary a voice of protest from anybody.

LeBron going racist with an innocuous comment like that was actually kinda funny.

Come on guy, I used to think you were somewhat funny. Now I see you as someone who's old and bored. The type that would be entertained by a boring radio show hack like Limbaugh.

What a terrible turn of events.

Fuck you! This is not about basketball, it is many many many people's lives. Just stop! You are wrong, Rush was wrong, so cut your cock-sucking losses and stop.

No way, Bell, I won't stop.

& Rush was wrong and he apologized. And I was angered that he did. First off Fox wasn't even born on this soil. Second that phony bastard purposely did not take his meds that day before testifying before Congress so he could exaggerate his condition. It was pure bullshit.

The disease does not just go away if a person with Parkinson's takes their meds (and I wish to all things holy that that was the case). It is a bandaid on a massive headwound at best, you horrid little troll. Obviously, what you actually know about the topic is pathetic, as is whatever kick it is that you are getting from defending an unconscionable stance on a disease you know nothing about. I know you won't stop, ignorance doesn't take a holiday.

[Culburn369]

Rush didn't apologize.

Yes, Rush did apologize. I heard him. And then I said out loud in the car: "wtf did you do that Rush?, gd it. That phony f'k wasn't even born in this country."

[ChumpDumper]

Yes, Rush did apologize. I heard him. And then I said out loud in the car: "wtf did you do that Rush?, gd it. That phony f'k wasn't even born in this country."He didn't apologize.

Bell, Fox purposely withheld his meds to aggravate his condition so his case would be stronger before the Congress. He ain't the only one that pulls that shit over there. Charlatans abound to get their handouts. Consciousless bastards, nothing more.

[Culburn369]

Poppycock. Rush apologized. I heard him.

Yes, Rush did apologize. I heard him. And then I said out loud in the car: "wtf did you do that Rush?, gd it. That phony f'k wasn't even born in this country."

What does him being born in this country have to do with showing compassion?

[Culburn369]

What does him being born in this country have to do with showing compassion?

How would they like if I went to Canada before their government body and lied about my physical condition? They'd be outraged and rightfully so.

[BlackBellamy]

As I stated before, the medication even at the highest level used to treat Parkinson's doesn't treat the disease progression, it masks some of the symptoms at very best and not usually even that. And the dementia that the medication causes is sometimes equal in tragedy to the disease itself. The fact that Fox did or did not take his meds for one day is utterly worthless, as Parkinson's is a degenerative disease. Actually, he was showing them the true horrors of living with the disease, if he did intentionally miss a dose. The health that one exhibits while on the cocktail of drugs used to treat the disease is the fraud if anything. It is not misleading, if it's your natural state. I mean, he didn't take a drug to make himself worse. If him not taking his drugs on purpose is even true. You are way out of line, regardless. That is all I wish to say on the subject.

[Culburn369]

Misrepresenting his condition is a lie, Franch. Don't be coy.

[The Franchise]

Are you showing compassion to the Afghan and Iraqi people?

Actually, I do feel compassion for the Iraqis because hundreds of thousands died over lies OUR leaders told. We should never have been there. The Innocent Afghans (don't know if that's correct) I feel for as well, but I do understand why we are in their country.

[The Franchise]

Misrepresenting his condition is a lie, Franch. Don't be coy.

But how did he do so?

[Culburn369]

"I mean, he didn't take a drug to make himself worse."

That's exactly what he did. It was a planned strategy. And the f'in Congress was in on it, cause it's theIR duty to take money from Franch and give it to DUNCAN. Dillinger tried that in the '30s and the F.B.I. put a stopper in that bottle tootsweet, eh?

Culburn - "knock, knock."

Franch - "who's there?"

Culburn - "It's me, Cubby, from the Board."

Franch - "what the fuck do you want?"

Culburn - "I got this clunker out here and I want you to give me $3500 for it."

Franch - "Get bent, fuckface."

Culburn - "Chow."

Man, I learn something new every day. :lol

[ChumpDumper]

Which drug did he take to make himself worse?

[The Franchise]

SO you know about that pipeline, and that Opium? Its all fucked up man, try not to let it get to you.

Exactly what point are you trying to make?

[Culburn369]

But how did he do so?

By not taking his prescribed meds and thus worsening his condition. Now, Franch, that wasn't to fool Congress. Those crooked f'ks were in on it. He purposely failed to take his meds so when the cameras hit him Americans would feel sorry and dole it out.

Culburn: "knock, knock."

Kori: "who's there."

Culburn: "it's me, Culburn, from the Forum who wrote you that sonnet."

Tim: "Make me turkey pot pie."
