AMEN! ESPN knew what it was doing......
Link here:
"Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie today accused ESPN of 'institutional racism' for its decision to hire Rush Limbaugh and for the portrayal of NFL players in the fictional series 'Playmakers.'
ESPN had tarnished its image of being one of the most respected media outlets for NFL coverage for the sake of ratings, Lurie said. The hiring of Limbaugh and the show are examples of 'racist potshots' toward the league, he said.
'Some of the events of this week are built with institutional racism,' Lurie said. 'It exists. Let's not hide it. Let's not make us believe the problem is a single person. It's far from that.' "
Bet this does not get repeated much on the national "mainstream" news.......but gets at the real issue.
