Amen, agreed. It is *never* a good thing in the long run to have bigots in charge of our destiny.

That quote was from a white announcer that I heard make that quote back in the day. A lot of rich bigots gave to charity but it was probably more of a tax write off than generosity.

A physical blob himself, Rush secretly adores extraordinary physical specimens - and, like most racists he harbors a grudging respect for supremely gifted black people - plus he LOVES football. Marge Schott, the former owner of the Cincinnati Reds was a conservative troglodyte (and self-avowed Adolf Hitler sympathizer) but her players adored her. She doted on them like a fraternity house mother. And, for the most part, she was a good if frugal owner. Fans praised her efforts to keep ticket and concession prices low. She loved children (she was unable to have any of her own) and always allowed any child in attendance before a home game to come down to the playing field and run to deep center field and back. "I think people are remembered for the good things they do when they're gone," Reds shortstop Barry Larkin said. "Now that she's gone, they will remember the parties she had to raise money for kids, her involvement with the zoo, her giving to minority programs. She gave to minority programs before her racist comments came out." I, personally, think Fat Rush would be a Mark Cuban type of owner - lavishing luxuries on his overpaid athletic employees - while continuing to spew his racist blather on the radio. And why shouldn't a shameless rodeo clown follow a gold digging showgirl as owner of the St. Louis Rams. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your point of view), Rush would inevitably say something stupid that would get him banned (in the way Schott was banned from running her own team from 1996 through 1998 - she sold the team for a $54 million profit in 1999) from the NFL - which is why his bid may not be approved. ~rave! --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com , "Mr. Worf" <hellomahog...@...> wrote: > > Remember that woman that used to own the Reds back in the late 80s early > 90s?
