Also, Mr Worf, allow me to add the Moment of Infamy for one H Cosell, sportscaster, during a MNF game when the Redskins' Alvin Gentry caught a pass and, as he did some nimble dancing between would-be tacklers, Cosell utters the immortal (unfortunately) words, "Look at that little monkey go!" (Apologies for any offense made.)
There was a fork in his career as well after that. "If all the world's a stage and all the people merely players, who in bloody hell hired the director?" -- Charles L Grant http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQUxw9aUVik To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com From: hellomahog...@gmail.com Date: Sun, 11 Oct 2009 18:21:31 -0700 Subject: Re: [scifinoir2] African American Football players say they won't work for Rush When you are in the moment and not expecting things some people wait for a reaction from the audience before gaining the courage to say anything. Just another WTF??? moment... Remember the Jimmy the Greek incident? One of the most famous quotes on tv "The black is a better athlete to begin with because he's been bred to be that way — because of his high thighs and big thighs that goes up into his back, and they can jump higher and run faster because of their bigger thighs. This goes back all the way to the Civil War when during the slave trading, the owner — the slave owner would breed his big black to his big woman so that he could have a big black kid." After that remark his career was pretty much over. On Sun, Oct 11, 2009 at 6:09 PM, Keith Johnson <keithbjohn...@comcast.net> wrote: Yeah, but I'm talking about what happened *on* camera. They just sat there and looked at him. Now, granted, they were taken off guard, but guys who can run their mouths all the time to critique athletes and coaches and stuff, I expect to be able to come back quickly. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mr. Worf" <hellomahog...@gmail.com> To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, October 11, 2009 8:09:25 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: Re: [scifinoir2] African American Football players say they won't work for Rush We don't know what happened off camera. The director of the show may have cut their mic or it was edited out completely. That is the danger of tv production. You can alter reality to how you see fit.

And what did he do? Within a short time, claimed the media was being soft on Donovan McNabb just because he was black. I was so pissed at that I almost threw something at the television. To this day i'm not at all clear why they did that. I was also upset that the blacks on the show that day didn't argue with him: they can spend all their time yelling about who was the greatest player in their day, but let that racist rant on like that. At any rate, this is horrible. Of course, as is always the way with this, the mainstream will turn it on us and say "so now you want to judge people like this" and they'll find some black person who's a member of the NAACP or something, and try to block him from owning a team with whites on it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mr. Worf" <hellomahog...@gmail.com> To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, October 11, 2009 6:05:32 AM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: [scifinoir2] African American Football players say they won't work for Rush I couldn't pass this story up. Rush Limbaugh wants to buy the St. Louis Rams, black players say they would boycott the team. I don't blame them at all. http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-random11-2009oct11,0,6499393.story -- Bringing diversity to perversity for over 9 years!
