Kansas City Star and Fox Sports columnist and noted fitness expert and master gardener Jason Whitlock apologized to Rush Limbaugh for last week's column in which he used a couple of unsourced quotes attributed to Limbaugh by Jack Huberman in his book 101 People Who Are Really Screwing America. These two to be exact:
"Let's face it, we didn't have slavery in this country for over 100
years because it was a bad thing. Quite the opposite: Slavery built the
South. I'm not saying we should bring it back. I'm just saying it had
its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark."
What really irritates me about my column last week is that I certainly didn't need the quotes to make my point.He's right. Even though he apologized, Whitlock didn't back down from his stand that a man with Limbaugh's cache -- a man with the reputation of a little-blue-pill-popping sex tourist -- doesn't belong among the NFL's owners.
Solid point. Now can we get back to writing about "strange tang," already? Steve Phillips' sex scandal is calling your name, Whitlock.I'd write the exact same column if [Al] Sharpton and [Jesse] Jackson tried to buy a piece of the Chicago Bears.
It doesn't matter that many of the owners enjoy Limbaugh's hustle or agree with his politics. They earned or inherited their money legitimately, and they don't spend three hours a day on the radio trying to stir up racial animosity.
If that's not clear enough, think of it this way: Steve Hirsch, the founder of Vivid Entertainment, is wealthy enough to buy a piece of an NFL franchise. Porn is legal, enjoyed by many football fans and probably a few owners. No one would think twice if the NFL declined to associate its brand with Hirsch. No one would think it unusual or unfair if feminists and sportswriters objected to Hirsch purchasing an NFL franchise.

"jizzon fatlock" is such a juvenile, stupid, unfunny insutl that this justthefacts actually has me siding with Whitlock, who is a writer I really can't stand. Congratulations.
Notice the photo is of Jayson with strippers......he has to pay for his company....
Who cares what Jizzon Fatlock has to say. He's as irrelevant as a Kansas City Star columnist can be....can you hear the clock ticking on your career Jizzon?
JW and the Rush thing is a scream. They are twins. Both use outrageous statements to get attention. Think about it. It is 100% true.
You might remember the car dealer who made International new for his promotion giving away AK47s with the purchase of a Truck.
He�s back in the news again and this time it doesn�t involve guns, but there�s definitely a political statement being made.
This same car guy is now protesting against the NFL because of the whole Rush Limbaugh/St. Louis Rams ordeal.
Saw this on CNSNews. You can find more information on the story there.
