The key Rush quote.

Posted by Will Hunting (aka JoeMetz) Oct 15 '09, 11:08

"The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well. There is little hope invested in [Donovan] McNabb, and he got a lot of credit for the performance of this team that he didn't deserve."

interjecting race into something while undercutting one of the more successful players/marketers in the league.....yeah, that's the killer quote.

I thought his point was bemoaning that race was a factor in the coverage. - Dan Rather Oct 15, 11:15 4
- he was the first guy to bring race into it. no one was going around saying "Boy, we need a black QB to be a star, let's promote this guy!" - Reagen Oct 15, 11:19
- but it wasn't, sports is the great arena of equality, everything is exposed on the field...and McNabb is very good -- nm - crash davis Oct 15, 11:18
- He was wrong. McNabb was covered cuz he was leading his team annually to the semi-finals of the league. - Will Hunting Oct 15, 11:18

seriously, that's game, set and match for me. -- nm - Reagen Oct 15, 11:09 3
- I'll agree. It was racially insensitive at the least, demeaned McNabb and made me question his knowledge of the game. -- nm - crash davis Oct 15, 11:14 2
  - McNabb with all the Chunky Soup stuff probably had as large a national media profile as anyone not named Peyton...don't mess with the guy making the - Will Hunting Oct 15, 11:16
  - "Hold on, Rush, Ima let you finish, but Donovan McNabb is the greatest QB ever. EVER!" -- nm - Kanye West Oct 15, 11:15
