'The country needs more people to speak up and refuse to tolerate any racism, including when the victim is white. The country needs more people with the courage of J.J. Redick,' CWTremo writes.
Twenty years ago, during the 2003 NFL season, conservative talk show icon Rush Limbaugh briefly worked for ESPN on Sunday NFL Countdown. During one segment, Limbaugh commented on then-Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb and claimed McNabb wasn't that good a quarterback. He claimed the hype around him was not because of his performance but because of a liberal media's desire for a black quarterback to be successful.
“When it comes down to guys winning MVP since 1990, it’s only three guys that won the MVP that wasn’t top 10 in scoring…Steve Nash, Jokic and Dirk Nowitzki. What do those guys have in common?”Perkins's claim is essentially the flip side of Limbaugh's comments from 20 years ago, albeit a different sport. Shockingly , Perkins didn't lose his job. It's indicative of ESPN's hypocrisy and racial double standards.
"I did not. I did not. I did not," Perkins shouted while talking over Redick."I stated the facts! I stated the facts."But he didn't state any facts. Perkins only gave his opinion that racism had cost someone else the MVP award.
