In late September, 2003, Rush Limbaugh said this about the media’s treatment of Philadelphia Eagles QB Donovan McNabb:
"I think what we've had here is a little social concern in the NFL. The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well. They're interested in black coaches and black quarterbacks doing well ... McNabb got a lot of the credit for the performance of the team that he really didn't deserve.''
The comments got Limbaugh bounced from his role as an analyst on ESPN. Some pundits, swallowed up by the double standard that exists for conservatives, pulled out their customary ace, the race card, calling Limbaugh a racist. Seems that term could be said about McNabb, and I’ll throw in the adjective, “stupid” as well.
McNabb, like many professional athletes, has openly expressed his jubilation about Barack Obama’s victory. The Philly QB, it turns out, had never voted in any election until this month when he, being a registered voter for the first time in his life, voted for Obama. McNabb will turn 32 years old later this month, and he has never registered or voted in his life, that is, until a black man had a shot at the White House.
NJ.com, a New Jersey news site called McNabb’s announcement, “a stunning admission from a man of influence with a history of civic responsibility.”
This shouldn’t be taken lightly. Many blacks and whites fought long and hard for the black vote, and McNabb never considered this right and privilege important enough, until skin color was a factor.
I call that racist. I also call it far less than intelligent. But that should come as no surprise. McNabb isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer.
Every year, the NFL issues an IQ test to high college draft choices expected to play in the league. It’s called the Wonderlic. It’s a 50-point exam with the average score being 19. Quarterbacks average in the mid-20’s. Difficult it ain’t.
Donovan “I never voted until Obama” McNabb scored a 14. To avoid embarrassment, he should never go on this TV show.
The Absurd Report writes:
“How about this for a complete racist and asinine statement from Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb. Good ol’ Donovan said that this election was the FIRST time he had ever voted and the only reason he did vote was due to the fact that a ‘Black Man’ was running and had a chance to win. What if some white athlete had made a statement regarding not wanting Barack Hussein Obama to be elected because he was black. Reckon the media would have made a little something over that?”
Yep, I reckon. And if you criticize the genius McNabb, YOU’RE the racist.
McNabb sure didn’t do himself any favors, except with guilty white liberals.
So, McNabb makes a racist comment. He’s not very bright. And Rush Limbaugh was right; the guy’s overrated. Hell, he couldn’t even beat Cincinnati today.
Care to take a sample test that McNabb only scored a 14? Here it is.
