Mike Pereira, who is a former head of the officials in the NFL, now at Fox, &#8220;They don\u2019t need a new rule.  They\u2019ve already got one.  There\u2019s a point of emphasis in the league that that kind of language is not tolerated, and it already is subject to penalty.  Don\u2019t need a new rule.&#8221;  Here we go to the Fritz Pollard Alliance.  This was this morning on ESPN Radio.  John Wooten, who\u2019s chairman of the Fritz Pollard Alliance, was asked, &#8220;What would we hope be gained and what purpose served by this penalty in the NFL?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>WOOTEN:  What you\u2019re trying to do is to bring back an element of respect of what\u2019s going on in the great game that we have in the National Football League. And that\u2019s totally deteriorated. What really prompted us to make the move was the incident there at the Redskins-Eagles game. You got to make players respect each other and if they\u2019re not going to do it on their own, then you got to put rules into effect.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Now, I\u2019ve been wracking my brain, and I haven\u2019t gone back to the Web to look.  I don\u2019t know what happened at the Redskins-Eagles game, but I know that the Eagles, a wide receiver named Riley Cooper, who was agitated I think at a concert, not during a game, started calling people the N-word left and right, but I don\u2019t recall what happened in the game between the Redskins and Eagles.  Anyway, that\u2019s not the point.  The point is that Mr. Wooten wants to clean up the NFL.  It\u2019s totally deteriorated and what\u2019s not stated here is he\u2019s not happy with the current culture. <\/p>\n<p>He doesn\u2019t like the N-word. He doesn\u2019t like &#8212; I don\u2019t want to put words in his mouth.  But you know what he means.  He thinks that the current culture in the NFL lacks respect for the game and for the people who play it.  You heard him say it, gotta make players respect each other, and if they\u2019re not gonna do it on their own, you gotta put rules into effect.  And then he went further.  And this is where he talks about we need to return to the way it was long ago.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_87709\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Wooten_large.jpg\"\/><BR\/>WOOTEN:  I played in this league back when the racial segregation and turmoil was at its height in the fifties and sixties.  I played for the Cleveland Browns.  And the thing that Paul Brown did each and every year was say very simply, &#8220;We don\u2019t have any black Browns, we don\u2019t have any white Browns; we have Cleveland Browns.&#8221;  That\u2019s what you gotta make players understand today, that if they are gonna use this N-word, which is the worst, horrible, ugliest word in the history of vocabulary in this country, then you gotta make them responsible for their actions.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  &#8220;I played in this league back when racial segregation and turmoil was at its height in the fifties and sixties, and I played for the Browns, and even then the coach, Paul Brown, said there weren\u2019t white Browns and brown Browns and black Browns; there are Cleveland Browns.&#8221;  So here is a guy who wants to turn the clock back to the good old fifties and sixties, back when morality was decent and back when people respected each other, and back when there was a sense of decency, guardrails, and there was a sense of morality. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_87692\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/NFLYellowFlag.jpg\"\/><BR\/>Now, of course in the modern American left, that is antiquated, that\u2019s old-fashioned, that\u2019s not modern, that\u2019s not progressive.  You can\u2019t go back to Leave It To Beaver. You can\u2019t go back to the Donna Reed Show. You can\u2019t go back to the Nelson family.  That was never real anyway.  That was just a bunch of white PR.  We can\u2019t go back to that.  We must have it wide open. People can do whatever they want, say whatever they want, no guardrails.  Anything you want to do is fine, that\u2019s progressive, that\u2019s modernism.  Now, normally when you have somebody want to go back to the 50\u2019s, they get tarred and feathered.  Mr. Wooten was not finished, however.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>WOOTEN:  On the field of play, in the locker room, in the cafeteria, wherever it has to do with NFL facilities, the N-word cannot and should not be used.  You look at a lot of our young people, black and white, they have no idea what the word really is about.  I don\u2019t want anybody telling me that they desensitized it.  How can that word ever be a word of endearment?  And these are the kind of things that you\u2019ve gotta make players and our young people understand.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Ryan Clark of the Steelers over the weekend and yesterday on ESPN\u2019s Outside the Lines, the N-word, said young guys are not gonna stop using it.  It\u2019s just their culture.  It\u2019s how they were raised.  And Mr. Wooten here says, &#8220;I don\u2019t care, that word can never be a term of endearment,&#8221; but it is.  Is it not, within certain&#8230; to some people it\u2019s, I won\u2019t go so far as say it\u2019s a compliment, but it\u2019s a term of endearment.  &#8220;Hey, bro. Hey, what up, bro.&#8221;  It\u2019s used in that way, and his point is that the young black kids today hearing this term, learning it, don\u2019t really know its roots, don\u2019t really know what it is.  And I\u2019m sure &#8212; he didn\u2019t say this &#8212; I\u2019m sure what bothers him is that it\u2019s horrible and reprehensible and intolerable for some people to use it, but for others it\u2019s perfectly fine. For somebody in his generation it\u2019s never good, it\u2019s never fine, and it never will be. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_87706\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Wilbon.jpg\"\/><BR\/>Michael Wilbon from ESPN\u2019s &#8220;Pardon the Interruption: the N-word,&#8221; this is during mail time last night during the show. They read a letter.  Kornheiser:  &#8220;Should the NFL hand out a 15-yard penalty for using the N-word on the field?&#8221;  Here\u2019s Wilbon again.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>WILBON:  You gonna have a league with no black owners and a white commissioner, so middle-age and advanced age white men say to black players mostly, because that\u2019s who we\u2019re talking about, you can\u2019t use the N-word on the field of play or we\u2019re gonna penalize you.  I got a massive problem with that.  I don\u2019t think it\u2019s gonna happen. I know there are black men of the same age, John Wooten being one of them, who say, no, you have to take this word out of the workplace.  I understand that.  But I don\u2019t want it enforced like this.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Okay, fascinating.  John Wooten, black man, played in the fifties and sixties, the Cleveland Browns, doesn\u2019t want the word used.  Wilbon understands that, but he doesn\u2019t want the white power structure of the NFL behind the penalty.  He doesn\u2019t want that white commissioner, and he doesn\u2019t want the white owners doing it.  But they\u2019re not.  They haven\u2019t said diddly-squat other than to agree with Wooten.  Wooten is the guy, the Fritz Pollard Alliance got this all going. <\/p>\n<p>It is a black organization that\u2019s trying to rid the NFL of this word being used.  But Wooten can\u2019t do it on his own, so he needs the NFL to help out with a rules change on the penalties, and the NFL power structure happens to be a bunch of white guys, and while Wilbon understands it, &#8220;Hey, I understand John Wooten, have to take the word out of the workplace, I understand that, but I don\u2019t want it enforced like this.&#8221; A 15-yard penalty instituted by the white liberal plantation owners that run the NFL.  That\u2019s what Wilbon is saying. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  One more Michael Wilbon.  This, again, from &#8220;Pardon the Interruption: The N-word&#8221; on ESPN.  Wilbon continued, after saying that he understands John Wooten, who\u2019s a black guy, doesn\u2019t want the N-word used. But Wilbon, he doesn\u2019t want it enforced with a bunch of white guys being the authority, and then he continued.<\/p>\n<p>WILBON:  It is NOT defaming in the context in which I and many others use it every day.  Just language!  Just talk!  I\u2019m not a the child of hip-hop.  I use it every day, with somebody else who uses it, and I understand people who don\u2019t want to use it.  I respect that.  This is difficult.  This is complicated, and the NFL, which won\u2019t even stand up&#8230; Roger Goodell doesn\u2019t have the guts to stand up and say, &#8220;Redskin&#8230; Redskin is an offensive name,&#8221; so he wants to take (bleep)-er out of play, but he won\u2019t take Redskin out of play?  How gutless is that?  What kind of signal are you sending?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  You know, I\u2019m sorry, I can\u2019t keep up.  Here\u2019s a guy who wants to use the N-word, wants to reserve for himself the right to use it with his buddies who also use it in ways that they all agree, &#8220;It\u2019s just language. It\u2019s not offensive.&#8221; He\u2019s not a child of hip hop, by the way. He wants everybody to know that. (paraphrased) &#8220;But don\u2019t ever, ever let me hear you say Redskins!  Don\u2019t you ever say that word to me!&#8221; While he\u2019s out using the N-word with&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>(interruption)<\/p>\n<p>What? <\/p>\n<p>(interruption)<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. <\/p>\n<p>(interruption)<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_87699\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaRedskins.jpg\"\/><BR\/>Well, but he\u2019s saying he does not want to hear Redskins. &#8220;How can they take the N-word out when they won\u2019t take Redskins out?&#8221; That\u2019s what he\u2019s saying. He thinks that they\u2019re being discriminated against.  Again, go up and grab sound bite number seven, Mike Pereira.  This is the NFL official.  He\u2019s on Fox Sports now.  He\u2019s the rules analyst.  He\u2019s a former head honcho of the officials.  He was their bus boss.  He handed out the grades.  He appeared on Fox Sports One\u2019s &#8220;Fox Football Daily: The N-word,&#8221; and the host of the show said, &#8220;Doesn\u2019t the NFL already have some language in place to penalize players for abusive language?&#8221;<\/line><\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_87708\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pereira.jpg\"\/><BR\/>PEREIRA:  If you look at Rule 12 now, it has in there that any &#8220;threatening or insulting language or gestures to opponents, officials, teammates,&#8221; it is subject to a 15-yard penalty.&#8221;  So the rule\u2019s there.  I don\u2019t think we\u2019ll see a rule change coming specifically, but I do think you will see a point of emphasis coming from this, that the officials, it will be put upon them to really flag any racial slur. Anything that they hear that\u2019s a racial slur, period, will draw a 15-yard penalty.  It\u2019s not, to me, a matter of, &#8220;Can they legislate it?&#8221; With all that\u2019s happened lately, they will legislate it.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Now, let me just reiterate something here, folks, \u2019cause yesterday I revised a prediction that I had made and I want to remind you of it.  I have been predicting for a while that the <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=10065\">purpose of the left here was to actually destroy NFL football<\/a> and college football, and I thought the focus on concussions and injuries and suicide and Alzheimer\u2019s and Parkinson\u2019s and barbarism and maiming was that.<\/p>\n<p>Then I saw these two sportswriters apologizing for popularizing the game that maims people and destroys them and is nothing but barbaric. I thought it was all leading to ultimately the demand that the game end because it\u2019s just not something that decent liberals could support or watch, that it just too brutal. It\u2019s just, &#8220;Ewww!&#8221; and we shouldn\u2019t be cheering it, and we shouldn\u2019t be applauding lifetime injuries &#8212; and I\u2019m taking that back.  I now do not think that that\u2019s the objective. <\/p>\n<p>Instead, ladies and gentlemen, the left has seen the success they\u2019ve had taking over movies, the music industry, the television industry, and they\u2019ve targeted the NFL as their next industry to take over and popularize and use for the purposes of promoting and propagandizing liberalism.  They look at the NFL; they see it is the most popular activity in America.  It is the most popular spectator sport, certainly.  It is the sport that is the wealthiest.  It has the most money; it makes the most money.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s the most money in it flowing in and around all the various partners involved.  It gets the highest TV ratings when it is on in prime time of anything else on TV. So rather than stamp it out, they want to take over, and they\u2019ve already done this.  The month of October is now totally pink in the NFL, for example. It\u2019s breast cancer awareness.  But all of this focus on the barbarism and maiming and suicide is all to promote liberalism and what it supposedly represents to people. <\/p>\n<p>(interruption)<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_87685\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/NFLLiberalism.jpg\"\/><BR\/>Yeah, &#8220;health care reform&#8221; is not about health care.  Health care reform is about controlling people.  Well, commandeering or conquering the NFL is about taking something very popular and making it a liberal entity so as to use it as a weapon in popular culture to liberalize and make &#8220;progressive&#8221; as much of the viewing public of the NFL as they can. <\/line><\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_87712\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/JayzRusselWilson_large.jpg\"\/><BR\/>It\u2019s the next Hollywood for liberal domination, and they\u2019re gonna try to make it just as hip as the music industry is.  Speaking of which, look at what Jay-Z is doing.  Jay-Z is now all over the NFL.  He is a licensed agent for the NBA and Major League Baseball.  Take a look at something else.  Every time an NBA game is on in New York or LA, you see big entertainment stars for music, TV, and movies &#8212; and, increasingly, politicians are showing up.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>Bill Clinton. Obama has wormed his way into sports big time with his bracket selection.  You can\u2019t watch a Super Bowl or a Sunday night game without getting socked with politics from either Bob Costas or an interview with Obama.  I mean, there\u2019s no mistaking it. There\u2019s no doubt what\u2019s happening here.  There is a liberal encroachment on the game.  It\u2019s subtle, and it\u2019s just to make the game and the whole enterprise appear to be part of the progressive movement &#8212; and it\u2019s got it all. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s got young athletes, sex appeal, huge television exposure, marketing exposure, turning the players into the same kind of celebrities that hip-hop artists are, the same kind of celebrities that other TV stars are. Young demographics are watching, huge opportunities to influence votes.  The Regime co-opted a couple of teams to promote Obamacare, the Baltimore Ravens being one of them.  You know, liberals own big entertainment, and a lot of them own NFL teams.  Jeffrey Lurie of the Eagles is a super progressive.  There are a number of them.  Steve Tisch, New York Giants. <\/p>\n<p>So I don\u2019t think they\u2019re gonna try stamp it out.  I think instead they are going to attempt basically to take it over and to make what happens in football as naturally progressive and liberal as what happens in movies or on television shows.  And the people who become stars in the NFL are gonna show up on TV and they\u2019re gonna have the same &#8212; As evidence of this, look at, out of nowhere, the big push for the acceptance of gay marriage in the NFL, by two players who were immediately embraced.<\/p>\n<p>Neither of them were big stars at the time, but they were embraced and they were given all kinds of coverage and airtime.  Chris Kluwe and Brendon Ayanbadejo &#8212; getting his last name wrong.  Linebacker for the Ravens.  And now there\u2019s, of course, Michael Sam, first announced gay to enter the NFL draft.  So it\u2019s clear it\u2019s happening.  They don\u2019t want to stamp out the NFL.  They don\u2019t want to eliminate it.  They want to conquer it.  That\u2019s what\u2019s in the process of happening.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  I might also point out the National Football League has joined in the bullying of the governor of Arizona.  The NFL is warning Arizona that you will lose the 2015 Super Bowl if you don\u2019t veto this same sex bill, whatever it is.  Religious freedom bill, right.  Well, that\u2019s what some people call it.  The NFL is tax-exempt.  It gives the government a lot of power over them, and therefore the NFL will find it necessary to kowtow and curry favor with the government.  And in this case the government is Obama. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: As you know, the NFL came out the other day, the Fritz Pollard Alliance, they want to penalize the use of the N-word, 15 yards the first offense, then you get kicked out of the game the second time you use it.
