Tell me if you\u2019ve seen this. &#8220;Teen Athletes with Concussions Should Not Do Homework, Study Says.&#8221; You missed that? That\u2019s why I\u2019m here. I dig deep, and I find this rotgut, stupid insanity, and I tell you what\u2019s going on out there. I\u2019m not making it up. &#8220;Teen Athletes with Concussions Should Not Do Homework, Study Says.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t these people know they\u2019re not doing homework anyway? Teen athletes are probably not doing homework. That\u2019s why I wrote Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims: Time-Travel Adventures with Exceptional Americans. Anyway, this story in the LA Times has been picked up by several Drive-By Media outlets. You know, we\u2019re laying the groundwork for everybody to claim they\u2019ve got a concussion.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Coach, I just got concussed out there. I don\u2019t think I can go back in the game. Coach, I got a concussion on Saturday night. I can\u2019t do any homework. Coach, I just got a concussion. I need a nurse.&#8221; &#8220;What\u2019s your mom\u2019s maiden name?&#8221; &#8220;I don\u2019t know, Coach, but bring me a nurse &#8212; a good-looking nurse.&#8221; From the LA Times article: &#8220;Teen athletes with concussions should skip their homework. It\u2019s true, researchers say.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_85580\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushDittoheadNationMapVers090614.jpg\"\/><BR\/>&#8220;Parents should have their concussed kids lay off high-level mental activity including homework and reading. But no video games or texting either!&#8221; Do you see how this stuff gets started? The left gets on to something, and they just don\u2019t let go of it, and they start ram-rodding it, expanding it to the point of absurdity. I got this e-mail. &#8220;Dear Rush: You know more than anybody I know. Could you explain something to me?<\/line><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Is it possible that in the <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=10512\">NFL players could be employing a strategy of hitting opponents and making it look like concussions<\/a> are happening which aren\u2019t happen in order to get their opponents taken out of the game?&#8221; You might think the question is absurd. Actually, it is happening, but here\u2019s how. It\u2019s the reverse of what you think. Players, ball carriers, pass receivers, running backs, when they get hit, will make sure it looks like they\u2019ve been hit in the head.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_85581\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Concussion1.jpg\"\/><BR\/>They\u2019ll throw their head back. They\u2019ll do something with their head to make it look like they\u2019ve just been creamed, even if they\u2019ve only been hit in the shoulder, trying to draw flag for an illegal hit. Now, that won\u2019t result in somebody being thrown out of the game, but it will result in a penalty &#8212; and it works, by the way.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>Because the NFL has the officials so focused on concussions and so focused on illegal hits to the head, that very smart offensive players, when they get hit above the waist, are making whiplash-like movements with their heads, to make it look like they\u2019ve been hit in the head, trying to draw a flag, and it has worked in many instance. I\u2019m happy to get that question. The players are inventive and creative.<\/p>\n<p>They haven\u2019t found a way to actually create a faux concussion to get somebody out of the game for suffering one.<\/p>\n<p>They have to do that for real.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Here is Kara in Ponte Vedra, Florida. She\u2019s 17 years old. Great to have you on the program. Hi.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hi, Rush. Thanks for having me on.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You bet. My pleasure.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: So I heard you talking about the concussions and the study on this whole thing in California &#8212; or it was in LA Times &#8212; about high school athletes being discouraged from doing, like, homework \u2019cause they have concussions and whatnot. Well, I\u2019m a high school athlete. I play lacrosse, and I &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Wait, wait. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Did you say that you play lacrosse?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I do.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: So that means your parents are rich Wall Street types from the Northeast?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Not quite.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Is that not right?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: No. No. But my mom actually does work in neurosurgery at Mayo Clinic, so I hear a lot about brain injuries and things like that.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Have you had a concussion before?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I\u2019ve actually had two.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: (Gasp!)<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I\u2019ve never gotten one playing a sport, but I have had two, and I will say they\u2019re very, um, (garbled).<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Wait a second. You\u2019ve not had a concussion playing lacrosse, but you have had two concussions?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes. (giggles)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: How did you get them?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, one I got ice skating and the other one I got surfing. So, yeah.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You hit your head on the surfboard?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah. (giggles) Yeah, like it hit the bottom of the like surface and then it came back and hit me in the head.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Wow.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Did it knock you unconscious?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Almost. (giggles) Yeah. But I was fine. I mean, it definitely&#8230; I mean, and some concussions are worse than others. I mean, I have a friend that got a really bad concussion last season, and it\u2019s different when you\u2019re in school than when you, like, receive one outside of school, \u2019cause for school, any contact sport, they require you to do a concussion test before you start the season. It\u2019s absolutely mandatory.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_85583\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lax_large.jpg\"\/><BR\/>RUSH: Yeah. Concussion protocol. So give me an example. What kind of questions are on that test?<\/line><\/p>\n<p>CALLER: It\u2019s kind of like a neurological-type of test. What they do is they put you in front of a computer. It\u2019s about 30 minutes long, and I\u2019ve taken two of them, and they\u2019re not too difficult if you don\u2019t have a concussion. I mean, they\u2019re made so you can pass it. It\u2019s a lot of memory tests. It\u2019ll list, like, a series of like pictures, shapes, words, and then you have to recognize, like, what was part of that list or what wasn\u2019t part of that list.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah, it\u2019s not an intelligence test. It\u2019s just to check how your brain is working after you\u2019ve had a concussion.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: So you take this baseline test.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Exactly.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: And what\u2019s happening in the NFL, a lot of players, however they\u2019re doing it, are dumbing down the baseline test, meaning it\u2019s easier to pass it after they\u2019ve had a concussion to get back on the field.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Mm-hmm. Well, the way that our tests are set up, it\u2019s, like, impossible to pass it if you had a concussion, \u2019cause they know that kids&#8230; I mean, kids are not slackers. Like, if they\u2019re playing a high school sport, they\u2019re pretty devoted to their sport. So they want to make it really difficult and pretty much impossible for kids that do have concussions in order for them to not to go back on the field. I mean, other kids that might want to slack off and be like, &#8220;Oh, yeah, I have a concussion. I can\u2019t do my homework.&#8221; There probably are some. But that means if they can\u2019t do their homework, they certainly can\u2019t get back on the field.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: So they\u2019re going to be extremely motivated to recover as fast as possible in order for them to play. I mean, maybe they don\u2019t care about their homework, but they definitely care about playing.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: But there\u2019s nothing you can do to recover quicker than normal from a concussion, right? I mean, there\u2019s nothing you can do.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, that\u2019s kind of where there\u2019s a lot of gray area, because there are a lot of studies that have been coming out recently like the one about not doing your homework. Yes, maybe not doing your homework, but that also applies to, like, basically staying in the dark. You\u2019re not watching TV.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Right. No Beyonce, no Jay-Z, no P Diddy.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: No.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Maybe some Timberlake, but nothing beyond that.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah, exactly. I mean, very low-key.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Justin Bieber might be okay, but you\u2019re going&#8230; Yeah, yeah.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah. Yeah. No One Direction or anything like that.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah. I mean, I think they\u2019re starting to realize how serious concussions are because what a lot of kids do &#8212; and especially before they had the baseline testing &#8212; is they would get out on the field a lot quicker than they were supposed to because they\u2019re saying, &#8220;Oh, yeah, I feel better! I don\u2019t have a headache anymore,&#8221; and then they would get hit again, and your risk of getting a second concussion is much higher, and the symptoms are much worse and they can actually progress significantly beyond what a normal concussion would give you. I mean, it can be almost impossible to recover from. I think the NFL thing is kind of dumb because any kind of like second concussive syndrome has been like disproven. Once you\u2019re like over a certain age. But in teenagers it\u2019s extremely, extremely risky to get back on the field.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, you know, by definition, in the NFL, you could make the case, I would think, that a concussion is happening on every play just on the interior line.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Mmm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I mean, those guys are banging the helmets. It depends on, you know, how lax or how strict you want to be in defining what a concussion is. Kara, just so you know: My point here is that a concussion is a medical thing. It is a real thing. It\u2019s a medical thing. It\u2019s defined in specific ways, and it\u2019s treated in specific ways, and it\u2019s now become political. Because the left has gotten hold of it, the concussion is becoming a political thing.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s being attached to a political agenda of leftist activists who are trying to effect change in areas of life they think are unsafe and people are being exploited and so forth, and that\u2019s the danger. So a lot of things that are not concussions are now being labeled could be, might be. &#8220;We gotta err on the side of safety,&#8221; and this kind of thing, and it\u2019s not about safety with these people. It\u2019s about control and dominating things.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s, I think, getting a little bit out of hand with the left. Leave it in the hands of the medical people, fine. But keep them insulated from the political people, and it\u2019s very difficult to do that when you got the media involved in it. Now, let me ask you. You\u2019ve had two concussions, Kara. I mean, you sound extremely bright. Obviously you are. You\u2019re very cogent, so you\u2019ve obviously recovered from yours. Do you fear future concussions? Is it affecting the way you live your life?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Not in any way.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Good.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Like, I mean, I\u2019ve seen it happen to people, but there are certain things that, you know, you can do to be careful. But if you\u2019re an athlete and you\u2019re playing a contact sport, I mean, there\u2019s always a risk involved. But, I mean, it\u2019s something that you\u2019ve chosen to do. So, I mean, no one\u2019s forcing you to play a contact sport, like lacrosse.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, that\u2019s just it. Just be upfront with it. I don\u2019t want to be an alarmist here. In fact, I\u2019m not the alarmist. But I\u2019m telling you, there are people out there, Kara, who are trying to take the risk out of everything, and in the process they are impeding opportunity. There\u2019s risk in everything. You\u2019re taking a risk. You\u2019ve already had two concussions, and you\u2019ve mentioned successive concussions, particularly if they happen close together, are problematic.<\/p>\n<p>There are people, give \u2019em half a chance, who will sit you down and they\u2019ll tell you you\u2019re too at risk, shouldn\u2019t be allowed to play, blah, blah, blah, blah &#8212; and they\u2019ll be doing it for your own good. You\u2019re gonna run into this throughout your life, as long as you continue to play competitive contact sports, and it\u2019s even gonna expand beyond that. That\u2019s the problem with all this. But, look, I\u2019m really glad you called. I appreciate it and I wish you all the best. What do you want to do? Do you want to keep playing lacrosse in college?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah, I think so. I really enjoy it.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You know, Duke has a good team.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: They do. They have a very good team. Yep. I don\u2019t know. I\u2019m thinking about maybe the University of Florida. So we\u2019ll see.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, all the best to you. I\u2019m really glad that you called.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Thank you so much.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: It\u2019s great to have you out there.
