\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Starting in Charleston, South Carolina. This is Charity, and it\u2019s great to have you here. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi. How are you?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, I\u2019m fine. Thanks very much.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I just have a question about the football players that are suing about concussions. That\u2019s their job. They get paid for that, right?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Ah. They didn\u2019t know.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well —<\/p>\n

RUSH: The league was not up front and honest with them of the potential dangers involved from concussions as a result of playing football.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I\u2019ve had plenty of concussions at my job, and you can trust me when I say that nobody warned me about the dangers of concussions before I got hired.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What did you do in your job that caused you to get concussions?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I gallop racehorses, and I work at a training center. We break babies and gallop horses.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, wow. So you\u2019ve had concussions dealing with horses. You\u2019ve probably fallen, you\u2019ve been kicked, that kind of thing?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, exactly. Exactly. When you\u2019re breaking babies, it\u2019s pretty much a given.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Well look, things that need to happen… If I even go there, I\u2019m gonna get creamed and I would have to recount the history of the concussion lawsuit in the NFL<\/a>, and that would make people mad. You don\u2019t have an organization… Have you had anybody commit suicide that works in your business because of a concussion?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Suicide, yeah. What about Chris Antley?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Uh —<\/p>\n

CALLER: There have been plenty of people. Plenty of people.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, then, you need organize, and you need to go get some trial lawyers, and you need to go to the media and claim that your employers never told you about any of this.<\/p>\n

CALLER: There you go. That\u2019s what we should do, because there\u2019s no such thing as common sense.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Everybody knows that horse owners are filthy rich. You see \u2019em. They drink mint juleps at the Kentucky Derby while you\u2019re drinking, what, beer down in the paddock.<\/p>\n

CALLER: We break horses for plenty of football players. They should be sympathetic to our cause for sure.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I think because of the —<\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughing)<\/p>\n

RUSH: The point that you\u2019re making is, “Look, there are a lot of people getting hurt. Why are they suing?” That\u2019s because there\u2019s a big pile of money there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
