RUSH: The Washington Redskins are getting ready to change their name. Dan Snyder said they would never, ever, do it. The owner of the team. But now he\u2019s got pressure from sponsors, his partners. Now there\u2019s talk that Snyder may say, “You know what, the hell with this, I\u2019m just gonna sell the whole thing, just sell the team and come up with a name that\u2019s close enough to what it is now,” that they wouldn\u2019t have to change their uniforms \u2019cause they don\u2019t have time to change the uniforms. They don\u2019t have time to change all the licensed merchandise. They\u2019d have to do something about the logo on the helmet.<\/p>\n

\"\"They\u2019re being pressured by Nike. Nike has pulled Washington Redskins gear from their store. Then the Cleveland Indians are thinking about changing the name of their team because of all of this. And after all this happens, do you think people are gonna be happy? They won\u2019t be. This isn\u2019t gonna solve anything. It\u2019s not gonna make Colin Kaepernick happy. It\u2019s not gonna stop these planned protests, which now coaches are saying they\u2019re gonna lead, they\u2019re gonna join their players in kneeling.<\/p>\n

The NFL has announced they\u2019re going to play the black national anthem prior to week 1 games. It\u2019s called “Lift Every Voice and Sing.” That is the African-American national anthem, just gonna play that, then they\u2019re gonna play the national anthem for the white supremacists, O say can you see. And then they\u2019re gonna kneel and the coaches are gonna lead the kneeling, the Redskins are gonna have changed their name. And everybody is just gonna be so happy. Everybody is just gonna be so excited.<\/p>\n

Except they won\u2019t be. It\u2019s just like my dad used to tell me after I\u2019d come in late on a Friday night. “You boys have fun?” “Oh, yeah, Dad.” “No, you didn\u2019t. You think you did, but you didn\u2019t.” These people are gonna think they\u2019ve done something wonderful and great, but isn\u2019t gonna change anything. When they change the name of the Washington Redskins to the Redtails or whatever it\u2019s gonna be, there isn\u2019t gonna be any magic happiness. There isn\u2019t gonna be people, “Oh, man we\u2019re so good, we are so nice, we\u2019re so decent.”<\/p>\n

And because of that, you know, it\u2019s gonna be a letdown. It\u2019s gonna end up being a letdown because it\u2019s not going to have a substantive, positive impact. I mean, people will be running around saying it is, but it isn\u2019t gonna be what they think it\u2019s gonna be.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: The guy that did Hamilton, Lin-Manuel Miranda? Well, you know, they put Hamilton on Disney Plus over the weekend. And Lin-Manuel Miranda is an accredited, accepted leftist voice in entertainment. They got mad at him. They got mad at him because he didn\u2019t make a big enough deal at the outset of the play every night that Hamilton was a racist, slave-owning pig.<\/p>\n

\"\"So Lin-Manuel Miranda has apologized for not properly acknowledging that Hamilton was a reprobate, slave-owning, racist pig. He did. I saw it over the weekend. It\u2019s a bunch of accredited liberals. The libs love that play, that musical. They thought it was the greatest. I can\u2019t tell you.<\/p>\n

I first heard about it, I was out in Los Angeles playing golf at a golf club which has many members of the Hollywood entertainment community. And these guys one day, “Have you seen Hamilton?” I didn\u2019t know what it was \u2019cause I don\u2019t go to musicals \u2019cause I can\u2019t hear \u2019em. “Oh, you gotta go, it is the greatest, oh, you gotta go, you gotta see it. I don\u2019t care what scalp or price you gotta pay, you gotta go see it.”<\/p>\n

This was a famous, famous, well known, pinnacle of the field Hollywood writer, sitcom TV writer telling me about it. “You gotta go, it\u2019s the greatest thing on earth.” And a lot of people love it, think it\u2019s the greatest. And now I just find it fascinating that even something as universally popular as that among liberal entertainment circles has now itself come under assault.<\/p>\n

(interruption) No, only one person on my staff laughed. I got an email during the break. “Did your staff fall for it when you said the three presidents that like Boll & Branch<\/a> sheets are George Washington, John Adams, and John Quincy Adams?” I said only one of them laughed in there, so either they weren\u2019t listening or they didn\u2019t know.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hey, if you think that the NFL playing the black national anthem before week 1 games is bad, get this. The NBA… “The National Basketball Association and its players union have agreed on 29 social justice messages players can wear on their jerseys during the games.<\/p>\n

“Players will have a list of 29 statements from which to choose to put on the back of their jerseys in place of their names for the first four days of the league\u2019s resumption in Orlando.” Do you think this is gonna make \u2019em happy?
