RUSH: I\u2019ve got two columns today. Jason Whitlock is back with a piece that just reams the NFL, Goodell, and Troy Vincent. And there\u2019s also a piece today by Matt Walsh at The Daily Wire basically accusing — two different columns accusing the NFL management structure of being a bunch of cowards by virtue of caving to Black Lives Matter, letting a Marxist organization basically take over your league.<\/p>\n

\"\"And then after you allow that to happen, then, as your league puts on its games, you make it clear that you\u2019re playing your games for the approval of Black Lives Matter, a Marxist organization.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I mentioned earlier in the big program that Jason Whitlock and another columnist have come out just firing both barrels at the NFL. This is Matt Walsh at The Daily Wire. Now, Matt Walsh\u2019s piece is headlined, “The Pathetic Moral Cowards of the NFL and the NBA.”<\/a> Jason Whitlock: “Cowardice-2020 Pandemic Ravaging Roger Goodell, Troy Vincent and the NFL.”<\/a><\/p>\n

Let me give you some pull quotes from Jason Whitlock first, formerly of the Kansas City “Scar” and then ESPN. Now he\u2019s working at an outfit called OutKick. He says, “The real pandemic destroying America isn\u2019t COVID-19. It\u2019s a lack of principle-based, unselfish, masculine leadership.” That is what\u2019s destroying America. Let me repeat that. In his opinion, what\u2019s “destroying America” is the “lack of … masculine leadership” that is based in principle.<\/p>\n

He says further that what is destroying America is “a failure of men, an en-masse surrender to a secular culture that pursues status, wealth and power by any means necessary,” and he means Black Lives Matter. He means Marxist, communist organizations like Black Lives Matter or Antifa — and the fact that the NFL is cowering in fear to them is beyond the pale.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re eight days from the start of professional football, and it\u2019s clear,” writes Mr. Whitlock, “my beloved National Football League will follow the NBA\u2019s path of turning its games into shrines for Black Lives Matter. The names George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Jacob Blake, Eric Garner, Michael Brown and other alleged victims of police brutality will appear on the back of NFL helmets.<\/p>\n

“The league will paint social justice slogans in end zones and play the black national anthem (‘Lift Every Voice and Sing\u2019) before games. Tuesday, in a joint news conference, commissioner Roger Goodell and his top black assistant, Troy Vincent, publicly announced their capitulation to BLM, aka, Bigots Love Marxism. ‘The NFL stands with the black community, the players, clubs and fans,\u2019 Goodell said.<\/p>\n

“‘Confronting recent systemic racism with tangible and productive steps…” Let me just jump in here. Let me tell you what\u2019s got him bugged. He thinks the players don\u2019t know what they\u2019re talking about, that they are easily hoodwinked. He thinks that the players haven\u2019t the slightest idea who Black Lives Matter really is, even though they can easily find out.<\/p>\n

But they\u2019re not even taking the effort, making the effort to find out. They are a Marx organization. They are not civil rights based. They are not really rooted in police violence. That\u2019s simply their hook! They are genuinely anti-American, pro-Marxist, pro-communists — and he can\u2019t believe that the NFL players, the black players are buying into this.<\/p>\n

\"\"He can\u2019t believe that they\u2019re being so easily hoodwinked, and he can\u2019t believe that the commissioner is not making an effort to tell the players what\u2019s really going on because all of this is ruining the game. All of this is doing more damage to this game than these people can possibly admit because there is so much fear of Black Lives Matter and there\u2019s so much fear of the players walking out that the commissioner — and his number one assistant, Troy Vincent, are doing anything.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re bending over forwards and backwards, whatever, to let the players have their say and make the players think they are running the show. They\u2019re going about saving the NFL in an entirely wrong way. This is what Whitlock\u2019s point is, and he can\u2019t believe it! He can\u2019t believe there\u2019s not an adult male anywhere in the NFL to stand up and say, “Do we know what we are doing here?”<\/p>\n

Let me finish Goodell\u2019s statement here very quickly. “‘We will not relent in our work. We will redouble our efforts to be catalysts for the urgent and sustainable change that our society and communities so desperately need. I\u2019m so proud of everyone across our league and others who have taken a stand using their voices and platforms to continue to shine the spotlight on things that must change.<\/p>\n

“By listening and working and understanding our players, we built the foundation for tangible change…'” Whitlock says, “There\u2019s so much wrong with Goodell\u2019s statement that I hardly know where to begin. He stands with the black community? The white kids burning down Portland and Seattle under the pretense of black lives mattering represent the black community?” and he\u2019s exactly right.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, it\u2019s white suburban women. It\u2019s Millennial-aged white women who have been so guilt tripped over their white privilege, they are — white pepole — predominantly are leading the charge in the unrest, and Black Lives Matter is on the side taking advantage of the other work that they\u2019re doing, and they\u2019re being seen enough to have a connection to it.<\/p>\n

“He stands with the black community?” It\u2019s “white kids burning down Portland and Seattle… Confronting recent systemic racism? There\u2019s no proof George Floyd\u2019s death had anything to do with his race. None,” says Whitlock. “Same goes for Jacob Blake. Breonna Taylor?<\/p>\n

“According to an excellent long-form story in the New York Times<\/a>, on the night of Taylor\u2019s death Louisville police executed four separate raids related to the drug case involving Taylor and her ex-boyfriend. There was gunfire at just one of the raids, and that was sparked by Taylor\u2019s new boyfriend firing at and hitting a police officer first.” Anyway, he says, “I digress. Let\u2019s return to Goodell and Vincent, the NFL\u2019s Starsky and Hutch…<\/p>\n

“Vincent, the league\u2019s vice president of football operations, said NFL players have the right to sit out games to protest social injustice. ‘They all have a choice, an individual choice and right to either sit out or protest, however one would characterize it,\u2019 Vincent said… Do all workers have this right or is this solely reserved for NFL and NBA players building social media brands?”<\/p>\n

\"\"You just have the right not to play? You have the right not to show up? “I\u2019ve yet to mention Vincent\u2019s most infuriating comment. He defended his push to get NFL owners to embrace BLM by referencing his Christian faith. ‘I ask my Lord and savior Jesus Christ to allow me to be a bridge builder,\u2019 Vincent said. ‘And I try to stay on the premise of educating, whether that\u2019s a player or a club owner. I just speak to humanity.'”<\/p>\n

Whitlock says, in ongoing and continued frustration, “Black Lives Matter is founded in Marxism. It\u2019s founders have publicly acknowledged they\u2019re trained in Marxist political theory. Karl Marx was an atheist who preached religion is the opiate of the oppressed. Marxism, communism and socialism all are hostile toward religion.” They aren\u2019t in it! “Vincent is building a bridge to Satan,” says Jason Whitlock.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a hard-hitting piece, and the Matt Walsh piece at the Daily Wire is, interestingly, much the same.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
