<\/p>\nRUSH: Last Thursday night TNT Inside the NBA, they\u2019re talking about the impact of COVID-19, the pandemic, on the NBA season. And here\u2019s what Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith had to say about it.<\/p>\n
BARKLEY: Three hundred million shots. Give a thousand to some NBA players, NFL players, hockey players. Listen, as much taxes as these players paid — let me repeat that — as much taxes as these players paid, they deserve some preferential treatment.<\/p>\n
SMITH: For life and death?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
BARKLEY: Yes.<\/p>\n
SMITH: The amount of money you make doesn\u2019t —<\/p>\n
BARKLEY: No, no. I said taxes.<\/p>\n
SMITH: The amount of money you make —<\/p>\n
BARKLEY: I didn\u2019t say the amount of money you make.<\/p>\n
SMITH: But that\u2019s on taxes.<\/p>\n
BARKLEY: No, no, no. I\u2019m saying the amount of taxes these guys pay.<\/p>\n
SMITH: We can\u2019t go there. I don\u2019t think you could go there.<\/p>\n
RUSH: You can\u2019t go there but Chuck went there, Kenny. Chuck went there. Chuck said that these athletes are paying so much in taxes, they need to be given the vaccine first, that they are deserving of it, they are deserving of preferential treatment \u2019cause of the taxes they pay. Unbelievable.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Hey, did anybody — I don\u2019t know, I have to ask now. Did anybody watch the NFL game the Chiefs and the – (interruption) you didn\u2019t watch it? Well, there was a moment in the game, the Chiefs and the Cleve Brownies, Cleveland Browns, they were the early game on Sunday. Patrick Mahomes, the quarterback of The Chiefs was knocked out of the game because of a concussion. Okay. It\u2019s football. It happens. Well, guess what? Mahomes\u2019 mom has spoken up and she is not happy that the guy who caused the concussion on the Browns was not thrown out of the game.<\/p>\n
This is a line that has now been crossed. The mother of a star player. I just wonder how this is gonna go down. I think she\u2019s gonna be celebrated, she\u2019s gonna be applauded, she is gonna be — (interruption) no, I don\u2019t care. Doesn\u2019t matter to me. I\u2019m not articulating an opinion on it. I\u2019m just sharing what happened. I\u2019m not aware of a player\u2019s mother criticizing another player for injuring her son in the course of — it may have happened, I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
