It\u2019s the blank-blank money &#8212; the blank, blank, blank money. This is what we call it in tech. You get a big enough exit; it\u2019s blank-blank money to the world. &#8220;I\u2019ll do what I want.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Elon Musk does that. He acts that way. But that\u2019s not the case \u2019cause a lot of people, they never get over peer pressure. And they never get over allowing that to affect them. And that\u2019s happening with Major League Baseball and sports. You know, Drew Brees ended his great NFL career last year he played actively with an apparent rapist\u2019s name on his helmet, Jacob Blake. He was accused of rape and was trying to rape those women again the night that he was shot by the police.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-390505\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/APP-20201-040221-MLB-Baseball-COVID.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/APP-20201-040221-MLB-Baseball-COVID.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/APP-20201-040221-MLB-Baseball-COVID-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/APP-20201-040221-MLB-Baseball-COVID-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Joe Biden is wanting to see the Major League Baseball game moved out of Atlanta. He wants to just see everything go woke. And he came in about this, and we\u2019ll play the clip of him later in the show of Biden saying it himself. Now, <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2010\/05\/05\/professional_sports_should_man_up\/\">Rush went just directly to the point about pro sports needing to take the knee to the wokihadists.<\/a> He said it\u2019s cowardice.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You want to know what my opinion is? I think professional sports needs to man up. You\u2019ve got the Reverend Jackson demanding that Bud Selig cancel an All-Star Game in Arizona because of the immigration law. Al Sharpton\u2019s on the way. Now you\u2019ve got the owner of the Phoenix Suns running around saying, &#8220;We\u2019re not going to do this!&#8221; You got a bunch of liberal sportswriters suggesting the D-Backs, the baseball team, be boycotted wherever they go. I think sports needs to man up.<\/p>\n<p>Get liberalism out of it! For crying out loud, take a look: 70% of the people of Arizona support the law. Does professional sports want to be associated siding with illegals, lawbreakers? This is no different than the Republicans supporting amnesty back in 2007 because they don\u2019t want to offend anybody, and they hope to get these votes. So you have the ownership of the Phoenix Suns, the &#8220;Los Suns,&#8221; and whoever (muttering), &#8220;We don\u2019t want to offend a portion of our fan base. We don\u2019t want to appear to be politically correct. We want to appear to be all inclusive and so forth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div id=\"zype_606786908e652c00019c462e\"><\/div>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/player.zype.com\/embed\/606786908e652c00019c462e.js?api_key=6yUf3WZePk78GtpC3BXdZSqZ5ma_gYmV_rEJ8OYJZ0wq3AlDKM2RFnOcBN0xiMco&#038;controls=true\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Well, fine and dandy but what happens when that contributes to the overall deterioration of the culture of the society? I just think it\u2019s cowardice. I\u2019m sorry. I think it\u2019s cowardice, pure and simple. Ozzie Guillen, the manager of the Chicago White Sox, from Venezuela, said he will not go and participate in the All-Star Game as a manager or coach if it\u2019s in Arizona. Well, okay. So we\u2019re supposed to change everything? We\u2019re supposed to deal with American law by reacting to what Ozzie Guillen of the Chicago White Sox says?<\/p>\n<p>No. If he doesn\u2019t like it, let him not go. Don\u2019t go! Fine and dandy. Don\u2019t go! It\u2019s fine if you don\u2019t want to go, but we\u2019re not going to change federal law or state law just so you can show up at an All-Star Game. It is an interesting thing about the intersection of politics and sports, which I thought was not supposed to happen, but it obviously is. The bottom line here is it\u2019s just cowardice that\u2019s running this: Cowardice disguised as supremacy, cowardice disguised as &#8220;I\u2019m better than you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-389799\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/APP-20201-033021-Classic-MEMORABLE.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/APP-20201-033021-Classic-MEMORABLE.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/APP-20201-033021-Classic-MEMORABLE-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/APP-20201-033021-Classic-MEMORABLE-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>Cowardice disguised as &#8220;I\u2019m more open-minded than you.&#8221; Cowardice disguised as, &#8220;Uh, uh, I\u2019m more worldly than you are. I &#8212; I &#8212; I\u2019m a better person. I\u2019m more tolerant than you are.&#8221; It\u2019s just cowardice, pure and simple &#8212; and if it isn\u2019t cowardice, it\u2019s pure ideology. Nothing other than political liberalism that\u2019s guiding the opinions on this, which is common and okay in politics. But tell us that!<\/p>\n<p>You know, don\u2019t give us this superior, &#8220;I\u2019m better than you are,&#8221; multicultural garbage. Just tell us you\u2019re a liberal, you disagree with the law, and you don\u2019t think that the jerseys ought to say Suns because it offends you! Don\u2019t hide behind holier-than-thou, you\u2019re-better-than-everybody-else stuff. That\u2019s the thing about liberals: They just can\u2019t be honest about who they are. They have to always denigrate everybody else. &#8220;Well, we have to wear these &#8216;Los Suns\u2019 jerseys because there are so many racists in our state that we have to battle it.&#8221; Sorry. It doesn\u2019t fly here on the EIB Network.<\/p>\n<p>I really thought, my experience with the St. Louis Rams was that sports cannot be politicized. Ozzie Guillen and all these other people, if you don\u2019t like playing in the United States, if you don\u2019t like playing in Arizona, go back and play for Hugo Chavez and try to make the millions of dollars there that you make here! You notice how everybody, folks, they\u2019re all for diversity as long as everybody thinks alike. Liberals love diversity as long as everybody thinks the same thing!<\/p>\n<p>TODD: If you work in a corporate environment&#8230; Look, I have. I have radio station in Seattle, KTTH. It\u2019s kind of a corporate environment. You can speak up and lose your job or we could not speak up and lose our country. It really is time to start to ask questions in these meetings where we\u2019re pressured &#8212; and I\u2019m not saying this happened to your work. Gladly, it hasn\u2019t. But I know people who are pressured. It is really time for us to speak up and say, &#8220;Wait, I\u2019m sorry. I am not willing to pretend to be racist just because I\u2019m white. I\u2019m just not. Is anyone else in this room unwilling to do that?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>People are waiting for folks to lead them, and we\u2019re gonna have to do hard things \u2019cause I think it was also Walter Williams who said that freedom is not the natural state of things.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TODD: Rush went just directly to the point about pro sports needing to take the knee to the wokihadists.
