And now a word from an NFL owner:
“And the game done chose me to bring pain to
niggas and pussy holes, they one in the same.” - I’m
Real, co-written by Jennifer Lopez, minority
owner of the Miami Dolphins.
Amidst the uproar over Rush Limbaugh having to step
aside from his participation in the bid to purchase the
NFL’s St. Louis Rams over racially insensitive
statements he never actually made, is the fact that
current ACTUAL owners of an NFL team have said much
worse than the false and the left says nothing.
Fergie: NFL Owner
Jennifer Lopez, whose Sondheim-like lyric genius is
on display at the top of this post, holds the same
status with the Miami Dolphins as Limbaugh would have
with the Rams. And, not only does she have
co-writer credit on this offensive drivel, she also
recorded and performed it live. She continues to
earn money in royalties for her genius use of the
“N-Word.” My guess is that those who took issue with
Limbaugh’s imaginary racial slur are OK with J-Lo’s
actual racial slur because she looks a lot better in
tight pants
–
Meanwhile, another minority owner of the Dolphins has
some controversial issues with public statements as well.
Recently, Dolphins minority owner Serena Williams
broke quite a few FCC laws by letting loose an
“F-word” filled tirade on live television during the
US Open. Then she menacingly threatened a side
judge and was subsequently disqualified. This kind
of behavior and speech seems to be right in line with
the NFL’s standards since I missed the press
conference from Commissioner Roger Goodell condemning
it.
Finally, we get to Fergie, some-time member of the
Black Eyed Peas and some-time solo artist. You
betcha, she has also been approved as a minority owner
of the Miami Dolphins. Fergie is a huge Obama
supporter, so I guess the NFL thought it was pretty cool
that she just performed her song “Glamorous” at the
White House Easter egg hunt… an event for children.
Here’s how the DC Examiner reported the event:
Lines like “wear them gold and diamond rings”
and “I’m not clean, I’m not pristine” may not
be the dream lyrics for their daughters to emulate,
but the song’s repetition of the line “If you
ain’t got no money take your broke a** home” made
a few parents cringe. She did of course edit the curse
word from the song Monday — but some of crowd
members helpfully filled it in for her.
It gets better. Earlier this week, Goodell said of
Limbaugh’s potential ownership, “Divisive comments
are not what the NFL is all about.” Is he splitting
hairs between “comments” and “lyrics?” Because
these lyrics from a 2003 Black Eyed Peas song sounds
pretty divisive to me:
Overseas, yeah, we try to
stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin’
In the USA, the big CIA …
A war is goin’ on but
the reason’s undercover
The truth is kept secret, it’s swept under the rug
Nothing like accusing the
CIA of terrorism and our government of lying to bring
people together. Goodell also said, “We’re all held
to a high standard here.”
Really? Does this
meet his high standard?
Whatcha gonna do with all
that junk
All that junk inside your trunk
I’ma get get get get you drunk
Get you love drunk off my hump
My hump my hump my hump my hump my hump
My hump my hump my hump my lovely little lumps
How about drinking so much
that you
wet your pants, mid-song, on stage, in front of a
live audience?
This week the NFL did more to silence conservative
political perspectives on the radio then liberals and
their “Fairness Doctrine” could ever dream of doing.
By bowing to shrill political pressure they forced
a group of potential buyers of the St. Louis Rams,
headed by Dave Checkett, to drop Rush Limbaugh from the
ownership team. Forget for a moment that the
heinous statements attributed to Limbaugh were never
sourced or substantiated and completely false. Also
forget that Limbaugh, as a minority owner, would have no
actual control or real influence over personnel or
management decisions with the team. None of that
matters.
The left hates Limbaugh. He had to be stopped.
But Rush will be just fine. They can’t shut
him up; he’s too big. And even if they do pass
the “Fairness Doctrine,” he will move to satellite
radio and finally give Mel Karmazin a healthy balance
sheet.
No, the real danger in all of this is the chilling
effect it has on the rest of the conservative world.
Those of us articulating our points of view and
trying to persuade others. Just like Rush has done
for over two decades. And now, the seed has been
planted. Someday, we might want to own a football
team. Hell, we’re capitalists! Will
something we say or write now be twisted around or even
made up to smear us and keep us from fulfilling our
dream?
Yes, the seed has been planted. They’ve done
what the intended to do. It wasn’t about
stopping Rush… it was done to stop all of us. And
they will lie if they have to, to get what they want.
Change? Yes. Hope? Not so much.
