Enough Already!

I'm so tired of it. We live with it and have to deal with it on a daily basis. Can't we just stop worrying about this crap and just move on? When will enough be enough? When will one or two people stop trying to influence millions and let the people start to think for themselves? I'm talking about race relations and more directly their relationship in sports.

Race was once again brought to the forefront this week when Rush Limbaugh officially threw his name in the hat to be a co-owner of the St. Louis Rams. No, Rush didn't put his foot in his mouth again, ala 2003 when he made cooments about Philadelphia Eagle's quarterback Donovan Mcnabb. But you would have thought he had with the media exposure he is getting. Back in 2003 Limbaugh was at his new job at ESPN on the Monday Night crew. He stated, he thought that Mcnabb was overrated as a quarterback and he only got labled as a good quarterback because he was black.

No, this time Limbaugh was quiet about his attempts to buy the Rams. The two people that are bringing up the past issue are Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. They both are against the sale to Limbaugh with Jackson stating that it is a privelage to own a team. Hmmm, doesn't sound like they are
into giving people second chances or are they? Wasn't it just a few weeks ago that these guys were backing Michael Vick? Oops, did I let that secret out of the bag? Aren't these the two guys that you could get 1-5 odds will ALWAYS be at the center of anything race related! I mean if you were sitting around tonight and you saw the news teaser about a race situation in sports and that there were going to be two people that commented on the story earlier, wouldn't you bet your kids school fund that it would be Sharpton and Jackson?

How about we stop worrying about how people were in the past and start focussing on how they are today! People change and everyone deserves a second chance. Everyone except Sharpton and Jackson. We are tired of who you were, who you are and who you will be tommorow. It will be the same damn thing we have been hearing and we are ready to move on. You hear that, America is ready for a change and since you are not part of the solution, realize what you really are apart of!
