Posted by Sabrina B. @gametimegirl – When I read this on SB Nation, my first reaction was, “yea right.” This guy would be one of the last people I thought would stick up for McNabb in the whole Bernard Hopkins drama….Check who it is after the jump and what he had to say…
(In case you missed it, Here’s the Hopkins/McNabb Story)
Here’s Limbaugh explaining to his listeners the difference between his views and those of Hopkins:
This is just the latest in what has been a long line of attacks on Donovan McNabb from black individuals and organizations. …They have accused — and I can’t use the term. It’s a purely totally unacceptable term, but they refer to McNabb by using the N-word, and they say he’s a sellout; that McNabb befriends the white power brokers of the Eagles. …
I said nothing close to what Bernard Hopkins was saying. I never said a word about McNabb and blackness. I was talking about the media from start to finish….This poor guy cannot, he cannot catch a break. And it’s disgruntled African Americans that are jumping down his case, about the way he was raised? It is horrible, it is distasteful. His parents are out there having to defend the way they raised him, and all they tried to do was give him opportunity after opportunity, expose he and his brother to various things. It’s just amazing to watch this.
