It’s possible, but not how you’d expect. From an excellent article in the NY Daily News:
Mathias Kiwanuka loves his former defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, but the Giants‘ defensive end says he will never play for Spagnuolo’s Rams if Rush Limbaugh purchases the team (Limbaugh is part of an ownership group seeking to purchase the St. Louis Rams).
“All I know is from the last comment I heard, he said in (President) Obama’s America, white kids are getting beat up on the bus while black kids are chanting ‘right on,'” Kiwanuka told The Daily News. “I mean, I don’t want anything to do with a team that he has any part of. He can do whatever he wants, it is a free country. But if it goes through, I can tell you where I am not going to play.”
“I am not going to draw a conclusion from a person off of one comment, but when it is time after time after time and there’s a consistent pattern of disrespect and just a complete misunderstanding of an entire culture that I am a part of, I can’t respect him as a man.”
And lest you think that Limbaugh has not made racial references towards the NFL and NFL players, you may recall that he was tossed from his (inexplicable) 2003 Monday Night Football gig for suggesting that the NFL was propping up Donovan McNabb. Oh, and here’s another Limbaugh football reference for you:
Limbaugh, who grew up in Missouri about 100 miles south of St. Louis, is an avid sports fan who once said that “the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons.”
It gets tougher and tougher for an Iggles’ fan to hate the Giants when they’ve got people like Mathias Kiwanuka speaking their minds.
