Sharpton pushed the issue well after it was established that it was a BS case.

Because they were offensive...to the media bigwigs and his co-hosts?  He was chiding the media for building up a black quarterback to a greater extent than he deserved simply because he was black and the media refused to see the same faults that they would crucify white quarterbacks for.  Did he use the opportunity to snipe at the media's liberal causes for one class of perceived "victims" of society?  Yes, he did.  Was it the time or place?  No, probably not.  Does that make it racist or does that make him capable of making a stupid mistake while trying to follow his own principles?

First, he didn't need to inject race into the issue.  There are a lot players who get too much media hype and are overrated.

The fact he did suggests racism and the reason he is no longer on ESPN.

Limbaugh Targeted By Obama Official



The plot thickens on the media’s character-lynching of Rush Limbaugh. Of the four stories run on ESPN.com about Limbaugh’s bid for the Rams (October 6, October 12, October 15, and another October 15) none of them mention that NFL Players Association Executive Director DeMaurice Smith served as counsel to Attorney General Eric Holder and was a member of Barack Obama’s transition team.

The October 12 article references Smith’s anti-Limbaugh email meant to garner opposition against the radio host’s bid. The report refers to Smith only as the executive director of the NFLPA. Despite the fact that Smith’s opposition was based on Limbaugh’s political commentary, the report failed to mention that Smith’s political connections (including those to whom he donated thousands of dollars) have a vested interest in Limbaugh’s discrediting.

The October 15 article (the last of four listed above) is decidedly negative toward Limbaugh, portraying him as paranoid about Obama’s involvement in the decision. The report states:


Limbaugh blamed Smith, executive director of the NFLPA and an "Obama-ite," along with Sharpton and Jackson, whom he referred to as "race hustlers," for Checketts' decision to drop him. He said his sacking was an example of the political clout wielded by President Barack Obama's administration.

There is no mention in the piece of Smith’s relationship with Holder or his work on the Obama transition.

It is not as if ESPN didn’t know of Smith’s history. The sports web site ran a report in July which stated:


In selecting Smith this year, the union chose Washington smarts over football experience. Smith, a Washington lawyer, served on the Obama transition team and also worked for Eric Holder before Holder became attorney general.

Smith’s gross conflict of interest and apparent political targeting of Obama’s top foe is a huge story. Unfortunately the media appears too blinded by their prejudice of Limbaugh to report on it.

Suggests racism?  Are we now to be monitored, in this politically correct world, for what our words suggest?  Dangerously close to "thought police" isn't it when you can decipher a person's character based on what his words DON'T state but rather suggest?

There is a rather rabid segment of society who needs racism involved with any action of a conservative and any criticism of Obama. So much so they seem quite willing to act as thought police while screaming free speech on the other side of the board they're carrying. You know the board, the two-sided doom and gloom placard usually worn by wild haired fanatics preaching the end of the world from city streets, the same people who have lost their grasp on anything resembling logic and sanity.

That's not what he said. His exact quote wasn't a racist comment, not in any way.
