>>>OK Guest,AR282, I'm ignorant, don't watch tv, and I'm not a sports fan. Who is Pam Oliver and what did s/he say.<<<

She was interviewing some team's defensive line--I don't remember which team. They were almost all black and one white. As she went down the line, each recited what was obviously a rehearsed spiel about how he would crush the other team and strike fear in their hearts and all that stuff--really just boyish badinage meant for fun. When Oliver approached the last guy who was white, she cut him off before he could say anything and said, "And you're just the white guy, right?"

What was that about? What right did she have to belittle this man for his skin color? What had he ever done to her to deserve having his spiel ruined so she could crack a joke about his race? Nothing was said about it all. Then Limbaugh correctly points out the "social concern" (more like "racial agenda") of the NFL and he's history.
