Limbaugh: This Steelers-Bengals Disgrace Says Everything About American Culture

Rush: This Steelers-Bengals disgrace says everything about American culture (HotAir)

Disgrace is the right word for it. Heated rivalries and hard hitting is nothing new for the NFL, but Saturday night’s wild card game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals showed a distortion so bad that it actually changed the outcome of the game. Rush Limbaugh starts off by rebutting Donald Trump’s odd argument that the NFL had gone too soft, when in fact the problem with the NFL and its lack of discipline is more the opposite — and a reflection of ourselves:

“I have to talk about the Steelers and Bengals on Saturday night.  Now, I made a study, too.  Folks, I don’t know how many of you saw the game.  I hope a lot of you.  For those of you who missed it, I’m just gonna give you the high points of what happened here that determined the outcome in the final minute, but it was a disgrace.

It was a flat-out disgrace.  I don’t even think the referees could have controlled this unless they had been willing to throw people out of the game long before the events late in the fourth quarter happened, and that just doesn’t seem to be a step the NFL wants to take.  But the Cincinnati Bengals had been stymied for three quarters on offense, they came back and they had a one-point lead over the Steelers.”
