RUSH: This Steve in Rogersville, Tennessee. You\u2019re next on the EIB Network and Open Line Friday. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. First-time caller, longtime listener, and just honored to be on the program with you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, sir, very much.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I was calling about your comments earlier about the criticism that Coach K had received because they ran up the score.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

CALLER: And, incidentally, my daughter made the phone call, but she was a little nervous about speaking so this is kind of her question, her civics lesson. We\u2019re homeschoolers and her civics lesson for today. But she was wondering about the criticism that Coach K was getting for running up the score while at the same time they are criticizing or eliminating players for not doing their best playing badminton.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes, your daughter has got an excellent question. I was just thinking the same thing earlier today when I was reading it. I saw the Coach K story right before the show started, and I thought, how ironic. Here, on the one hand, we\u2019re beating up on Coach K for running up the score, and, on the other, we\u2019re penalizing badminton players for playing down to their opponents\u2019 level<\/a> so as not to humiliate \u2019em and to give themselves easier opponents down the line. That\u2019s an excellent question on the part of your daughter.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. Well, we\u2019re out looking for a computer today, and we tune in for civics and just appreciate all that you have to share.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I\u2019m glad that you called. Thanks so much. Coach K is profoundly offended at the allegation he ran up the score. It looks like he did his best to keep his best players out of the game for as long as he could.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Look at this. Typical, typical media tweet. This is from USA Today. “Tell us: Any problem with USA Basketball score vs. Nigeria?” Can I ask a question? What are they upset about? If we had beaten, let\u2019s say, oh, Belarus by 83, would they be upset? Or is it that they\u2019re upset that we creamed Nigeria? You don\u2019t think it matters? You really don\u2019t? Anyway, USA Today: “Tell us: Any problem with USA Basketball score vs. Nigeria?”<\/p>\n

So now they\u2019re obviously doing a Twitter poll at USA Today on this. We never had these kinds of insinuations when the Harlem Globetrotters are beating up the Washington Generals. You see some of those scores? Well, I mean, for crying out loud, what are we talking about here? We got a national crime that\u2019s taken place, we beat Nigeria by 83. I don\u2019t know, Snerdley. I\u2019m not so sure that the fact it\u2019s Nigeria doesn\u2019t play a role in this, knowing these media people like I do. <\/p>\n

By the way, Nigeria has NBA guys on its team. I think there are eight former NBA players playing for Nigeria, and we crushed \u2019em by 83. Eight. Now, I don\u2019t know who the eight are. I didn\u2019t see the game. I just know that there are eight former NBA players on the Nigerian squad. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
