Rush Limbaugh Calls Osyp Shit
Fresh off of his statements at ESPN, Rush Limbaugh has made another media blunder while covering PT-Ann Arbor.
“I think that Osyp Lebedowicz is shit. What we've had here is a little social concern in professional Magic. The media and Wizards of the Coast have been very desirous that a black player do well.” Limbaugh said.
"There is a little hope invested in Osyp, and he got a lot of credit for the performance of TOGIT that he didn't deserve. Ken Krouner carried this team," he said.
Limbaugh’s comments have drawn fire from many within the Magic: the Gathering community, but also other attention-grabbing media hogs.
“Listen… we don’t care if Osyp is good or not, or black or not, that comment was a bigoted… ignorant… It was just plain bignorant!” exclaimed the Rev. Al Sharpton.
"All this has become the tempest that it is because I must have been right about something," Limbaugh said. "If I wasn't right, there wouldn't be this cacophony of outrage that has sprung up in the Magic community."
“The statements of Rush Limbaugh do not necessarily reflect those of Wizards.” said Mark Rosewater, a Wizards representative at PT-Ann Arbor. “In fact, we don’t even know what he’s doing here. He just showed up, carrying the ESPN microphone, what could we say?”
“Everyone knows that we try to publicize women as a minority, not anyone else.” Rosewater added.
When reached for comment, Osyp claimed to not be actually black and therefore not offended. This doesn’t make for very good news, and therefore, we at MiseTings request that you ignore that statement.
