Gladwell is a Canadian who is a New Yorker Magazine writer. He has written two short, successful books, "Blink" and "Tipping Point." Both had good research and measured conclusions. That however was in the pre-Obama days. Since then, he seems have become even more of a lefty, metro-androgynous, weenie crusader. He identifies with Obama and thinks he's the savior of North America for the simpleminded, irrational reason that they are both 'bi-racial.' Gladwell has, ironically, past to his irrational tipping point.
There is a second irony here. Many, too many, sportscasters and sportswriters are lefties politically. Famous lib members of the sport's fourth estate include Bob Costas, Keith Olbermann and Mike Lupica. Sports obsessed lefties have been big supporters and sycophants of Democrat and liberal socialist politicians for decades. Apparently the big government central planners are going to weenie out on these big voices of the sporting world. What a bunch of Dolts! m/r
The Writing is on the Wall for Football - The Rush Limbaugh Show
(Jul 24, 2013)
BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Malcolm Gladwell was on Fareed Zakaria's: GPS on Sunday on CNN. He is the author of the book Outliers. He did a study of highly successful people, and the thing that he found that they had in common was that they had spent a minimum of 10,000 hours perfecting their craft, and he cited the Beatles. The Beatles, between 1960 and 1964 in Great Britain and in Germany, played gig after gig after gig, rehearsal after rehearsal.
Before the first Beatles record was heard in the United States, they had put in 10,000 hours, and he mentioned a bunch of others. The reason I mentioned this is that that book has a lot of credibility with people. He's a British scientist of some kind, but the book has a lot of credibility. It's a hard-work book. It's a book that features pathways to success. He's a journalist, and he has now become an outspoken advocate of banning college football on health grounds. Fareed Zakaria on his show Fareed Zakaria GPS on CNN Sunday said to Malcolm Gladwell, "You compare football to dog fighting. Why?"
