[Senator Clay Davis]

Oh look, another denial as if anyone believes him anymore

“Number one: That’s an outright lie. Number two: You can talk to my lawyers about it,” the Toronto mayor told the hosts of the Washington, D.C. sports radio show, “The Sports Junkies,” over the phone Thursday morning. “I’m here to talk football, guys. If you want to talk about other things then unfortunately, I’m going to have to let you go.”

Ford was on the program to talk NFL picks, but one host repeatedly lobbed him softball political questions, drawing the ire of the mayor, who repeatedly tried to turn the conversation to football.

When the mayor did turn the conversation to football he casually dismissed the NFL’s concussion problem and Native Americans’ problem with the Washington Redskins name.

“It’s been around for years and year and years and if they were offended they should have come out when the name was first initiated,” he said. “How long have the ‘Skins had their name for? Years and years and years and all of a sudden the political correct people are coming out now.”

Ford also said he was a fan of “two-tier” health care.

“I’d be a Republican if I was done in the States. I don’t believe in all this public-funded health care, we can’t afford it,” he said. “If you want health care, you pay for it. It’s going to cost you guys a fortune to put in Obamacare.”
