Clay Travis Looks Back at Rush Limbaugh's Legacy

On OutKick the Show, Clay Travis looked back at Rush Limbaugh's legacy and the impact his career had on the country.

"There is an argument, a very strong one, that Rush Limbaugh is the most influential person in American radio history," Clay begins.

"Rush spent his career fighting the good fight on behalf of the First Amendment and the marketplace of ideas."

Here is the full segment:










While a long list of conservative broadcasters correctly credited Rush for their careers yesterday, Rush's impact spread well beyond just conservative media. As I explained on Twitter last night, Rush paved the way for voices that didn't fall in line. Those who didn't try to fit into a box but create their own box. Rush proved you shouldn't want to be the next anyone. Rush was the inventor of alternative, fearless media. It was he who proved that Americans connect with an everyman, not writers from the Ivy League.

Clay's tribute to Rush is one of many worth checking out this afternoon.
