It appears that the group Rush Limbaugh was a part of that was trying to buy the St. Louis Rams has decided to drop him because it's felt he is a problem for the group. Well, Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson and the rest of the pinheads that think Rush is a racist are getting their way. And that's too bad.
After all, whether you like Rush or not, here is a man that has been successful, made a ton or two of dough, and was trying to buy a portion of a sports franchise. I believe it's called capitalism. I believe it's called a guy just spending his money however the hell he wants. This isn't a convicted felon, like a lot of the NFL players, trying to buy a gun, this is a guy trying to buy a business.
Besides let's take a look at a few owners from the NBA. Jay-Z, is part owner of the NJ Nets. I'm not a fan of Mr. Z's music, but what do I care if he owns part of an NBA team? Even after hearing how he is not a fan of white America I still don't care that he has a stake in the Nets. Yes, he made comments about white America at the inauguration of Obama.
Then let's look at Mark Cuban of the Dallas Mavericks. Another buffoon. Doesn't he get fined by the league every other day for saying something stupid about the referees? Didn't he say to Kenyan Martin's mother last year, "your son's a thug?" Hasn't he been sentenced to work a day in a fast food joint because of stupid comments? Yet he still owns a team.
Sure Rush said that he thinks Donovan McNabb is over rated and that the media wants to see a black QB do well. Do they? I don't know. But the media is surely a liberal bunch. So you make up your own mind about that. He was fired by ESPN for that comment. That company most certainly is liberal.
Roger Goodell says he was worried about the perception of the league with Rush as a part owner. What? He's concerned about the image of the league? BS. Who's in the league these days? Oh yeah, criminals. Michael Vick, Ray Lewis, Jamal Lewis, Randy Moss, and starting next year Donte Stallworth just to name a few. At least Adam Jones finally got the boot. What kind of message is he sending when he lets these criminals make millions and are being held up as role models?
He even made the divisive comment. What about a clown like T.O.? He divides every locker room he's ever been in, yet he's still around. Didn't he get thrown off the Eagles for his sideline rants at McNabb? I would bet that Parcells retired from the Cowboys earlier than anticipated because of Owens. He wont last long in Buffalo either because of his attitude. All this after questioning the sexual preference of Jeff Garcia.
Now even as divisive and provocative as Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are would they be denied a chance at part ownership? Of course not. That would be racist. At least according to them. Even though it is they that are racist.
Some of the comments attributed to Rush, such as slavery had it's merits, can't even be authenticated. Now Rush is threatening to sue the people that are saying he made these comments. Good for him.
I am so glad that before this season started I decided that I was done with the NFL. I haven't watched a single play. I haven't checked the standings. I haven't had anything to do with football in any way shape or form.
But it would have been fun to see if these prima donna players that said they wouldn't play if Rush was involved would actually have stood true to their word. I doubt it.
Who would have paid them the millions they think they deserve?
