Rush trying to get back into the NFL

I can't stand Rush Limbaugh and hope he stays far away from the NFL so he doesn't suck all the life and fun out of watching football for me.

WEll, it seems only fitting that he is now backing yet ANOTHER disgracfully losing team. He has already been backing the republican party for years, why would his NFL pick be any different. Other than that, non story, guy buying foot ball team. I'm not a republican fan and I'm not a football fan, unless the Pats are in the Superbowl that is, the only time I ever watch football.

The ironic part of that whole incident was Rush was neither the first nor the last person to make the same observation. He was, however, the only one punished for stating the obvious.

All I can say is if he does, well thank god he is not going to buy the Raiders because I know my dad would shake his head in shame, and it has nothing to do with the fact that Rush might be a racist, Rush Limbaugh is an a$$ either way, and any person that is going to defend him is going to defend his calling a girl a dog, and blaming a woman for her husbands cheating by saying she should have been doing something with her mouth besides talking, Rush Limbaugh is a piece of womanizing filth, and its so sad to see that so many mylotters support him despite the disgusting things that he has said, sometimes you do need to put politics aside and just look at the person, and its funny and ironic because alot of those people will label Obama supporters a certain immature way usually, but they won't look in the mirror and realize that they are supporting a womanizing and derogatory former junkie that makes fun of people with Parkinson's disease. Can you say hypocrite haha

A person's political views shouldn't have anything to do with whether or not they'd be a good owner. I wouldn't care if Olbermann or one of those other uber-leftist commentators wanted to purchase part of a sports team. I highly doubt Rush would have the Rams wearing anti-Obama jerseys. I don't think he'd put himself in the booth to discuss politics while the team played. In fact, I don't see what Rush's politics have to do with this at all. The NFL being a business, they want long money. I guess the only possible argument I can see is that people would somehow turn on the Rams should Rush purchase a stake. And that's really something I can't see happening. Not everyone's so jaded to give two good sh1ts about an owners' politics. Sure, some are, you included, I imagine, but to think a significant portion of sports fans actually care about the policits or personal life in general of an owner is preposterous. Really, there are only a few percent of Americans who are that blatantly shut off from others and reactionary to the point of revolt should someone they disagree with politically suddenly enter into business. And I dare say that the vast majority of that few percent really are not NFL fans. The NFL's public image is rife with legitimate criminality. That's the aspect of the game owners feel will deter average fans. To counter this, they go out of their way to throw the proverbial "feel-good" stories out there, like the mass media feeding frenzy surrounding Favre's return; the Manning brothers and their clean-nosed appeal; Tom Brady and idol worship; etc. Even still, Vick stories are always steam gainers. But there's no legitimate fallout. NFL fans are able to separate any one person from their love of the sport. And that's who the NFL markets to: football fans. How many Steelers fans walked away from the team when Obama named their owner, Dan Rooney, as Ambassador to Ireland? Nobody cares about his politics. It's football. Life isn't so unwaveringly political, so incredibly black and white. All that said, Rush should do something else with his money. How about donating it to the Boys and Girls Club in order to buy a few hundred disenfrancised kids season tickets at every NFL stadium for the next decade? A worthier cause, in my opinion.

Limbaugh's comments were no worse than what some liberals say (and don't think they don't make racist statements, because they do.); actually, they were less racist. Whoever was offended needs to thicken their skin. McNabb's a friggin' football player...it's pretty sad that he's so tough on the playing field, yet so thin-skinned off of it that he can't just ignore someone's opinions. I say "More power to you, Rush."
