It's sad that people are so infantile that they won't play for a team owned by Limbaugh because he did something not much different than what people like Sharpton do all the time - complain about double standards that don't exist.

Sharpton just needs to STFU and stop making such a scene. With all the mean things that Ted Turner said about Christians that are far worse than anything Limbaugh said about black people, you didn't see players refusing to play for the Braves, or people refusing to work with Time Warner, or any Christian groups running around asking that Ted Turner be removed from his leadership positions.

I'm sure Rush really wants to buy in on this thing but even if he is denied it doesn't hurt him. It just gives him more material and will propel those that believe in him even further down the line. He will use it as a tool to show how the "us against them" thing should be ratcheted up even further. I'm betting that he's gonna claim that it is some sort of discrimination against him, and it has a small amount of validity.
I know what I say is true, as well as what they say. However, I'm not going to bitch out and say what I was saying is wrong when it wasn't because they wanted to bully me out of it. If they think they are getting that form me they are dumb as fuck. :nod:

Clenze, no one "deserves" a right to buy an NFL Franchise. You "earn" it through accumulation of capital AND conducting yourself in a manner that will not tarnish the reputation and viability of the team or league. He fails on the latter. :geek:

The NFL is a club like the boy scouts
Nobody was more vocal about the boy scouts not allowing gay scoutmasters than RUSH..!!!
He was very quick to point out: It's not a right it's a privilege to belong to the Boy Scouts

The NFL gets to decide who what when and where...
Rush can want to buy a club - but they have the right - on any grounds they choose to say: Nope

I don't know about that, even in theory. There are some folks in this world who I wouldn't sell to at any multiple over my asking price. The seller should have the most rights in this equation — it's their property, and they should have the final say in whether they sell to a known asshole or not. As a prospective buyer, Rush doesn't have the right to buy jack shit. And since NFL ownership is like a Pompano Beach POA on steroids and experimental sphincter-tightening meds, it isn't bloody likely he'll ever have the privilege, either.

Rush was an idiot for the things he said about McNabb.

Yet he should not be precilded from participation in the economy of a free society.

If he wants to succeed as an NFL owner, he will have to figure out how to make amends.

Fu*k all the racist black players for not wanting Limbaugh to buy the Rams.

All this race crap is just another lie of the left.

Anybody that knows Limbaugh knows there isnt a racist bone in his body, he has black friends, blacks on his staff, total BS made up crap.

Explain this **** to your teammates and coworkers in the Rams organization. The guy who co-owns your team, played this over and over on his radio show:



Barack the Magic Negro lives in D.C.
The L.A. Times, they called him that
‘Cause he’s not authentic like me.
Yeah, the guy from the L.A. paper
Said he makes guilty whites feel good
They’ll vote for him, and not for me
‘Cause he’s not from the hood.

See, real black men, like Snoop Dog,
Or me, or Farrakhan
Have talked the talk, and walked the walk.
Not come in late and won!

Oh, Barack the Magic Negro, lives in D.C.

Some say Barack’s “articulate”
And bright and new and “clean.”
The media sure loves this guy,
A white interloper’s dream!
But, when you vote for president,
Watch out, and don’t be fooled!
Don’t vote the Magic Negro in –
‘Cause —

’Cause I won’t have nothing after all these years of sacrifice
And I won’t get justice. This is about justice. This isn’t about me, it’s about justice.
It’s about buffet. I don’t have no buffet and there won’t be any church contributions,
And there’ll be no cash in the collection plate.
There ain’t gonna be no cash money, no walkin’ around money, no phoning money.
Now, Barack going to come in here and ........
Its easily explained, its a song written by Paul Shanklin.

He sold the song to the radio station owned by Clear Channel Communications.................you know.........a business decision.

Nope, but this whole idea he is racist is just another attempt from the left to character assassinate another rich white guy. Its made up BS.

The things he said about McNabb are true, the media does try to present an average black player to look like hes better than he is. Thats not racist thats a fact.

Look at what they are doing with Hussein Obama.

Rush exudes what the NFL needs, success, charisma and a business savy they dont have.

Not to mention its not just Rush trying to buy in, Dave Checketts (owner of the St Louis Blues) and depending on the source as many as 3 other people are trying to buy them as a group.

The NFL would be ignorant to stop this when legitimate sports franchise owners and other successful business people are involved.

I bet both of you a beer, Limbaugh and Checketts get the Rams.


31 of the 32 team owners backed McCain. (Rooney+Obama)

Its a conservative group, he will get the vote.

Then these racist black players can suck it for being douchebags about this, its not even a news story.

The NFL, like the other major professional sports, is neither a free economy nor a free society. Doesn't matter if you've got the Pharaoh's loot, 'cause there's 31 other assholes who have to grant you permission to enter into their exclusive little club, and frankly they don't mind not even a little bit to put you out on your fat ass if they think your presence will devalue their franchise. A highly political, polarizing blowhard with a taste for face-fulls of pharmaceuticals and a penchant for race-baiting ain't likely to darken the same doors with the Maras and Rooneys and McCaskeys and Hunts, and there really ain't a damn thing he can do about it.

The only way I would want to see Limbaugh involved with the NFL would be if he got fucked in his stupid trachea by Visanthe Shiancoe, and the whole thing was captured for posterity by NFL Films and posthumously narrated by John Facenda.

Average? :rofl:

You need to quit huffing glue buddy

#17 All Time Passer Rating, by the time he retires he will be in the top 20 all time for every single QB stat category minus interceptions. Is he better than Brady, Manning or Brees? I don't think so. Is he better all time than Favre or Montana? Nope. But I don't think anyone in the Media is disputing this.

The entertaining thing here is that I believe Limbaugh was absolutely right when he said that "media" thing about Donovan McNabb. Guy's a fvck, but he does have the courage to say what most others won't.

Was watching Morning Joe again this morning and it was hilarious to see them tip-toe around the issue, being so artfully careful not to say anything "offensive". Scarborough even told his friend, "Now, Steve, I don't want you to get fired from Morning Joe for an opinion, but what do you think?" Very tongue-in-cheek and, yet, the guy tripped all over himself being cautious not to say anything controversial!!

The funniest thing to me about Rush Limbaugh and his radio show is that he is an entertainer. He holds some of the beliefs that he puts forth on his show but he goes over the top to get people interested and listening. He has a flair for drama much like many others out there. In other words he's playing a role and has cultivated a persona to get a greater audience and make people either love him or hate him. Really now, should I take what he says and think that everything in his performance is true? If I should then I guess I better start thinking that other performers like Alec Guiness is really Adolf Hitler. I guess that D1B, and Cap'n are really the characters they portray on the boards then as well. Some of you guys on both sides that act like RL is really the character he plays on the radio are pretty funny to me.

Of course that don't matter a bit cuz there are a shitload of dumbasses out there that DO think everything he says is real and that is why he will have a real challege to buy in to the Rams. The perception thing is a real bitch I guess.
