Limbaugh should be blocked from bidding on Rams

[blueballs]

Following the same logic put forth by many here (that a person's political views should be sufficient to disqualify him from purchasing a business in his own backyard) perhaps Mark Cuban should be forced to sell the Mavs after his anti-american military movie "Rendition" and Herb Kohl should have been forced to sell the Milwaukee Bucks years ago.

Heck, I remember Ted Turner trotting out "Hanoi Jane" at the Braves playoff games in the 90's, and some of Turner's comments and associating with Castro are every bit as offensive if not more so than anything Limbaugh has put out there.

As for player not wanting to play in StL because Limbaugh is a partner, that is laughable. They'll play wherever the money is, careers are too short and if that's the best opportunity to earn and win guys will go there regardless.

[clenz]

Just proves he is a quitter.

That's true too, but you get my point, right?

I get your point....doesn't mean I'm going to follow that. One would think you would have picked up on that by now.


If I gave up everytime I was wrong or in the minority I would never be allowed to speak...I know that would make some of you so sad...




D, I know how I come across here...and trust me it is nothing like me. Ask Cap from the time I spent with him, I'm as quiet and reserved as they come. However, when it comes to fighting on the internet I'm a complete douche...kinda like you.

Maybe, P, but it won't ever get to that point. It'll be a DOA thing with the league owners who are already paralyzed in the face of Sharpton, et al.

Guy's I'm doing you a favor. I'm keeping your minds sharp for when the real assholes like Z and T come at you. You should really be thanking me for this.

I'd suggest using Sharpton as a blocking dummy but the NFL banned grease on linemen several years ago.

ST. LOUIS — Not only has NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith complained to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell about the potential sale of the Rams to an ownership group that includes conservative radio commentator Rush Limbaugh, he has urged NFL players to speak out on the issue as well.
"I have asked our players to embrace their roles not only in the game of football but also as players and partners in the business of the NFL," Smith said in a statement. "They risk everything to play this game. They understand that risk and they live with that risk and its consequences for the rest of their life. We also know that there is an ugly part of history and we will not risk going backwards, giving up, giving in, or lying down to it.
"Our men are strong and proud sons, fathers, spouses, and I am proud when they stand up, understand this is their profession and speak with candor and blunt honesty about how they feel."
So far, that hasn't happened in St. Louis, however. In the locker room after Sunday's 38-10 loss to Minnesota, more than one Rams player privately voiced opposition to the potential inclusion of Limbaugh in the ownership group. To them it was not a matter of Limbaugh's politics, but a matter of what's regarded as some of his racially charged statements.

Clenz is rather a reserved guy. Had lunch with him last Spring. But, he's that Ted Kascynski, Ted Bundy, Charlie Manson, Bernhard Goetz, Son of Sam sort of reserved. Don't know if he's carrying a machete under his coat or not. I had to eat lunch with one eye on him the whole time. I even paid for it, so he wouldn't murder me and my boys!

Maybe that was pre-meds.

Nice attempt at a reversal, but you're dealing with the cream of the crop. Christ I invented that move on AGS several years ago.

Funny douche...


Sadly pre-meds I may have been crazy enough to be looked at that way. I don't think I was on them yet, but I was seeing someone.


I never even got to see your boys, you just gave them money and said "Go away, play darts or something I don't want to see you." You even made them eat at a different table. Some father you are

I actually could smell him. It was an intriguing combination of Polo for men and spent gunpowder.

it's not his politics (there are probably plenty of right wing owners) it's his frequent racial outbursts that give the league a black eye... and the 5 days a week radio show where he can say those things going forward

Nailed it, blueballs. If Antwaan Jaquez-Muhammad wants to play for Rush's Rams for $10 million a year, go for it. The Rams will suck for years. I challenge the ownership team of Cap'n Crunch-Dose1Bigsnort-TiTtyBisonFan to do as well.

sorry - but any player that good is going to get offers from other teams... teams not owned by a loud-mouthed bigot... and they'll be signing with that other team...

there will be some, with no other offers, who will jump... but they won't be the elite talent of the league

OK, Mr. Capitalist BigShot...name me one elite talent that wouldn't jump if the price was right. And don't give me that washed-up bridesmaid loser McNabb. either.

Clenz...you haven't taken the ass kicking that these guys say you have. Most everything you say is true, but most everything they say is true as well.

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.

i dont think you should - i'm not a fan of the practice of "declare victory and taunt"...

in theory - and in a vacuum, your point is valid - if a businessman has the money, he should be able to buy a team, however, just like any company, they have to look at the impact to their reputation - and Limbaugh would be bad for business.

and yes, UAH - I'm pretty convinced that's the only real reason he's doing this... fresh material for playing the victim...
