A near disaster was averted today as a group of investors bidding to buy the St. Louis Rams dropped the controversial conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh from their group.
This is great news to say the least.
If Limbaugh would have became a minority owner of the Rams, do you realize the negative implications that would have meant for the Rams organization and the NFL as a whole.
The NFL is made up largely of minorities, mostly being African Americans. How are these minorities playing for the Rams suppose to feel if one of their owners has nothing but hateful things to say about them? I know I wouldn't like working for someone who had ignorant views of myself and I wouldn't expect them to either.
Of course Limbaugh blasted out more rhetoric on his show this morning about how this is another example of President Obama's America. Get off your high horse, Rush.
The NFL did the right thing here by not allowing this guy to pollute the NFL with his horrible outlook on people who are different than him.
We're talking about a guy that once referred to the NFL as "a game between the Bloods and the Cripps without any weapons". Really? So you're grouping an entire class of hard working NFL players as gang members now. And this trash pollutes the air waves every morning and conservatives eat it up like candy.
Well Rush, have fun with your radio show because that's about all you can get these days. ESPN definitely didn't want you when they dropped you in 2003 for making degrading comments about Donovan McNabb, and apparently the NFL doesn't want you either.
