Rush Limbaugh’s NFL Bid Scuttled
Conservative radio icon Rush Limbaugh’s bid to purchase the St. Louis Rams has come to an end. After sources first told Sports Illustrated about the impending end of the deal, Limbaugh’s limited partner Dave Checketts confirmed the story to the AP. He said that Limbaugh’s participation in the ownership group had become a complication to their effort.
News of Limbaugh’s bid was met with stiff opposition from many quarters, including players, other owners, and a host of Limbaugh’s opponents who view him as a racist.
While the right has decried some shaky sourcing on quotes attributed to Limbaugh in order to portray him as a racist, there are plenty of rock-solid examples of Rush’s racially charged rhetoric.
This result isn’t surprising considering what happened the last time warnings about Rush and the NFL were ignored. It almost makes you wonder if Limbaugh ever really expected to get within ten yards of an NFL team ownership.

Jabba the Rush Strikes Out!
syndicate says: No doubt the fact that Rush is a conservative and a deep and lucid thinker, speaker, and author make it worse. Imagine the outrage when an NFL owner is heard speaking clear and simple truths !
CaptainAmerica says: Too bad Tommy and others in the liberal media could care less about real racists like Rev Jeremiah Wright. Gasp, didn’t Obama attend a racist, black separatist church for 20 years??!
When Glen Beck calls Obama what he is the liberal media get outraged and one nutcase group launched a failed boycott against him.
The left loves to throw out the word racist/racism, but in reality the ones who are the worst racists/ and protector of those are THE LEFT!
Jelperman says: Rush Lardass’ fanboys need to pick up the phone and dial Whine-1-1. Limp-balls is a white supremacist creep and an industry that is made up of mostly black players wants no part of his racist bullshit.
