This might be music to the Reverend Al Sharpton's ears: ESPN reports, "Rush Limbaugh is expected to be dropped from a group bidding to buy the St. Louis Rams, according to three NFL sources."
Further, "Dave Checketts, chairman of the NHL's St. Louis Blues and the point man in the Limbaugh group attempting to buy the Rams, realizes he must remove the controversial conservative radio host from his potential role as a minority member in the group in order to get approval from other NFL owners, the sources said." (Twenty-eight of the league's 32 owners would have support Checketts' bid.)
However, Limbaugh said on his radio show today, "I'm not even thinking of exiting. I'm not even thinking of caving. I am not a caver. None of us are. We have been betrayed by too many who have caved. Pioneers take the arrows. We are pioneers. It's a sad thing but our country over 200 years old now needs pioneers all over again, but we do."
A few people have come out against Limbaugh's inclusion in the bid, from Sharpton to Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay. Even NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said of Limbaugh's past divisive comments, "I think divisive comments are not what the NFL is all about. I would not want to see those kind of comments from people who are in a responsible position within the NFL. No. Absolutely not."




fatso dumbass motherfucker stupid
uh... open your eyes, he's not so fat anymore.
Guess all that Oxy burned off the weight!
Football fans pay billions of dollars every year to watch the lowest human scum of convicted murderers, rapists and animal torturers run around the field, but sheer mention of a guy who says some words on the radio getting involved and they're suddenly indignant.
This country is going to the shitter quicker than I thought.
Ha-ha caveman.
It's not conservative views that made this a problem, its his special flavor of viewpoints.
One of the most nauseating things of our times is the very wealth, white, famous male playing the victim. Don't forget to bring your parents with you to the gas chambers, Rush.
Poor, poor Rush. Maybe he'll sing a chorus of "Bohemian Waaaapsody"
So now- here in America. . . one's politican bent can be a factor in what one can buy- and cannot buy!
The greatest threat to individual feedom in America, is the Democrat National Party. Impeach OBAMA!
The St. Louis Rams give 98% of their political donations to Democrats (the highest percentage in the NFL, I believe).
Perhaps Rush is trying to put the kibosh on that?
