Limbaugh tried to become a minority owner of a professional football team and some of us behaved as if he was one of the young men caught on video beating Derrion Albert to death in the streets of Chicago.
I'm not a Limbaugh fan but I'm not upset over him being involved in purchasing a team either. I would simply give his squad the same amount of support I give his other projects -- none. There are just more pressing things to focus on.
If the NAACP or NFLPA speaks with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on societal or image matters, I would rather they talk about new ways to improve the public education system in cities where NFL teams are located than give an opinion on who buys a team.
Limbaugh may be a racist, but he is not the reason there are more black men in prison than in college. We are.

http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/10/15/granderson.limbaugh.civil.rights/index.html Mr. Granderson certainly has some good points here about how the community has to focus on the problems it faces today. However Limbaugh is a racist, a racist with a microphone who reaches millions of sycophants every day. To not stand up and hold Rush to the opprobrium is just enabling right wing racism.
