Have any white football players pledged not to work for Rush Limbaugh?

This isn't a black thing or a white thing, it's an American thing. When Rush attacks one group of Americans, he attacks us all.

1. I heard

There are some who "say" they won't work for Rush, but as was pointed out when it comes down to not playing and not getting paid, that may just be a lot of talk. If they could unite together in protest, they may get the other owners to say no, they don't want him, and from what I heard all the other owners have to OK the purchase. That's just what I heard.

2. So if the black players refuse to play, they get paid anyways?

If it's important enough for the black players to take a stand, it should be important enough for all the players to take a stand.

3. It won't happen

Football players have (usually) spent a lifetime loving the game, living for the game, getting accolades for their skill, preparing for the next game, or the next season. They know that they have a very limited timeframe in which to be at their peak, and to make the big $$$. If the choice is to play for Limbaugh for multi-millions or do something else, or possibly nothing else, they will sign the contacts, and they will play their best.

Human nature trumps principles, every time.
