The Campaign Against Limbaugh: A Rush To Judgment?

Along with Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay, and Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank, NFL Players Association Executive Director DeMaurice Smith has denounced Rush Limbaugh's participation in a bid to buy the St. Louis Rams, encouraging NFL players to speak their minds about Limbaugh and "embrace their roles not only in the game of football but also as players and partners in the business of the NFL." At least seven players have taken that advice. At Politics Daily, Carl Cannon points out that Smith is Obama supporter who has worked closely with Attorney General Eric Holder. Cannon points to Smith's campaign against Limbaugh, and concludes in part that there's too much politics going on here...that the NFL is supposed to be free of all that.

But Limbaugh's style and substance both are polarizing on their own. The pros and cons of Limbaugh-as-owner are a discussion the NFL was bound to have: it kind of makes one wonder if that campaign would have gotten underway on its own, without the help of a Democratic NFLPA leader. Encouragement from the union signals that it's okay to speak up, but the NFL is full of personalities, and lots of interviews happen daily. One has to wonder if just as many members of the NFL family would offer their opinions without anyone telling them it's okay.

A big :thumbsdown: on this one.

My cousin works for an NFL team. The undercurrent is that the owners were all VERY concerned about the drama factor. Noting that most of them are to the right of right in their politics.

Limbaugh has been spewing his bile for two decades. It only took most of us a couple of years to see what he is.
Let the Dittohead crybabies blow snot bubbles til the cows come home.

on ESPN, he could be a team owner now. Fuck him.

"what we have here is a little social concern in the NFL. The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback can do well—black coaches and black quarterbacks doing well."

After the silly bastards said that, McNabb took his team to the Super Bowl.

"The PROS and cons of Limbaugh-as-owner. . . ?" What "pros?" Rush Limbaugh, the ultimate person who lives in a bubble, has found public outrage beyond what he thought existed, and rightly so. He is stunned today, even more than ever, by the reality of finding about his reputation in our society.

I hate him beyond hating, and have no sympathy. The fact that his sycophants ("dittoheads") are screaming for him to sue demonstrates both the pathetic emptiness of their lives and their intellects, and the hypocrisy of them for calling for "tort reform" except for a near-billionaire who they worship without skepticism. Pathetic, sad and screw 'em.

Yeah, I thought so too.

Thought I'd post it to show the spectrum of what's being said.

He is the greatest and most mean-spirited fraud of all time in this nation, and his dittoheads can't deal with him losing clearly and unequivocally. If I were going for a Ph.D. in psychology, this would be my thesis.

"
The black is a better athlete to begin with because he's been bred to be that way — because of his high thighs and big thighs that goes up into his back, and they can jump higher and run faster because of their bigger thighs. This goes back all the way to the Civil War when during the slave trading, the owner — the slave owner would breed his big black to his big woman so that he could have a big black kid.

We've come sooooo far since 1988.... :eyes:
