Rush Limbaugh Is Tackled Off Field By NFL Players
Posted on Oct 11, 2009 @ 03:26PM
Rush Limbaugh wants to own an NFL team. The St. Louis Rams to be exact. But the NFL players union is saying No Way to the controversial radio host.
Limbaugh and a business partner are among six bidders for the Rams. That brought out a letter from the executive director of the players union, DeMaurice Smith.
Rush Compared Barack Obama To A Monkey
In his letter, Smith wrote: "Sport in America is at its best when it unifies, gives us all reason to cheer.....our sport does exactly that when it overcomes division and rejects discrimination and hatred."
Missouri-native Limbaugh didn't exactly do that when, as an ESPN commentator in 2003 he said that Donovan McNabb didn't deserve to be the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback. He'd gotten the job, Limbaugh said, because the NFL was trying to show "a little social concern" and that the media was "desirous that a black quarterback do well." In reality, Limbaugh said, "There is little hope invested in McNabb."
For the record, McNabb -- who has also become a superstar with TV commercial deals -- is still the Eagles QB and led the team Sunday to a 33-14 win over Tampa Bay.
High profile star players like Tony Romo and Reggie Bush have not yet chimed in on the Limbaugh debate.

Al not so Sharp-ton is saying Rush is divisive and if he buys they (black players) won't play! Most of the players appear to be black but most of the ticket buyers appear to be white. If Rush can't own we won't come to the games!

Hmmm...too bad the players bites the hand that is willing to keep them afloat with needed cash.

This imbicle fries what little intelligence he had with drugs, hopes America's president fails, cheers with glee when the US didn't get the Olympics, and wants to get involved with sports..he deserves to spend time in one of Vick's dog fences
