Personally, I've missed the sort of overt, over-the-top racism in professional sports ownership we haven't had since Margie "I've never referred to any of my porchmonkeys as niggers" Schott.
My brother-in-law, diehard St. Louis sports fan, is having gas over it.
Some excerpts from around the world of sports:
QuoteNo reason to deny him
John Altavilla, Hartford Courant
As Rush Limbaugh would be the first to say, the foundation of the United States is based on principles laid out by our forefathers. Included in these unalienable rights, although not specifically spelled out in the pre-expansion days of the 18th century, is the right to buy a chunk of the St. Louis Rams.
Therefore, why should our foremost ultra-conservative be prohibited, based solely on any objection to his viewpoint, from buying a piece of anything he wants. As Rush says, this a country whose growth is rooted in the initiative of capitalists. So let him in. But what happens if a liberal wants a beer, an Obama voter a hot dog, a supporter of health care reform a luxury suite?
We know one thing. The offense will be conservative. And coaches, not known for running a democratic system, will be right at home.
QuoteHe would be a perfect fit
Sam Farmer, Los Angeles Times
Rush Limbaugh? The owner of an NFL team?
Let me get this straight, you're talking about an egotistical blowhard with mountains of money, somebody who thinks he's the smartest guy in every room and isn't afraid to act like it, who takes a my-way-or-the-highway to every problem, who wouldn't be afraid to charge top dollar regardless of what type of product he puts on the field, who would threaten to uproot his team if his community doesn't pony up hundreds of millions of dollars to help pay for a state-of-the-art stadium?
Rush Limbaugh as an NFL owner?
Should fit in fine.
QuoteCharacter no prerequisite
Dan Pompei, Chicago Tribune
If Rush Limbaugh is qualified to own a part of an NFL franchise based on his financials and his business acumen, his opinions should have nothing to do with whether or not he is approved. Last I checked, this is America, and there is this thing called the First Amendment which guarantees freedom of speech.
If Limbaugh believes, as he once said, that the white media wants black quarterbacks like Donovan McNabb to succeed, that is his right. Anyone who sees it differently can disagree with him, and it should have nothing to do with his eligibility for owning a team. Why should anyone be penalized because they don't agree with the politically correct answers, or they don't fall in line with the mainstream opinions? If you don't like what Limbaugh says, don't listen to him. But don't try to prevent him from taking advantage of a business opportunity.
QuoteHe would be interesting
Dave Hyde, Sun Sentinel
Rush Limbaugh would be a great NFL owner-at least for me. He'd be a walking, talking lightning rod. He'd be worth a dozen columns a year with the stuff he says, just like left-hanging Michael Moore would if he bought a team.
Limbaugh once said an NFL game was like watching a fight between the "Bloods and the Crips without any weapons." He once said slavery wasn't such a bad thing - "Quite the opposite: It built the South." That's the daily stuff beyond his ESPN line that the media propped up Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb because he is black. The NFL's problem with Limbaugh is obvious: He comes with a cost. Many fans, sponsors - and don't forget players - wouldn't want to be associated with him. And you blame them?
QuoteBlack NFL players crush prospect of playing for a Rush Limbaugh-owned St. Louis Rams
Mathias Kiwanuka loves his former defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, but the Giants' defensive end says he will never play for Spagnuolo's Rams if Rush Limbaugh purchases the team.
Kiwanuka and the Jets' Bart Scott made it clear Thursday that they would never play for the Rams or any team owned by the controversial conservative radio host.
"All I know is from the last comment I heard, he said in (President) Obama's America, white kids are getting beat up on the bus while black kids are chanting 'right on,'" Kiwanuka told The Daily News. "I mean, I don't want anything to do with a team that he has any part of. He can do whatever he wants, it is a free country. But if it goes through, I can tell you where I am not going to play."
"I am not going to draw a conclusion from a person off of one comment, but when it is time after time after time and there's a consistent pattern of disrespect and just a complete misunderstanding of an entire culture that I am a part of, I can't respect him as a man."
Limbaugh said on Tuesday that he is joining former Knicks president and Madison Square Garden CEO Dave Checketts in a group bidding to purchase the Rams. Checketts, who owns the NHL's St. Louis Blues, is heading the group, reportedly one of many bidders. The potential sale is still in an early stage. If the Rams are sold, St. Louis will choose one bidding group, which will then be subject to a vote by the NFL's 32 owners, with approval needed by 24 of them.
Limbaugh's controversial comments are well-known. He resigned from ESPN in 2003 after he said the media were "very desirous that a black quarterback do well" in reference to Philadelphia's Donovan McNabb being overrated. "If he's rewarded to buy them, congratulations to him," McNabb said during his weekly press conference. "But I won't be in St. Louis anytime soon."
Scott says players remember what Limbaugh said, and adds that the NFL would be wise not to allow the nationally syndicated host into the league. "It's an oxymoron that he criticized Donovan McNabb," Scott said. "A lot of us took it as more of a racial-type thing. I can only imagine how his players would feel. I know I wouldn't want to play for him. He's a jerk. He's an ---. What he said (about McNabb) was inappropriate and insensitive, totally off-base. He could offer me whatever he wanted, I wouldn't play for him. ... I wouldn't play for Rush Limbaugh. My principles are greater and I can't be bought."
Limbaugh, who grew up in Missouri about 100 miles south of St. Louis, is an avid sports fan who once said that "the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons."
Kiwanuka cringes at the idea of Limbaugh becoming an NFL owner. "They are flat-out racist," Kiwanuka said of many of Limbaugh's statements. "He jumps on Obama and he jumps on other people for being racist. But a lot of the comments that he said, I feel like they have no place in journalism. It is just an opinion show that should be only be taken for shock value. I liken it to 'South Park' when I am listening to him."
"I love Spags and would play for him in a heartbeat, but under that situation ... obviously trades you have no control over, but if it was a free-agent thing, I wouldn't care if I only had one offer on the table, I would rather stay a free agent."
What say you?
I say McNabb's overrated.
How many of the Eagles quit the team when Vick joined?
It's easy for these guys now to say they won't play for the Rams. A lot tougher when the Rams come along offering them the best deal. Especially as Limbaugh won't even be the principal owner.

Considering how close San Diego and LA are to each other and how well developed the corridor between them is, it's not that much of a stretch to call them a single metro area.

"Our words do damage?" The Son of Satan ought to know.
QuoteIrsay against Limbaugh's bid
Colts owner says he would not vote to approve radio host for stake in Rams
BOSTON - Rush Limbaugh's bid to buy the St. Louis Rams ran into opposition within the NFL on Tuesday. Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay vowed to vote against him and commissioner Roger Goodell said the conservative commentator's "divisive" comments would not be tolerated from any NFL insider.
"I, myself, couldn't even consider voting for him," Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay said at the owners meetings. "When there are comments that have been made that are inappropriate, incendiary and insensitive ... our words do damage, and it's something that we don't need."
Limbaugh has long been a hero of conservatives and villain to the left, thriving on his place in the political spectrum while establishing himself as one of the most successful broadcasters in history. But the NFL tries to avoid controversy, as Limbaugh learned in 2003 when he was forced to resign from ESPN's Sunday night football broadcast after saying of Philadelphia's Donovan McNabb: "I think what we've had here is a little social concern in the NFL. The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well."
"Divisive comments are not what the NFL is all about," commissioner Roger Goodell said. "I would not want to see those kind of comments from people who are in a responsible position in the NFL."
Limbaugh also said, according to transcripts posted on his Web site: "The NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it." That comment, and others, resurfaced this month when he revealed he is teaming with St. Louis Blues owner Dave Checketts to bid on the Rams.
Goodell said the Rams updated the league on the progress of their potential sale, but bidders were not discussed.
"They're not certain they are even sellers," New York Giants co-owner Steve Tisch said, adding that he expected a decision by the end of the season. "We can't speculate on potential owners because they have not brought up any names to put before ownership. It's out there, but without confirmation from the Rams or the Rosenbloom family, frankly, we don't know who the potential buyers are."
Patriots owner Robert Kraft referred questions about Limbaugh to the commissioner. Texans owner Bob McNair said anyone who meets the "normal criteria" is a candidate to own a team.
"But our vetting process is very thorough," he said.
Prominent blacks are already lining up against Limbaugh, including the Revs. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. NFL Players Association head DeMaurice Smith, who also is black, urged players to speak out against Limbaugh's bid, and several have already said they would not play for his team.
But Irsay is the first owner who has stated unequivocally he would reject Limbaugh if it comes up for a vote. Prospective owners must be approved by 24 of the league's 32 teams.
Irsay said at first that he would consult with people he respected, such as defensive lineman Dwight Freeney, coach Jim Caldwell and former coach Tony Dungy, all of whom are black. But later, the owner said he did not need to get anyone else's input before rejecting someone who made a habit of "demonizing individuals."
"I met Rush only once. He seemed like a nice guy to me and all those kind of things," Irsay said. "It's bigger than the NFL. As a nation, and as a world, we've got to watch our words and our thoughts. They can do damage."
You know, all this talk is actually making me more sympathetic towards Rush.

So Michael Vick, who tortured, abused and killed dogs, was convicted of a felony and served 2 years at Leavenworth not only deserved, but had some kind of God-Given right to play in the NFL; but Rush Limbaugh (who I can't stand FWIW) shouldn't even be able to be a minority owner in the league? What A crock of shit, not that is new coming from those two.
Rush should have every right in the world to enter a bid to buy a team; the other 31 owners should have every right in the world to tell him to pack sand and not let him to so.
This will be entertaining, no matter how it turns out for Limbaugh being a part owner. Not sure I care either way though. There seem to be worse team owners anyway.
I have to say despite me enjoying the dog and pony show it would be ridiculous for the NFL to block Limbaugh from being part owner simply because he says things that insult most of the players. If being a repulsive human being was a disqualifier for being a NFL owner we would have to force 3/4 of the owners in the league to sell.

Well the controversy here is the players are pissed off at Limbaugh so the Player's Union is raising a stink. So the question you should ask yourself is if the NBA players are going to bothered by Jay Z's lyrics and you have your answer.

No, not really.
I guess Limbaugh is looking to take legal action against those who spread untrue stuff about what he's said. No idea if he has any case for libel. But I guess much of it is supposedly not true, according to at least some people who have tried to find any documentation on some of what he reportedly said. Again, I don't care much either way, but it may get more entertaining.

The point is moot, as the group trying to buy Rams gave Rush the boot.
Yeah that is sorta sad.
No, not really.
Well, not really. Then again, the NFL deserves the humiliation.

Well the thing that got the players pissed was the thing he said on TV about McNabb...kind of hard to deny that one.
