Also, Rush doesn't seem to get it that the NFL doesn't need a polarizing figure as part of an ownership group.
It's says so in a little deal called "THE FIRST AMENDMENT," right there in the Declaration of Independence.
Yeah, fat boy -- just like the previous week, when they had their "hooks" in the Nobel Prize Committee.
Who'll it be next week, Limpballs?
Hey there El-Rushbo, The "vetting" process is what got you thrown overboard. The players said NO, the commissioner said NO. Will you ever see the light (I doubt it), you were vetted.
It was decided during the "vetting" process you are a raciest, and the NFL would rather you not be part of the league.
One more observation of the past few days I have. It stems from your raciest comment yesterday that players ought to be paying attention to who's paying them.
I think what you need to understand is that the players are the basically the only part of the team that "produces" revenue. Its those 50 or so guys, who bring the money into a team. So maybe, just maybe, they don't want a raciest to profit off of them.
The one thing that is hurting the right real bad is that the White Christian Male power structure has been reduced. Conservatism seems to be only about this. Even liberals can be fiscally "responsible". The white Christian male is just like any other person and they are not willing to accept this.
I remember some time ago that an OWNER of a baseball team had overwhelming racist views which she told everyone ever once in a while. Didn't the baseball league make her step down as the controlling owner and let someone else run the show or they would kick her team out of the league. What makes Limbaugh think he is better than anybody else. Oh I know...he is Rush Limbaugh and he thinks he is in a class all by himself...WELL HE IS AND THINK GOODNESS no one else wants to be there with him.
This man would cause more problems for the football league than the whole sum total of all the owners and players before him.He needs to go some where and shut up and we never hear from him again.
(how, I don't know.. not in 'wingnut mode' today)
First, I don't think it's his political views that caused the controversy but more his lack a patriotism. Anyone who has said "I hope he [Obama] fails" and has been against him every step of the way surely lacks patriotism. During a time when we are in two wars, people just don't tolerate lack of patriotism.
Second, I think this whole thing is designed to cause the controversy in the first place. He had no intention on getting involved with the team, he just wanted to try to point out hypocrisy. As we are getting down to the final votes on the Health Care bill, these guys on the right are starting to panic. By having Rush comes off as a victim, it really helps their cause.
