NFL-A: National Felons and Liberals Association

By
October 15, 2009

Time was when I never missed a Sunday. But I never really went back after the player's strike. Not like I did before, anyway. For a while I continued to watch the play-offs. Now I don't think much about it unless they happen to be on and there's a team I want to watch playing. Free agency started to ruin the game for old-timers, anyway. And the arrests and continued reliance on thugs and criminals also turned me off.

Personally, I'm not very bought into the story because of all that. But the notion that a prominent and non-racist conservative is unacceptable to them is just another nail in their coffin for me at this point. I guess they'd rather curry favor with the lying race baiters of the Left including Sharpton and Jackson.

A potential ownership group attempting to purchase the St. Louis Rams has dropped radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh as an investor.

The group includes Dave Checketts, the chairman of hockey's St. Louis Blues, and announced the decision to drop Limbaugh on Wednesday.

"Rush was to be a limited partner — as such, he would have had no say in the direction of the club or in any decisions regarding personnel or operations," Checketts said in a written statement. "This was a role he enthusiastically embraced.

"However, it has become clear that his involvement in our group has become a complication and a distraction to our intentions, endangering our bid to keep the team in St. Louis. As such, we have decided to move forward without him and hope it will eventually lead us to a successful conclusion."

Macsmind links ESPN and there's talk of Limbaugh suing for slander. I hope he does. The whole episode is pathetic and a sign of the liberal decay that plagues this country.

Tomorrow three separate groups, one in the St Louis area will begin boycotts of the NFL, games, merchandise etc. More on that later.  As I said yesterday I'm calling for conservatives everywhere to boycott the NFL through the 2009 season.  Remember it's not for Limbaugh but for the principle that we will not let liberal thugs spread lies and rumors and threaten the right of ownership of any American.

Today on the morning show we had hundreds of calls in support of Limbaugh and this is good from a South Florida radio audience. Many of them told us that they will too boycott the NFL. Further we received an email from a source which tells us that Limbaugh will be using that money set aside for the purchase to go after those who spread the false rumors by legal means.

    We need a list of the advertisers on the NFL. ESPN has allowed Sharpton spew his lies unchallanged. Oddly, ESPN has Keyshawn Johnson as its football commentator. Keyshawn Johnson has made several racist statements, including accusing the Jets of only throwing the ball to Wayne Chrebet because he was white. Keyshawn also called a black player who got along with the white coach an “Uncle Tom”.
    ESPN Hate Zone?
    Let us not forget the racist statements made by self-hater Keith Olbermann. MSNBC has libeled Rush and will hopefully pay in court. Chris Matthews actually discussed watching Limbaugh being murdered with glee!
    NFL National Felon League.
    Don’t buy your kids those jerseys this year. They were a ripoff at $80. I already bought one for my son of Reggie Wayne. I am thinking of tearing it to pieces and sending it to the pimp Ursay.

    This whole thing is ridiculous. Limbaugh is beloved by the right for his taunting of the left wing. It’s his entire shtick, saying outrageous things and driving people insane with rage over his antics. The left fall for it like chumps every time. You delight in this, encourage it.
    So accept both sides of it, he’s loathed by everyone who doesn’t already agree with him. Believe it or not, football is not a red state sport, it’s an American sport and some of us despise Limbaugh’s cheap blowhard script.
    Why pout over the obvious? That many of the players in the NFL and those watching the sport are the direct targets of his jibes? How insulting. How pathetic that you, delicate blogger, can’t grasp this.
    It’s just good business to make sports a non-partisan form of entertainment rather than having him grab a mike every sunday and mouth off and insult the people paying hundreds of dollars for good seats in the stadium or those trying (like you and me) to overlook the players’ greed and owner’s lust for stadium subsidies and a competitive monopoly?
    It’s one thing to hear his inane blather in the news and get angry over his mocking the handicapped or singing about magic negroes – it’s quite another to pay good $ and have him do it to your face.
    But you, right wing hack, never get tired of your tired tribalism, do you? Rush, provacateur, the eternal victim. Nobody plays the politics of victimhood better than the AWM. Go pout in the corner.
    Go ahead and remove this post. But the pathetic feature of this story is the hyper-partisanship of the right, who always find a way to cry about their team’s hardships.
    Man up, Riehl, admit he deliberately cultivates being offensive, and then your whole slander angle evaporates. He WANTS to piss off most of America, and when he does, it’s poor, poor little Danny Riehl et al, who look to the sky and can’t comprehend business 101: don’t insult your customers.

    http://tinyurl.com/5j2tyw nfl is keeping its powder dry and securing its flanks. i can’t wait to see how many more nfl owners are racists in 2011, i am sure sharpton and jackson will be the first to let us know.

  4. x11b1p says:

    business 101? Olberman does Sunday Night Football? Far left is calling him a misogonist http://tinyurl.com/yktc5ar. I guess women are not customers?

  5. Jim says:

    Good Bye NFL and the colts. I have gone to my last game and will not buy any products sponsored by them.

  6. Southen Values says:

    As a business owner, why would I want to alienate large percentages of my work force or be perceived as supporting policies inconsistent with the majority of my customer base? Rush’s standard routine leaves the audience with a strong sense of his beliefs. The fact that these beliefs, from a national perspective, are in the minority, makes this a very simple business decision. There’s no upside to the business risk of taking Rush’s money. Again, based on national statistics, the NFL runs the chance of pissing off more people than it would enamor having Rush as an owner. You know, when your party and the ideals they represent are in the minority, your opinion doesn’t carry mush weight.

  7. magoo says:

    You’ve nailed it, x11 -
    They are NOT, not to a significant degree in the NFL.
    Look, my point is not that the NFL is morally true and Rush the racial provacateur is uniquely corrupt.
    I am a Democrat but I am prepared to say that Obama is a failure, a major disappointment, already. The things I think that America stands for – do NOT include torture and rendition. We can disagree on that, and I’m sure we DO. But I voted for a breath of fresh air in the WH, and Obama is a conventional, status quo politician who will increase gov’t size as Bush and Clinton did, and continue to crush the middle class, as both of his predecessors did.
    The NFL has had its share of knuckleheaded loudmouths and has them now – but your point ignores the fact that maybe they’re trying to head this storm off at the pass – that racial comments polarize our country and who wants to have another idiot gasbag bomb-thrower insulting people when we just want to have fun and watch sports?
    Yes, it IS business 101. Rush is uniquely talented; he has cultivated an entire persona in polarizing huge groups of people; that is his being, his essence. He never engages in honest debate because he can’t, it is his style to self-promote and hide among the converted.
    If women became a bigger group of NFL watchers, you better believe that the NFL would axe Olberman the idiot, too.
    The NFL players are themselves disproportionately black, (around 2/3 in 2009) – WHY alienate not only the viewers (some of whom are female), but the elite players themselves? No reason at ALL. VERY bad for business indeed.
    If Rush couldn’t be a Monday night commentator – he mouthed off his first telecast – how could he muzzle himself and be a good sport as an owner?
    It’s not his nature – he is a small man who must demean others to make himself big. He would delight, as an owner, in poking a stick in the hapless liberal fans of the NFL as he does on his show.
    Why don’t you understand this? When has Rush EVER been a classy guy? This is why I despise him, and others like him.
    I’d love to see Olberman disappear from MSNBC, too. Cable TV would be good to vanish altogether, imho. All of it is bad for America.
    That was my point – I’m not partisan and a reflexive defender of my ‘team’ – I can see the poison on my side. Can you? I doubt it, rush-defender.
    I’d like to see idiotic partisanship vanish from mainstream and decent broadcasting, but this is the opposite of the prevailing media trends. We’re splitting as a country and we seem on the whole to want it that way. Why swing the axe and chop our stadiums and ballparks in half too?
    I am exhausted with Tom Delay/Karl Rove 50+1 hostility, tired of feeling that I am not an American in the eyes of the right wing. Oh well. I wish I could find a way to emphasize my love of this country with the GOP but I can’t, they don’t want to. Better to cheer losing the Olympics and to mock the Nobel as un-American while eating your freedom fries.
    It’d be nice to have one arena (literally) of our civic life remain undivisive and good-natured. But you want Rush in, who you know would surely begin throwing bombs and make the game about HIM.
    Enough. However idiotic Olberman’s misogyny is, it’d pale in magnitude to the vitriol Rush would bring into the sport. The NFL is right to keep the NFL from becoming a regional sport like it is already on its way to becoming a regional party.
    My wish: get rid of all of the partisans, Olberman, Rush, and all the other loudmouths too. But the NFL is a legal monopoly and the owners have the right to keep him out. And they’re right to do so – because Rush’s level of ugliness would ratchet up the nastiness to a new level. But we already know baseball is bankrupt and football is close behind.
    Why not let Rush in and let him finish off the league, I guess, right?

  8. Barbara says:

    I see so you can pile on and trash Glenn Beck but are outraged when Rush
    is?
    your arch enemy is one of the leading DEFENDERS of Rush Dan.
    Get a grip you are a better man that you have been of late.
    know the enemy

  9. Gary says:

    Magooey, you have never listened to Rush, you’ve only listened to the idiots that talk about and spread bullshit about him and other conservatives. If you listened you would know that most of his schtick is parody from an conservative angle, not unlike SNL, and heavily political. This smeer campaign is not about race it is about trying to deligitimize conservatives to a base of people who don’t follow politics. These race baiters are the polerizers looking for that little extra vote for thier side. Rush is strong NFL fan, and has promoted the games heavily on his radio show. I garantee you he won’t boycott the NFL, but i will for the rest of this year. Race baiters suck.

  10. Southen Values says:

    So if Rush isn’t a racist – I guess he just plays one on the radio.

  11. Lel says:

    Magoo, The sooner football and the NFL fails, the better, as far as I’m concerned. The salaries these athletes make are ridiculous. I hate football and all of the other sports that have become nothing but a way for the owners and players to get rich. Part of the reason I hate football is the commentators, who are given a stage to spout hate like Keyshawn Jackson. So is the One going to bail out the NFL when it goes belly-up? As far as I’m concerned, Rush or anyone else who loves football the way he does is a nut, but he’s no worse than any of the other idiots involved in NFL ownership and promotion. The whole situation is like the left and the right both trying to claim that THEY are the ones who REALLY love America, and the other side doesn’t. The left just started their love-affair with America 10 months ago, so I guess the right-wingers are the wife and the left-wingers are the mistress. Before Obama became President, the left-wingnuts hated America, just like Michelle Obama. The Nobel Appeasement Prize is a good example of this. It’s not only the right-wing saying the One didn’t deserve it. As far as I can see, not getting the Olympics in Chicago was not a failure. Why should we spend that much money (much of which would have been in the pockets of Chicago politicians, not citizens) to build sports venues that would have been standing empty after the games? With the jobless rate soaring in the US, I don’t know many people who would be foolish enough to buy NFL tickets, anyway. Goodbye, NFL! Hope you never come back! I won’t miss you.

  12. templar knight says:

    As an aside, what the hell is Southen Values?
    As a fact, when a person in the United States of America can be prevented from engaging in economic activity strictly for being conservative, then we have returned to the Jim Crow days, and I guarantee you liberals are going to be punished in exactly the same way when conservatives get back in power. After all, you liberals are the ones who have brought Jim Crow back. Once the pandora’s box is opened, and you sorry liberals opened it wide, it will not be shut again. Shame on your sorry asses!

  13. southdakotaboy says:

    The thing is Magoo and Southen Values the quotes that were used to justify attacking Rush at first were not true. He never said them. There is no audio or video that has Rush saying these things on his show like it was claimed. So what we have here is an example of the left just making stuff up in order to attack a person they don’t like.
    If you two defend this then the left has set the new rules and we on the right will now play by those rules.
    That right there should scare you on the left. For years you on the left have done nothing but try and stab conservatives in the back and work to cause this country to fail. Now the shoe is on the other foot and we plan on returning the favor. Whine about civility all you want you reap what you sow.
    We will pay you scum back in spades for ruining this country.

  14. Southen Values says:

    Templar
    Southern Values is a euphemism capturing the sum total of the narrow minded and bigoted world view I was raised in. ( always call you mother “maam”, wipe your feet before entering the house and never screw standing up because it leads to dancing ).
    Rush is not being prevented from engaging in economic activity strictly for being conservative, he is being denied because it would be bad for business. As I wrote before – why would a business owner want to alienate large percentages of his work force or be perceived as supporting policies inconsistent with the majority of his customer base? Outside of the hard right, Rush is not liked.
    Lastly, my opinion of Obama has diminished in large part because he has not been progressive enough. I know you don’t share that opinion, however, if the watered down policies he’s trying to enact ends up improving the economic viability of a majority of Americans, movement Conservatism will not recover soon.

  15. Swibbie says:

    Magoo, the ONLY people that are making this partisan are people like you. If you would actually listen to Rush, you would realize that all of your vitriolic screed about him is not true. But then who would have to hate?
    If you are not smart enough to realize that preventing a private individual from a legitimate business venture just because of his political views is bad for America, then you are are not qualified to lecture anybody to “man up”.
    The truth is, you are not qualified to lecture anybody about anything. It is clear you are just another hate-filled, un-informed liberal spewing talking points that you heard somewhere.

  16. Southen Values says:

    Southdakotaboy
    “We will pay you scum back in spades for ruining this country.” That’s a lot of anger for one person. Maybe you should call into Rush’s program and get that all off your chest.

  17. Mike2Cents says:

    Sure, now you need to put the hate on the NFL – come up w/ lame unfunny changes on that acronym…
    and all because they didn’t roll out with glee the red carpet for one of your beloveds.
    What’s next, a blacklist for any restaurant that kept Mark Levin waiting too long for his meal?
    I know Rush mentioned your blog once, but this brown-nosing is a little much.
    He’s still not gonna invite you on his plane.
    Just send him some flowers and leave everyone else out of it.

  18. Joseph Brown says:

    Pro football? That’s still around? Do they still have that game at the end of the season, called, I believe, the Superbowl or Supperbowl? I stopped watching years ago, so I’m not that up to date.
    Southern Values, as another southerner who was raised to be polite to my elders and to actually thank people for doing us a favor, I have to say I don’t remember reading such horse manure as you’ve posted on this blog. You’re welcome.

  19. Southen Values says:

    Swibbie
    How is “preventing a private individual from a legitimate business venture just because of his political views” bad for America” ? Is a successful business bad for America? In a global marketplace, brand is everything. If I owned a steak house franchise, I would have the president of PETA as part of my operation. You only see the issue because you agree with Rush. The majority of people in this country don’t share that opinion. Again, as a business owner, it makes no sense to market to a minority as the expense of the majority.

  20. Southen Values says:

    Mr. Brown
    I’m not sure how you’ve determined our relative ages but simply not agreeing to my posts does not equal being impolite.
    Also, what favor are you referring to?

  21. Swibbie says:

    Southern Value,
    I never, ever knew that calling your mother “maam”, and wiping your feet before you enter the house was “narrow minded and bigoted”. Thanks for clearing that up. (in case you didn’t get it, that was sarcasm…you never can be too sure with liberals).
    And WTH are you babbling about “marketing to a minority”. The market for the NFL is the players, NOT the owners. If you libs think that people actually investigate the political leanings of the owners before they decide to root for a team, then you are beyond help.
    But I suppose that is par for the course for liberals like you. You see EVERYTHING through a partisan lens, and then lecture everybody else to keep politics out of it. You cannot parody such nonsense.

  22. xerocky says:

    “You know, when your party and the ideals they represent are in the minority, your opinion doesn’t carry mush weight.”
    Then what’s the problem with letting him a) speak his mind and b) do what he wants to do money wise? If he wants to own a team, let him own a team. Who cares? He’s in the minority, right?
    Either he pisses off too many people, or he’s insignificant. Not that I care much for Rush, but you can’t have it both ways.

  23. Dan Riehl says:

    I don’t know why liberals even care about this. They all suck soccer balls anyway.

  24. xerocky says:

    “if the watered down policies he’s trying to enact ends up improving the economic viability of a majority of Americans, movement Conservatism will not recover soon. ”
    Yeah, go ahead, hold your breath.

  25. Joseph Brown says:

    Southern Value, you brought up things we were taught in the ’50s.
    I never called my mother nor any female relatives, maam. That was reserved and is still reserved for women that I don’t know. We southerners call it…respect.
    I’d like some proof and I mean some actual proof that Rush ever said what you’ve claimed. Sounds alot like all that other hogwash attributed to him that actually was dreamed up by one scammer called, Cobra.
    By the way, I’m 73 and you are?

  26. xerocky says:

    “How is “preventing a private individual from a legitimate business venture just because of his political views” bad for America” ?”
    Sure many of the players are black, but how many of the folks who watch the sport are white? Most right? Do all of those white people like Mike Vick as a person? Was letting him play “good for business”? Who knows? What he did was horrible, but for some reason it’s over, the game goes on.
    Did you read Dan’s post?
    “”Rush was to be a limited partner — as such, he would have had no say in the direction of the club or in any decisions regarding personnel or operations,” Checketts said in a written statement. “This was a role he enthusiastically embraced. ”
    I don’t understand what Rush would have done to change anything for them. They just don’t like his name because some people don’t like him and now his money isn’t green enough. This is “bad for America” because it’s like there’s a warning out there about saying things that other people may not agree with, keep your mouth shut. If you don’t like Rush don’t listen to his show. I’m not a follower of Rev. Moon, but I still go to Wa Wa.
    If I found that Wa Wa was picking on one group or another, I’d be inclined to not go there anymore. It’s about fairness and free speech.

  27. Southen Values says:

    Swibbie
    The market I was referring to was the fans. And if that fan base is characteristic of the general population, most don’t like Rush. As a business owner, I would shy away from un-necessary controversy. You already have the issue of players being seen as spoiled, running dog fighting operations and engaged in other criminal acts. I don’t personally don’t care if Rush owned a part of a team. It would have no impact on my support or patronage of the game. But if I was an owner, I’d not support any left or right personality when that personality was going to be focused on as the expense of my business.

  28. Southen Values says:

    “I don’t know why liberals even care about this. They all suck soccer balls anyway.”
    Dan – don’t you know we liberals are such strong multi-culturist’s that we call soccer football.

  29. Southen Values says:

    Everybody has to agree that Rush is controversial. It is what he does and it assures his ratings. If I was a NFL owner, I’d not support Michael Moore as well ( and I certainly agree more with his politics ). The simple fact is any controversy in this manner does not support my brand or the value proposition I’m trying to sell to the market.

  30. seekeronos says:

    Multiculturalism destroys nations, and is the ruin of empires.
    The American culture that was built upon the finest traditions of the Judaeo-Christian faith, the values of the predominantly Anglo-Saxon original (European) settlers, tied together with the best bounds of Greco-Roman civic laws and English Common Law is what should rule the land, not the accommodation and hand-wringing over exalting the various minority cultures as equal to, and often superior to the dominant culture.

  31. Swibbie says:

    Souhern Values
    Most of the fan base don’t like Michael Vick. Most of the fan base don’t like Keith Olbermann. Nobody’s screeching to keep them from participating in the NFL.
    As a business owner, if you would “shy away from un-necessary controversy”, you would not have brought this whole thing up. This “controversy” was NOT created by Rush. It was created by liberals like you, who made it a controversy by spreading lies about what Rush said on his show. Your whole argument is dripping with hypocricy.
    I really suspect you have no clue how business works. When you interview somebody for a position, you want to find the best person for the job. If you owned a steak house and served a good steak at a reasonable price, what the hell would I care if you had a member of PETA, or even Keith Olbermann, on your board?? Why would I even want to know that??
    I stand by my comment that this is “bad for America”, because now we are punishing people for their political views. (Not “we”, but “you” certianly are). If Keith Olbermann wanted to buy the Tennessee Titans, I bet we would not hear a peep from you liberals. The sad part is that you would not hear a peep from me, or oonservatives like me, either. That is the difference between us.
    Not everything is partisan.

  32. Southen Values says:

    Seekeronos
    So that “all men are created equal” stuff was just founding father dribble? And how do you reconcile the tenets of your Judaeo-Christian faith with your opinion of Americans that are not white?

  33. templar knight says:

    I’ll tell you what, Mr. Southen(sic) Values. I’m 40 years old and I still say yes sir and yes ma’am to:
    A. People who are older than me, because I respect them.
    B. People who are doing business with me, because I appreciate them.
    C. My parents, because they taught me to do just that, from the time I was a child.
    D. People who I am meeting for the first time, as it shows I value them.
    As for you, you’re an idiot for even making such a statement. Yes sir, you are!

  34. Badger says:

    Now this is pure unadulterated racist BS.
    This PC BS has now incorporated itself in our beloved NFL?
    This has now blown past the point of embarrassment and on to the point of absurdity. No more dialogue, no more guilt by association for something done over 150 years ago.
    Quite frankly as an employer of 2300 folks with full benefits in California no less, how can I keep this racist dynamic in a non emotive stance or category? How can I continue to smile all the while I’m the bad guy with these entitlement elitist groups within my own organization yet I’m the one signing the checks?
    Obama was going to bring this country together huh? Was no one around here in the 60′s? Well I was and the current atmosphere is making the 60′s look like elementary school recess. Is it Game on? I don’t know but whatever the next collective steps will be won’t be pretty IMO…
    I’m pretty much done…..

  35. Southen Values says:

    Swibbie – that’s absurd
    “It was created by liberals like you, who made it a controversy by spreading lies about what Rush said on his show.”
    It doesn’t even matter, at this point, what exactly Rush has or has not said. Rush is controversial. And this perception is what matters. A few years ago, Proctor & Gamble had to quite using a logo they had for over 100 years because they could not break the perceived opinion that it supported the occult. They had no choice. They could spend time and money educating the public about a 100 year old logo, at the expense of not focusing on their value to the market, or spend their finite resources arguing perception.
    I don’t see Rush’s political views as having anything to do with this. As I said, I would not support Michael Moore either. I am a very successful business person because I focus on aligning my product set to the markets they serve. This is not partisan, this is business.

  36. Swibbie says:

    Southen – OF COURSE it matters what Rush said. You libs spread lies about it, and then complain that Rush is controversial. I bet you don’t even see the irony of that.
    We are not talking about a company logo. We are talking about a part owner who “would have had no say in the direction of the club or in any decisions regarding personnel or operations”. Do you really not understand the difference?
    Rush’s political views have EVERYTHING to do with this. And you know it. You have just wrapped yourself into a pretzel by you PC “logic”, that you have lost any kind of rational thinking you may have had.
    The diffference between me and you is that I would not care if it was Michael Moore either. I’m sure the NFL would not care, either. But somehow they care if it is Rush. And they base their “logic” on what somebody told them Rush said. But to you, “It doesn’t even matter, at this point, what exactly Rush has or has not said”.
    Typical liberal. Don’t confure me with the facts, my mind is made up. The truth is you don’t know what “Rush has or has not said”. You heard somebody tell you what Rush said, and even though it’s been proven to be a lie, it does not stop you from believing it.

  37. Logic says:

    Southern Values–
    Why do you prove to be so ignorant? I don’t mean that in a degrading way. I mean it because you obviously are trying to use short-hand logic with no concept of factual background. Since your argument is purely conjecture, I will just prove to you how ignorant and back-boneless your argument is.
    You say “he is being denied because it would be bad for business.” Based on an assumption made by you and Checketts, how do they know this to be beyond any reasonable doubt? What is to say that Rush cannot bring MORE money to the NFL and the Rams? He is very connected and I am sure he could use his resources to raise money at a moments notice.
    Actual committed crimes. You still get a chance to partake in the league, in spite of concrete evidence that you did something wrong. Speech, not so much. No chance. Is that the road you want to go down? Really?
    As for partisan, Herb Kohl owns the Milwaukee Bucks. I am not a fan of him. He is a horrible liberal Senator. Do conservatives, Republicans, or anyone who oppose his views or votes boycott or protest his team? I certainly do not care and go to Bucks games from time to time. Mark Cuban? Makes a horrible video about troops. Still an owner. I don’t see it hurting the NBA’s image. I don’t see this hurting the image of the NFL. I could careless if George Soros wanted to own a team.
    As for you running a business. I lean right on fiscal/monetary issues. I would have no problem signing Michael Moore to a contract. He has a market, he has connections. I would hope the NFL would not make the same example out of him as they did Rush. Poor choice and a good way to send a chilling message to free speech.

  38. Terrye says:

    Southern Values:
    I am not a huge fan. But he is not a racist. I have however, heard plenty of racists on the left. And the truth is they are just used to get away with that crap.
    This is ridiculous and there are a lot of people out there who are fans of Rush’s who probably feel as if they have been insulted too because they listen to him.
    People like you are so hateful. You really are.

  39. Terrye says:

    And this stuff about Rush being controversial?? For what the National Felons League? That is just absurd.

  40. Southen Values says:

    Logic / Swibbie
    So you honestly think the NFL owners took the position they did because of Rush’s political views?
    Those political views were only as relevant as the owners belief of how Rush would affect their bottom line. I don’t know any of them personally, however, if they felt Rush would be financially helpful to the NFL, they wouldn’t give a rats ass what any opposition was blathering on about. If he would help the bottom line, he’d be in. It was obviously felt that his upside support from a minority who strongly support his views would not be off set by those that wouldn’t.

    Maybe if he weren’t a doctor shopping, hillbilly-heroin using hypocrite that also got caught with someone else’s viagra returning from the Dominican Republic. Gee, what’s a middle-aged guy taking viagra to the Dominican for? Then there’s his record of repeatedly insulding minorities. The wonderful guy also made fun of Michael J. Fox – Parkinson victim. And his one foray into the NFL pretty much ended in disaster.

    Yeah, well, the smell test is this. If the liberals, being the dipshits they are, really had anything on Rush, they wouldn’t have fabricated these statements. If you assholes on the Left can’t see this, and I know you can’t, you’re worthless. Yep, you’re worthless!
    And there is going to be hell to pay.

    To whom Templar? An America moving away from the Right?
    This thread had nothing to do with having “anything on Rush”. If had everything to do with the corporate money interests of the NFL not wanting the “overhead” of Rush. What’s worthless is countering solid arguments with discombobulated mumbo jumbo and veiled threats.

    I watched my last NFL game this past Monday night. Starting this week I will only watch College Football. I called the NFL today and left a message in a generic voicemail box expressing my disappointment.

    mr. magoo lets see, you sterotyped me by claiming to know how I feel about rendition or torture becuase I am what a conservative veteran then you blast rush for sterotyping others hmmmm. so let me do some sterotyping myself since you opened the door – stay off the crack and kiddie porn its clouding your ability to reason.

  47. Southern Values is a euphemism capturing the sum total of the narrow minded and bigoted world view I was raised in. ( always call you mother “maam”, wipe your feet before entering the house and never screw standing up because it leads to dancing ).
    Actually, you’re incorrect. It’s an attempt at an excuse for explaining why you are such a narrow-minded bigot, which is why you support and endorse rapists, murderers, spousal abusers, and the other people represented as mainstream values in the NFL.
    “I am a very successful business person because I focus on aligning my product set to the markets they serve.”
    Actually, you’re a complete and utter failure who lives on welfare, as you’ve admitted elsewhere. I daresay that’s why you post such regular diatribes against Jews and actual successful businesspeople.

    Is that illegal now? I had no idea. I thought that you could still speak your mind.

    Not in liberal America, xerocky. The words of liberals stand on their heads. They were for free speech before they were against it. Take note of the new hate crimes legislation moving through Congress. These apes on the Left no more believe in free speech than they believe in free association. They ban conservative speakers on college campuses, yet they are free to do and say whatever they want. It is time for these hypocritical apes to be thrown into the dustbin of history.
