I kept hearing how the NFL and Al Sharpton didn't want Rush Limbaugh to own part of an NFL team. Why? What could he possible have done to the NFL's black players? Cause that seemed to be the main issues I kept hearing as to why he shouldn't be part owner of a team. What did they think was going to happen? Because Al Sharpton doesn't like Limbaughs opinions some how that makes his money inferior? I personally think it was childish and stupid that Al Sharpton even got evolved at all. As for the NFL the only real reason I can think of to deny Limbaugh is if he couldn't afford the ownership.
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee even went so far as to bring it up on the floor. Why? What did it have to do with anything that concerned the running of this country?
I think everyone made a mountain out of a mole hill. But that's politics it even steers private business dealings.

If he has enough of his own money to buy a team.....................let him do it.
Comparing the NFL players to the Crips v the Bloods probably wasn't the best phraseology he could have used in one comment!
He simply is the Antichrist to many leftists, it was laughable that the NFL which has major problems with player crimes and infractions thinks HE is too controversial.

Politics is everywhere and too many people in the NFL haven't the cajones to deal with him. The fake comments attributed to him didn't help any and the limp apologies for not checking them out first highlighted the media position on the issue.

Yeah, some years all we hear on the news day after day is about some football player somewhere shooting someone, being shot by someone, driving drunk, killing someone while drunk, doing drugs, being arrestd for doing em, going to jail for doing them, getting out of going to jail even though the wife is always bruised etc ad nauseum - and they get paid to act that way. Yeah, Football has a sparkling reputation to protect.
Then again, maybe all that is only going on in the AFL while the NFL players are each and every one the exact king of guy mom would want a girl to bring home for dinner (I'm thinking not but I could be wrong).
