This is about as relevant to politics as Alec Baldwin considering a run for political office.

But it is political. You've said that Limbaugh speaks for many people on the right. That's a political statement. So, he put it in political terms so the righties could understand what he was saying, and bob their heads in agreement.  |

Be fair TW. You know I can't stand Limbaugh.

That's true - recently. There was a time that you kept saying how he had the pulse of the Republican Party.
Of course he still does according to the head bobbers.

I have to agree with May on the issue. His report on Little does show the way the league says one thing, does another.
As far as Limbaugh being a partial owner of the Rams, I don't honestly see a problem with it. It wouldn't be a political vehicle for him to use, and he does have rights like everyone else, even if his comments are over the top.

I don't think the NFL wants such a divisive person in thier "club." I think that if someone from the far left, the polar opposite of this clown, were to apply, the same reaction would occur. |

You're probably right on that. But over the years, the Rooneys and others have been political. Rooney has always been a vocal Democrat.
Maybe the idea is to insure that doesn't happen in the future. If the sword cuts both ways, I'd agree to it.

Because as a rich white man Limbaugh is not a minority. That's what people never get about issues of race, and class. There will always be a bigger leaning towards the minority because they are in fact the minority. If it didn't come into the equation we wouldn't have such a word with such a meaning.
Also, the players do still make the league. If this situation didn't end the way it did I believe more and more would speak up and it would be a bigger mess. Personally I don't care if he had a share in the team, but I can also see why some of the players wouldn't want to go there. That is not good for the NFL as a business. In the end, it's about whats best for the NFL.
