What is there to say? Rush Limbaugh got sandbagged by both the mainstream media and his business partners. Whether you’re a liberal or a conservative, you should care about the St. Louis Rams debacle and what happened to Rush. Rush was discriminated against just because he’s an outspoken conservative. In America, anyone should be able to purchase whatever they want, regardless of political ideology. I’m not a fan of Michael Moore, but if he wanted to buy the Detroit Lions he certainly has the right. There is a double-standard for conservative and liberals. You can read Rush’s recent article in The Wall Street Journal; he chronicles some of the more memorable remarks of the Revs. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. Of course, it turns out that many of the objectionable quotes reported by CNN and other news outlets were falsely attributed to Rush. The thought police are everywhere these days, including the NFL.

Tom,
Nice job on the blog man! I felt compelled to comment on this particular article because while we probably don’t agree on many issues politically I think you are right on with this one. To me it doesn’t really matter what the political ideology of any spots team owner is as long as they are going to do what they can to advance their team and subsequently the sport. I saw no evidence that Rush was going to not do that. In the end let’s face it its not as though all of the owners in all the different sports are “squeaky clean”. If Rush wanted to buy the Rams it was a non-issue for me who knows maybe he could have helped an otherwise failing franchise. I guess we’ll never know. Take care brother.
