Rush was dropped from the group of investors looking to purchase the St. Louis Rams. They said he became "a complication."
Rush was lynched by a bunch of false accusers.
The racists/facists are winning in persecuting freedom-loving Americans.
I have still NOT seen this confirmed by Rush and until I do, I have serious doubts that this is true.
The NFL gives “second chances” only to thugs, murderers, rapists, drunks, druggies, felons, dog killers, and steroid junkies...but a conservative talk show host who wants to use his own money to buy a team that is the worst in the league?
The power of anti-truth propagandists, their co-conspirators AND their despicable crickets-chirping enablers.
(Rush, you should’ve seen this coming after the Senate Liars letter)
I hope Rush investigates all avenues of possible legal action. Who outed him? Find them and prosecute to the fullest extent of the law if possible.
Perhaps he should instead use that $$ for a PAC, or even better, a newspaper.
Which is largely why I don't watch, nor have anything to do with them.
Make the NFL pay - don't watch their product on tv, don't purchase any of their products in the stores. Rush has about 20m viewers. If these viewers boycott NFL football, the owners, commissioner, will get the msg...
Conservatives need not apply.
Rush I guess this is when you find out who your friends are.
I gave up on pro sports years ago. I enjoy collegiate sports.
Mark Levin said tonight that George Soros is one of the investors and that Al Sharpton is a commissioner.
Think about that.
Rush is not acceptable but those guys are.
Did the current owner/s say they wouldn’t sell to a conservative?
McCarthyism!
Communism = Racism
Hollywood = Conservatives
“Rush was lynched”
I believe God moves in mysterious ways. It may be Gods providence that prevents him from sinking a lot of cash into a dying franchise. Rush loves football, but maybe God is saying, “Rush your wisdom is on loan from me, and I’m going to use the enemy to keep you from blowing it”!!
I just called Direct TV and canceled the NFL channels. I won’t be a customer of a bigoted organization like the NFL that caters to liberal causes such as false racism. Let the NFL get its money from the bruthas in da hood.
The NFL, the National Felon’s League, has more crap in it that for them to think anyone, especially Rush, isn’t welcome, well, they are just too bigoted for my taste and my money.

Bread & Circuses were good enough to bring Rome down...Soros probably knows that.

Big Difference.
The people accused of being Communists WERE Communists.
The people accused of being racists are NOT racists.
Break out the popcorn! Let the lawsuits begin!
I wonder who it was who leaked his name to begin with? Is that actionable?
Levin said that the joker who got the group together (St. Louis Blues owner) asked Rush to join the group. Now he just drops Rush as soon as some controversy stirs.
Soros leaked. He was a member of the group (Rush did not know).
Mark said this tonight.
Prescient. Agree.
(from a sports board)
We should all open accounts at Wikiquote and start attributing false quotes to Olberman, Goodell, and everyone else associated with this smear job.
I’m a long time NFL fan (with the Bucs since ‘76, unfortunately), and an addicted fantasy player, but I’m seriously considering canceling my Sunday Ticket, putting my Bucs stuff away, and quitting my fantasy leagues.
These are tried and true Leninist tactics they’re using, and I’m frankly getting tired of them. My temptations to go Galt are becoming greater by the day...
I think you're right that many of them were but it also became a political tool.
Wikipedia - "Suspicions were often given credence despite inconclusive or questionable evidence, and the level of threat posed by a person's real or supposed leftist associations or beliefs was often greatly exaggerated. Many people suffered loss of employment, destruction of their careers, and even imprisonment"
It was a disapointment to learn that Dashiell Hammett was a devoted communist after enjoying the Thin Man series. I happen to agree with Coulter on McCarthy.
I’ve definitely paid for my last NFL game, all the thugs they have playing and they ban Rush, and that lady who spoke today on the floor of the senate is a disgrace to thinking people everywhere.
ML/NJ
I think he was asked so he could be dumped.
I completely agree. Rush needs to sue for libel and slander EACH news organization and EACH person that stated those falsehoods as “truth” and “news”.
KC Cheifs haven’t been any good since the ‘69 Super Bowl so I won’t miss much when I quit watching NFL starting now.
Wiki source?
Just because it’s an accepted meme doesn’t mean it’s true about McCarthy.
It seems that “Rush is a racist” is also an accepted meme, whether the quotes were made up out of whole cloth doesn’t seem to bother anyone, Rush is a racist, McCarthy was wrong, Vietnam, etc. All big lies.
Exactly. One of Rush's many false accusers is drunk driver/murderer Rick Sanchez of CNN.

Rick Sanchez bio: Scroll down to the DUI section
I just learned about Rick Sanchez' past today while listening to Rush. Appalling... why isn't this guy in prison?
Lets face it, friends. Rush is a lightning rod for controversy. The NFL billionaire boys club owners have enough controversy with their thug players. They dont want or need his money.
I do hope that Rush does sue. The major comment attributed to him that caused the damage was the one about slavery having merits of keeping criminals off of the streets. Rush says he never said it and I believe him.
Everything that Rush says on air is available on tape via FCC regulated stations. If he did say this in 1998 Gore, Kerry or Zippy would have found it and used it to discredit him to his own audience. Crimmy sakes alive they all had the budget for opposition research to find a great big bomb like this.
This is simply a rumor that was repeated in the MSM like you would expect to hear in a girl’s bathroom in high school. Rush hinted today that he knows the original source. I hope that he takes them to task on it in a great big way.
The left gets away with this crap all of the time. They repeat lies so often that they become what people accept as the truth. I say that we start taking their own words out of context and use it against them on the net. Give them a taste of their own meds (not making it up just editing in an artful way) and see if twists their panties into a knot.
I hope he sues.
I have reconsidered my love for pro football in the light of the really troubling information on the health problems that attack players after they quit. The helmet, which may as well be the German coal scuttle helmet, is itself responsible for the increase in concussions. And we are learning that serial concussions can sure as hell shorten life.
I haven’t watched ANY pro football since Jerry bought the Cowboys.
Hey, if Rush can’t own the Rams, maybe he can own NBC.
Sanchez better have deep pockets cause Rush is going to own CNN when this is done.
Thanks for the email address. I told that SOB Goodell that he’s a hypocritical wuss, and he can take his PC NFL and shove it!
I’m just now catching up with this mess. What an appalling smear against Rush.
O’Reilly is covering this now on his show- two attorneys opinions- one says use his bully pulpit, one says go after every single journalist who reported the false statements.
The legal argument is, I suppose, that he is a public figure and thus criticism of whatever nature is fair game. However, slander that can be proved to affect an individual’s ability to make a living, is something else entirely. If Rush goes after just one individual it will have a beneficial effect.
Obama's a divider, not a uniter.
Free speech is dying. Glad Rush is suing the slanderers and libelers.
Dropping him may have played into his hands in his suit against his detractors.
