And now a word from an NFL owner:
“And the game done chose me to bring pain to niggas and pussy holes, they one in the same.” - I’m Real, co-written by Jennifer Lopez, minority owner of the Miami Dolphins.
Amidst the uproar over Rush Limbaugh having to step aside from his participation in the bid to purchase the NFL’s St. Louis Rams over racially insensitive statements he never actually made, is the fact that current ACTUAL owners of an NFL team have said much worse than the false and the left says nothing.

The NFL is dead to me
Goddell is an idiot.
His wife is FOX News anchor Jane Skinner...
Negro Felons and Liberals.
Would this be under the jeopardy question:
“A ghetto pass is held by whom?” For $100?
To know the enemy, it’s important to understand his methods and goals. It never mattered that Rush didn’t say the things falsely attributed to him. This is not a case of the left having made a mistake. They didn’t.
The goal was to damage a conservative publicly. The means was the use of whatever might work. Truth never entered the equation. Truth is an abstract of no use to the enemy. The only measure of good and evil is winning or losing. In this case, the enemy won. Therefore, what they did was right and good.
They got what they wanted; that was the point all along. Now they will play the game of “well, we could have done a better job of attributing and researching...” This is yet one more means to an end, that of preventing a conservative win in the courts.
Just win, baby. That’s the enemy. That’s the left.
I beg to differ. He’s not an idiot; he’s a sniveling coward.
And the irony is no doubt lost on him that the sport which touts virility, bravery, power, strength, resilience in the face of adversity, never quit, never surrender, is led by whining, sniveling cowards like Goodell.
Pro football never had that great a hold on my interest. They’ve lost it forever now.
I don’t want the left vs, right to be in Football. I watch football to get away from everyday stress. I would be OK with the owners using their existing policy to decline the opportunity for Rush to have ownership. It’s their club, their rules. Just vote and keep your pie hole shut.
However, I do agree that Godell stepped in the biggest, stinkiest, wettest pile in the field here. The reasoning he offered makes race the issue. It didn’t have to be. Now it is very apparent for all that we have a league of “rich old white guys” (with very few exceptions) “owning” teams made up of 70% black players. And we have some players preening around saying “I won’t play for Rush.” But you’ll play for Jerry Jones? Al Davis? Truth is, those players would play for Jefferson Davis if he was going to write a $10M check.
Racist buffoonery...
I understand fergie got all wee wee’d up.

In this age of the internet, the left knows that all of the early articles, though false, are forever available to the google searcher. This is why the left never corrects a mistake or a flat out lie for at least a day.
They play to win. A lie for the good of the party is a good in their minds.
Rush Bids on Football Team, Exposes Bias
According to ESPN, DeMaurice Smith, executive director of the NFL Players Union, has sent a message in which he, with ugly insinuations, objects to a purchase of the St. Louis Rams by radio talk-show icon Rush Limbaugh.
“I’ve spoken to the commissioner and I understand that this ownership consideration is in the early stages. But sport in America is at its best when it unifies, gives all of us reason to cheer, and when it transcends. Our sport does exactly that when it overcomes division and rejects discrimination and hatred,” Smith wrote in an e-mail sent to the union executive committee.
Neither the NFL nor the players union has any role in deciding who does or does not get a football franchise.
Rather, the final decision is made by the 32 team owners who vote on the matter after the completion of a background check.
The Ram’s purchase price is reportedly in the neighborhood of $750 million.
Some in the sports media have already launched an attack on the transaction. A columnist for CBS’ Web site wrote a piece titled “NFL’s Greatest Nightmare,” in which he penned that his “head exploded after hearing this Limbaugh news.”
A USA Today reporter described Limbaugh as “controversial” and “polarizing.”
The sports media are jumping at the chance to kick around the idea of whether Limbaugh’s potential ownership position would be good thing for the team, fans, and the virtual stability of the planet.
A few NFL players have claimed that as African-Americans they would refuse to play for the St. Louis Rams if the radio personality were one of the owners.
Now a union official has decided to mouth off about something that’s not within the scope of his responsibilities.
Meanwhile when billionaire Mark Cuban bought the Dallas Mavericks, the press didn’t exactly give him the proverbial exam. In fact, some like-minded sports media pals may have grinned in private when Cuban, as a franchise owner, used his media holdings to distribute “Loose Change,” the independent Internet film that suggests some U.S. government officials may have staged the 9/11 attacks.
If Limbaugh qualifies under the rules and can meet the asking price, he should be able to become owner of the Rams. Period.
An NFL franchise is a property. A prospective buyer shouldn’t have to pass a political litmus test as part of an offer to purchase. That spells discrimination in other contexts.
Maybe it’s time we added “political affiliation” to the list.
Jane better keep her day job. Her hubby's going to be unemployed within 18 months.
I didn’t know J-Lo was an owner of the Dolphins. You should have seen what she did to a dog when she was with Affleck.
Mr. Goodell, do you listen to Rush? If no, how do you know he is divisive? If you based it on what Al Sharpton or Michael Vick whispered to you, you might want to check it out first.
To say that Fergie or J-Lo is a “OWNER” of the Dolphins is like saying you are an OWNER of IBM after buying 10 shares.
Mark Anthony, J-LO, Gloria Estefan and Emilio Estefan, the Williams Sisters...etc..own a tiny stake in the dolphins....about 5%
