NFL Quickly Discarding Limbaugh May Come Back To Haunt Them

Bleacher Report ^ | October 16, 2009 | Peter Cady

I’m not calling for a boycott. I don’t believe in general they are effective.

I am making the personal choice to no longer watch. As of now The sports “news” shows were turned off a few days ago. I stopped visiting my team’s board. I stopped visiting general NFL boards. I will not be watching this Sunday or Monday.

It’s gone beyond Rush for me. I wouldn’t be surprised if Rush watches this Sunday. I won’t be surprised if he attends another game. His choice just as it’s your choice and mine. I’m opting out.

I’ll watch Saturday’s college games and then Sunday will fill my day with something new.

I seriously doubt this incident with Rush will affect the NFL’s true bottom line.

The NFL has bigger issues, namely, the uncapped year NEXT season and the almost certain lockout to follow it.

the NFL lives off of TV revenue. Clothing sales and tickets are just icing on the cake. People just won’t stop watching the NFL because Rush Limbaugh was essentially told “Thanks but no thanks”....

Besides which, Rush really has to know better. Let the Checketts group get their bid approved for the sale of the team and THEN buy into the franchise. Anything preliminary to the actual sale makes it much to easy to say no, which is exactly what happened.

Sports contests gets the sheeple’s mind focused away from political concerns and onto artificial substitutes. Let them eat cake.

I copied in my team (yes, the Detroit Lions) the letter I wrote to Goodell. They need to know why I will not be watching games or buying jerseys. If you’re boycotting, be sure to tell your favorite team why. Let the owners know this kind of crap is unacceptable. The owners have the power, not Goodell.

Sorry NFL, our relationship is over. You’ll have to look to someone else to pay for your big pu**y earrings.

abso-fu$$king-lutely! good call. how easy the sheeple are distracted huh? these idiot ‘reality’ and ‘dancing’ shows the youngn’s apparently view religiously each week are really something, from what I have read and heard. I can’t believe there are American people so unsatisfied with their own lives that they have to live vicariously thru these people and those insipid shows, especially with what is going on in America right now. sports contests I think are a bit different. they do teach team work etc. even in some ways over the TV broadcasts. now, I have not payed any attention to the NFL myself since the late ‘60s and the NBA since the GREAT Jerry West ret. in late ‘74 but I do not disparage those who do. IF I were an NFL viewer now, after what was done to Rushbo, that would be it. FU$K ‘em all to heck.

I got a 550 internal error when I tried to leave a message. Coincidence?

[The Wizard]

and folks were calling up Rush this week reporting that they have now CANCELED there subscriptions to the NFL ticket as well

[The Wizard]

thanks for the link...locked and loaded

You really should drop WAG and use SWAG. SWAG is much more accurate because it is scientific.

[Toespi]

Perhaps the NFL simply forgot who their fans really are, which is a huge block of the 48% who voted AGAINST Obama and the politically correct crowd. I am betting that this same 48% love Rush Limbaugh.

Indianapolis Colts' owner and know coke head Jim Irsay..

[brushcop]

Plus the NCAA rules are VERY STRICT and ARE ENFORCED.

[bankwalker]

I like football because I played it myself, and I made a few great plays. My teams won games because of what I did. Me! I made great plays. ME! I did it.

Polk High?

[redgolum]

Just wait for the next step.

EIB broadcasts over some of the same radio networks that were slandering Rush. If the left can stop him from being a minority owner in the NFL, they can put pressure on those same networks to shut Rush down.

[slorunner]

Maybe this whole thing will turn out for the good if it leads Christian Conservatives to go back to consider Sunday as the LORD’s Day and stop spending the whole afternoon and evening staring at the one eyed god.

Or put another way:

“Bread and Circuses”.
