I think you’ll have lots of company in that regard. Me, I’m not any kind of sports fan but this was deeply offensive to Conservatives, and if I take a (conservative!) WAG that 1/5th the revenue-yielding audience for the NFL is Conservative and half that group won’t be spending another dime on the NFL..and I am deliberately understating my WAG..then every NFL team just lost 10% of its value. That’s hope and change!

Honest to God I thought this article was going to say these guys might be sued for repeating lies and using them as a reason to prompt the dropping of Rush from the buyers group. Instead it is just another idiot writer claiming Rush is a racist.

I’m disgusted by the NFL’s behavior. I am HUGE football fan, but I’ll never purchase another NFL item for a long, long time! It’s all college ball for my money from now on.

I’ve read some of the comments at nfl.com. The vast majority should make them worry about their ticket and merchandise sales. After all, there are always college and high school games where the players don’t make more than the budgets of cities and even some counties.

The NFL was my default channel of choice but will not be any longer. NBC was already jettisoned because of that berk Olberdork.

Seems to me that most football fans are conservative.

Seems to me conservatives should forever boycott the NFL.

It would be idiotic not to (then again, I think it’s idiotic to be a spectator sport fan, so it would not surprise me if football fans do not do sensible things, like boycott the NFL).

They run off the big money, the players end up playing for peanuts. It’s a bad economy, maybe they can get George Soros to buy them, and then he can tell them who wins each week and who loses.

I will say one thing it sure brought out into the light the “politics” of the NFL. It sure is not a pretty picture and has soured me on them.

Why does anyone give a sh#t about what Sharpton thinks? The man is a literal GD idiot!

Thinking you are going to appease Al Charlitan over a proven and *actually* powerful Rush, it borders on insanity.

NFL! Who do you think is going to win?

I going to the Patriots Titans game on Sunday.

I did not pay for the ticket.

Is that OK?

I like the NFL. I like it a lot.

I seriously doubt that FReepers are going to be winning Hearts & Minds by encouraging folks to boycott the NFL. That is seriously pissing against the wind.

Rush does not get to own a piece of the action. So what?

He don't care about that. He don't need it. He does however raise a lot of capital by getting shut out of this deal. Oh Yes. Yes indeed.

Limbaugh is more brilliant than folks seem to realize, even out here on FR.com

Dittos.

Every Christmas I buy my Packers fan son different team items. Not this year, or any year hereafter.

College basketball practice starts this week. A sport I find worth watching.

This act is on par with Michael Savage's being banned from the UK. It's pure liberalism striking out at conservatism and scoring a blow. Michael even predicted that this sort of crap would happen to others. And now it has. Rush wasn't banned from England but he's been banned from the NFL.

Both seem innocuous on the surface, but below, a sinister act is taking place. To borrow from the boxing world, there's a horseshoe in somebody's glove, and it ain't the conservative's.

Though the judges may score this as a hit, it's way below the belt and they know it. Anyone with a problem will have to drink beer with the President to get it resolved. Or not. "Screw you, we won."

Inunddate Goodell, Checketts, and Irsay with letters explaining why you’re boycotting the NFL.

Maybe Rush just needs to torture some dogs. Then all will be forgiven.
