BOSTON (AP) - Rush Limbaugh's bid to buy the St. Louis Rams ran into opposition within the NFL on Tuesday. Colts owner Jim Irsay vowed to vote against him, and commissioner Roger Goodell said the conservative commentator's "divisive" comments would not be tolerated from any NFL insider.
"I, myself, couldn't even consider voting for him," Irsay said at an owners meetings. "When there are comments that have been made that are inappropriate, incendiary and insensitive ... our words do damage, and it's something that we don't need."

Good work...Just as I suspected.
“He, we and the NFL will survive.”
I have no real concern for the survival of the NFL.
I doubt the NFL will make any inquiry into Jim Irsay’s political opinions.
“Is it true that Irsay left Baltimore because it was becoming too black?”
It was his father who moved the team, because Balitmore wasn’t building him a new stadium. The dad, Robert Irsay, was one of the biggest idiots ever to own an NFL team - at one point ordering an 11 man blitz.

I stopped being a Colt fan when they left Baltimore...
That’s what it’s all about.
Yep! They are all Obama supporting race-baiters.
Don’t you wish business owners had the same right to hire, fire and exclude who they wish from employment.
Don’t Flush Rush!
Make a sign and take it to the the next NFL game you attend.
Afterall, if he’s labeled a racist then so too are all his listeners.
Let’s investigate Irsay.
Is he “qualified” to be an NFL owner??
