Rush Limbaugh is expected to be dropped from a group bidding to buy the St. Louis Rams, according to three NFL sources.
Dave Checketts, chairman of the NHLs St. Louis Blues and the point man in the Limbaugh group attempting to buy the Rams, realizes he must remove the controversial conservative radio host from his potential role as a minority member in the group in order to get approval from other NFL owners, the sources said.
Three-quarters of the leagues 32 owners would have to approve any sale to Limbaugh and his group. Earlier this week, Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay predicted that Limbaughs potential bid would be met by significant opposition. Several players have also voiced their displeasure with Limbaughs potential ownership position, and NFL Players Association head DeMaurice Smith, who is black, urged players to speak out against Limbaughs bid.
So the NFL is a bunch of racist punks like the NBA...who would’a thunk? Oh, well...I don’t watch football anymore.
