You miss the obvious point concerning NFL hypocracy.

Vick is good to go of an NFL Sunday but Rush is persona non grata. Please explain this stuff & nonsense ...

When it’s all over we’ll be saying, “Rush was right”.

They don’t understand why Rush’s listeners tune it. He protects his brand by telling the truth and as factual as possible.

What a dope wrote that story.

The NFL has Al Sharpton as a commissioner.

So much for their image.

Michael Vick.

Image???

And the LA Times is running a story right now to the effect that some of the signals used by players look like gang signs. Presently under investigation.

But the NFL must keep its image.

As for the drugs, there is a big difference between getting hooked on a prescription a doctor gave you for a legitimate illness or injury and snorting coke.

If you can’t see the difference: Arguing with fools only makes one look foolish.

No, I didn't miss it. I just think that he's paid for his crime and is not a good example in this case. Rush is not being punished for some crime, he is being punished for being a conservative and anti obumber. By that standard, any owner that is liberal and anti Palin should not be allowed to own a team.

Exactly!

I think the people who are making asses of themselves by commenting on things they never heard come out of Rush's mouth are going to regret it too. As far as I'm concerned the NFL can KMA. If they aren't smart enough to SHUT UP and just play the game I am not interested in watching them.

"The NFL has a product. The NFL has the most sought-after product in professional sports. The NFL is all about protecting its product. It’s about cultivating an image and protecting the league shield. Why? Because that leads to fans, which leads to ticket sales, which leads to sponsorships and wealth and, most of all, power."

I, for one, don't like the image they're "cultivating".

My husband and I were fans, but we're done with them. We won't be watching, or buying their products. I'm hoping the biggest majority of Rush's 20 million listeners think and do the same.

I figure Rush may keep on going to the games and watching them on television. If he has the stomach for it, that's his decision.

This has ruined my enjoyment of watching the games.

"...panty-waste..."

It's "panty-waist", you stupid liberal jerkoff.

For the record, I quit reading your sophomoric diatribe right there.

Sorry, but you miss the point yet again.

The NFL must ‘protect its brand’ from such as Rush even as they welcome dog torturers into the fold.

Yes Vick paid his time. But he is a far, far worse icon in the NFL than Rush might ever, ever be ....

You focus on legalisms. I refer to ethics & moral scruple.

Signals to Rush that he is better off well past the NFL.

Still, he should sue the beejezzus out each & all of his slanderers & libelers.

I wont be buying any NFL gear, but I can not stop watching my beloved Broncos. I've written a letter to both the Broncos and the NFL expressing my disgust. But I can't just stop watching, at least not until they loose one, maybe.

I'm sure he will. Now does that tell you something about RUSH? If it were politics I would then call him a RINO.

"It doesn’t really matter that all NFL owners and many players are rich and therefore, logic dictates, probably lean to the right politically themselves"

The richest congressional districts are now held by Democrats, moron.

Money doesn't mean common sense, although from reading this guy, it sounds like he has neither.

Isn’t this the paper Rush calles the ‘Urinal and Constipation’?

It's always been called that.

Sure, we all get it. Ex-star QB’s being murdered by their girlfriends that wives don’t know of? Aww, who cares? The Titans organize a special remembrance for him. Vick sadistically takes life, give him a second chance. Pac-Man Jones? Why, he’s just misunderstood. That is until he doesn’t produce on the field than he’s banned. Prima donna QB’s that make everyone’s life hell because they think it should be all me, me , me...or them them, them...but Farve plays the game like a kid. How can we not love him? Players being caught driving drunk or doing steroids, all quietly swept under the rug.

We get it. We get that thugs, criminals, substance abusers, pampered overpaid adulterous brats are all great for the NFLs image.

So long as they aren’t conservatives. That is where the line must be drawn. I’m just wondering when they’ll start designating which seats and water fountains we’re allowed to use.

You forgot Al Davis. Though perhaps he could be noted as senile instead.
