Maybe Dave Checketts really doesn't want to buy the St. Louis Rams.
Why else would he have included both Rush Limbaugh and, reportedly, George Soros in the group cobbling together the money to make the purchase?
If, after all, Limbaugh is not eligible to become part owner of a team due to polarizing and divisive comments, Soros' comparison of the Bush administration to the Nazi regime arguably merits that same outcome.
But, per Bloomberg.com, Soros is part of the Checketts group, too.
Bottom line? Checketts should have done more homework before piecing together his investment group. All he needed to do was call the league office or maybe a few owners to get a feel for whether this kind of thing would fly.
With Limbaugh now out, it's likely only a matter of time before Soros will have to go as well. Even if the reaction to Soros' involvement isn't as sharp and immediate, it only takes nine of 32 "no" votes from the full league ownership to kill the deal -- and there probably are at least nine Republican owners who believe that, if Limbaugh isn't fit to own part of a team, Soros isn't, either.

[ snip ]......Checketts also brings big-time backers like George Soros, who financed the duo’s failed attempt to buy the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2003.
If this is really true and Soros gets permitted to own part of a team and Limbaugh can't, I'm boycotting the league for good.
Soros and Obama have taken over the car industry, banks, medical healthcare in the works and now the NFL! WOW!

Rush is talking about this now.
Oh! Forgot they own Wall Street too!
The NFL does know that George is a convicted criminal in the eyes of a FRench court.
don’t they?
I guess that shows ya where conservatism ranks,, above foreign criminals
They’ll believe the lies against Limbaugh, but accept a Nazi collaborator into their ranks??
If Soros is part of the Checketts group then we’re just as free to make an issue out of it as other’s were of Limbaugh. Now is a good time to dredge up all the Soros quotes and the groups he funded and the issues he supported and publicize them to the max. If people can criticize Limbaugh for his positions then the same is true for Soros.
Nobody has accepted anybody yet. The bid hasn’t even gotten to the final round yet. People really need to stop jumping to conclusions.

Liberals need to think about where this is leading. During Jim Crow, hotels and restaurants refused to accept the hard earned money of blacks, due to them being black.
People’s money should be equal and identity should not affect the value of money. The blacks fought hard for this and now they are resurrecting the concept of monetary discrimination.
Soros is the most DAMGEROUS man in the WORLD! He is FINANCING the DESTRUCTION of AMERICA!
This was a way to bring out FALSE COMMENTS, so I'm thinking that the VILE and EVIL SOROS SET HIM UP!!!!!
Boycott the NFL!!!!
George Soros is the kind of man who makes me glad we can’t take it with us.
