So I guess that the NFL does not need or want conservative fans cheering, supporting, and paying for stadium seats to watch their favorite NFL Teams and the same with their televised advertisers?

Limbaugh’s critics lied, and the NFL took their side. If they don’t want conservatives, then I guess they don’t want conservative dollars, either.

Break your NFL addiction. You’ll probably feel better.

"The NFL has made it clear that they do not want the participation of conservatives in their league"

Equally conveyed though less explicitly: Uppity Whites need not apply.

Yep. And I got off the porch a long time ago.

He is not a racist, and neither are his 20 million listeners.

Not according to Michael Wilbon, Washington Post Sports Columnist.

"Limbaugh's Message Made Him Rich -- And Cost Him"

...I don't listen to his show because his comments about people of color anger and offend me, and I'm not easily offended. I'm not going to try and give specific examples of things he has said over the years; I screwed up already doing that, repeating a quote attributed to Limbaugh (about slavery) that he has told me he simply did not say and does not reflect his feelings. I take him at his word.

But Limbaugh has long history of the same insults and race baiting, to the point of declaring he hoped the president of the United States, a black man, fails. I never understood why someone with Limbaugh's gift for communication was so nasty and, in my opinion, gave cover to bigots everywhere under the guise of conservatism. Clearly I'm not alone.

Wilbon apparently believes that if Rush weren't such a racist, he would want Obama to succeed brilliantly -- at transforming the United States into a socialist quagmire. What other reason besides racism could there be to oppose socialism?

I especially liked the "I'm not going to try and give specific examples of things he has said over the years," which translates to "I'm not going to provide any evidence supporting my slander, because there is none."

How should one respond to this level of malignant idiocy?

Why do the libs get everything?

Did you know that in Nazi Germany you couldn’t get promoted unless you were a member of the Nazi party? It’s starting to look that way in the US....

Back when I actually watched PTI, it was fun to try to figure out who had the lower IQ, Wilbon or Kornheiser.

My fellow Patriots and YHOS, I have to tell you that this whole NFL is a bunch of crap. I made a vow last year to turn the TV off and not watch another professional football game again. It is such a wonderful feeling to not waste days watching the trash NFL offers. It is great to be able to work on the weekends or spend the time with my wife. Sports, when you actually think of it, is so minute and to give it up is wonderful.

"I’m done with the NFL."

I'm in, er, out of the NFL, too. This decision is made a lot easier considering how bad the Panthers are this year!

More likely, Olberman knows he'll be collateral damage.

Don’t kid yourself; the NFL would see those suddenly sold out games as an ENDORSEMENT of their blackballing Rush, and the presstitutes would shout it from the rooftops!

The IP address of the wiki entry of the false quote is of a law firm that works with Soros.
