Aside from Rush getting screwed by the NFL, a sad thing about all of this is that there are a lot of people who don’t even know there is a ruckus about anything relating to Rush Limbaugh and the NFL. A huge portion of them could care less.

Sundays = At the range with the kids.

I was all excited to root for that nice Catholic(?) boy Matt Ryan, and the newly-professionalized Atlanta Falcons (I'd given them up since the time they had MC Hammer dicking around on the sidelines, and reiterated my distaste for them when everyone was praising Mike Vick/Ron Mexico as a fine citizen and role model).

With this, and teh "Futbol Americano" crap, way to go NFL!!!!

I have noticed my interest in pro football has been waning more and more since I retired (11 years now), don't know why.
This latest crap does it for me, but it didn't take that big of a push.

For such a manly game like football, how did so many pantywaisted, weak wristed blowhards become their spokesmen?
My defection from the NFL was long time coming. After trashing Rush, I wonder what took me so long to say, “Adios NFL”.

I enjoy listening to Rush. I have avoided watching football games since 1981. I'm simply not interested. Bouncing Rush from the sales group is likely a beneficial situation for Rush. Why tie up your money in an investment what you will have little influence on the management and marginal ability to divest yourself of the liability?

I’ll still watch my Cowboys (screw the ‘Skins, braithwaite!) and be happy to do so - especially since I have not heard any of them mouth off thus far...In fact it was former Cowboy “Hutch” Hutcherson (now pastor of Antioch church in Seattle) who called Rush’s show, livid about the over-the-top statements of some of the half-wit players and sportswriters - but far moreso over the “justice brothers” or as he himself called Sharpton and Jackson (on air) “Poverty pimps”

Kudos for being outspoken, Hutch!

Go ‘Boys

(yeah, I know it’s a “bye” weekend for them)

I used to be a huge pro sports fan, but the criminals and sociopaths involved turned me off long ago. I haven’t intentionally listened to or watched a pro sporting event in 10 years.

Blacks may be 70% of the players, but it’s whites that pay 95% of the salaries (with most of them being conservative)...and the players (and other owners) are about to find that out.

I stopped watching for the last couple of years and this year I’ve totally stopped. I got sick and tired of the fawning over all the black players and all their life stories and how hard they had it growing up in a bad hood or how one of their parents died, drama, drama, drama.....

Got tired of it all an I will tell you all it is wonderful spending it with my wife and no Sunday addiction of NFL all day.

I’l show all of you! I’ll hurt me!

Not really.

I’ll be watching the Steelers this afternoon, as usual. I’m not going to let the lefties take away one more joy in my life.

NFL football is the sports version of rap. It glorifies sleazebags. And a good portion of its fandom are psychos.

I gave up all sports in 1991 - have not watched a single game or event of any sporting event since then. Have not even been tempted once to watch one.

I like having my time back!

Rush should look to start his own league. Put a wrinkle in and limit substitutions. Old-time football. Make the players play both ways. It would certainly get rid of the 300 pounders.

Goodell's statement was reprehensible and became the straw the broke the camel's back for countless thousands of Rush supporters. It was game over -- adios NFL!

I hope he is right.
