And America just lost a little of what makes her the greatest country in the world -- civility, respect and fairness.

That is very well said.

My interest in the NFL has been waning for 10 or 12 years due to the increasing numbers of players that are poor examples for our young people.

This pathetic example of Goodell, owners, coaches and players not only not trying to stop this character assassination but adding to it is the final straw, I'm no longer a fan of any team.

Although I agree that there was a conspiracy to shaft Rush, it’s had no effect on the OldPossum’s television viewing habits (next to non-existent anyway).

I find football in all its forms uninteresting. I wouldn’t walk across the street to see any football game ever played.

"In fact, he did just the opposite and climbed on the slander train himself by saying that "divisive comments" would not be welcome in the league. Goodell's statement..."

No! The exercise of free speech shall not be welcome in the NFL but drug addicts, animal abusers, gang bangers, murderers and the like are welcome in the league right Goodell?

No more NFL in our home I guarantee and while I may be only one none of the other four people that live in my home will watch it either. With the economy going to baraq O bamah in a hand basket I seriously doubt goodell and company can afford to tic off too many people like me. Money's tight and I know there are lots of other businesses out there that would like to take it from me. I don't need to, nor do I want to spend any more with the NFL.

What a joke. No Rush but Al Davis? <* shaking head *>

JMHO

I’ve grown to dislike watching the crips and the bloods for quite a few years. Learning about the number of felons in the NFL soured me even more but now I’m actively compaigning against the NFL.

If Conservatives aren't good enough for the NFL, then the NFL is not good enough for me. Screw Goodell, Irsay, and the rest.

I've watched a grand total of maybe 5 baseball games since the players went on strike way back when and I guarantee I will watch fewer NFL games now that they've basically told Conservatives "the exits are clearly marked".

...ignorant and slanderous liberals attributed unthinkable racial statements to Rush without any definitive proof. The angry mob's accusations ultimately led to Rush's removal from the group bidding for the St. Louis NFL franchise.

If the liberals who run the NFL don't think Rush is good enough for them - they sure as hell don't think I'm good enough for them.

This is another "Charlie Gibson moment" - they're looking down their collective noses on us...

Gee I wonder how many Sundays it will take until the NFL notices that their ratings are down and the stadiums aren’t as full as they were?

Uh, tell us again, Mr. Goodell and supercilious Limbaugh detractors, why Rush is unfit to join the august society of current NFL owners like Jennifer Lopez, who penned these deathless lyrics:

"And the game done chose me to bring pain to n ***** and p **** holes, they one in the same." - "I'm Real," co-written by Jennifer Lopez, minority owner of the Miami Dolphins.

"NFL Owners Who Use the N-Word and Wet Their Pants on Stage"
