I’m not sure it would have been a liability. Had Rush become part owner of the Rams, I would have been purchasing Rams merchandise, as would many others. I cannot have political stickers on my “official” work vehicle, but I can certainly support a football team. Clandestine political.
The Rams organization would have gotten a bump of cash from all this.
One of by buddies at work, big sports nut, had NO IDEA how convoluted this whole story is. He got all his news on ESPN. I had to enlighten him.
