Dittoheads Unite
So it was all of those liberal millionaires in the ranks of the NFL owners that kept Rush from being an owner. Atleast according to Red State. In no way am I fan of Rush's divisive rhetoric, but I have no problems with him being an owner. However, the NFL knows how to run a business, and Rush being involved would have been bad for business.

No kidding -- I might like salmon and I might like ice cream, but salmon ice cream doesn't sound very good.
P.S. A RedState blog? What next, the dude wearing a sign down the street?
Sorry, but I can't go along on this one. I am willing to support him that the McNabb quote was overblown and probably had a bit of truth in it despite being almost twenty years after Doug Williams.
However, the following disgusting diatribe was a clear effort to continue to make the usual political discussion into race warfare. If I were an NFL player, AA or not, I would not play for the man.
Sept 15: "It's Obama's America, is it not? Obama's America, white kids getting beat up on school buses now. I mean, you put your kids on a school bus, you expect -- you expect safety. But in Obama's America, the white kids now get beat up with the black kids cheering, 'Yay, right on, right on, right on, right on.' And of course everybody says, 'Oh, the white kid deserved it. He was born a racist, he's white.' Newsweek magazine told us this. We know that white students are destroying civility on buses. White students destroying civility in classrooms all over America. White congressmen destroying civility in the House of Representatives. We can redistribute students while we redistribute their parents' wealth. I mean, we can just redistribute everything. Just return the white students to their rightful place, their own bus, with bars on the windows and armed guards. They're racist. They get what they deserve. Newsweek magazine told us this -- post-racial America. I mean, I wonder if Obama's going to come to the defense of the assailants the way he did his friend Skip Gates up there at Harvard."
If we were to plumb the dark depths of NFL owners and their private comments, I suspect we could find equally distressing comments.
That being said, the NFL is best when it is most apolitical. Therefore, Rush would not have added anything to the NFL.
(It's worth noting how much of a knicker-twist everyone has gotten themselves into what must be a sub-30% minority stake. Limbaugh is a wealthy man, to be sure, but purchasing an NFL team is the province of billionaires, which Rush is most certainly not.)
