Sharpton, Jackson ask NFL to bar Rush Limbaugh from ownership - USATODAY.com (http://www.usatoday.com/sports/football/nfl/2009-10-12-al-sharpton-rush-limbaugh_N.htm?poe=HFMostPopular)


NEW YORK (AP) — The Revs (http://content.usatoday.com/topics/topic/The+Revs). Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson (http://content.usatoday.com/topics/topic/People/Politicians,+Government+Officials,+Strategists/Jesse+Jackson) attacked the bid by Rush Limbaugh to buy the St. Louis Rams on Monday, saying the conservative radio host's track record on race should exclude him from owning an NFL team.

You knew it wouldn't take Rush very long to issue his retort:

"Limbaugh shot back at Sharpton on his radio show.
"Now, this saddens me as well this disappoints me," he said. "I know Rev. Sharpton. Sharpton is better than this. He knows better than this. You know, I didn't judge Al Sharpton's fitness to be in radio when he wanted to earn an honest living for once, given his well-documented past as the author of the Tawana Brawley (http://content.usatoday.com/topics/topic/Tawana+Brawley) hoax. I believe in freedom and I also don't discriminate"

Is the fur going to fly, over this one? :popcorn:

So much for equality. Can't stand Rush, but they are just as bad and hypocrits.

We're on the same boat, on this one! :yay:

I have a hard time listening to Rush, (goes a little overboard) although sometimes he's got a point to make, concerning demokratic dipsqueaks, like NaziPelosi and Harry Reid, but what's that got to do with owning a NFL franchise?

Is political persuasion a big deal in our seasonal football games? :cds:
