Rush ,Racism and The Rooney Rule

So Rush Limbaugh was dropped from the group trying to buy the ST Louis Rams. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4559454. I really don’t have a problem with it. I mean if he had the money to invest, why not let him invest? Granted Limbaugh has made many outrageous statements and racially insensitive remarks. In 2003, he was forced to resign from ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown after saying of Philadelphia's Donovan McNabb: "I think what we've had here is a little social concern in the NFL. The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well." He has also been quoted as saying “. I mean, let’s face it; we didn’t have slavery in this country for over 100 years because it was a bad thing. Quite the opposite: slavery built the South. I’m not saying we should bring it back; I’m just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark.” and “Look, let me put it to you this way: the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it”There you have it the comedy stylings of Rush Limbaugh.

I say if this racist wants to own a team, let him. I don’t have a problem with it at all It’s not like the majority of the NFL owners don’t agree with him. On the contrary they probably do. Think about this, if it was not for The Rooney Rule http://national-football-league-nfl.suite101.com/article.cfm/what_is_the_rooney_rule The NFL would still be using the good old boy network and hiring and firing the same coaches all over again. None of whom were black. They all probably think like him, they just won’t say it for obvious PR reasons. I mean Marge Schott owned a professional sports team http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1355/is_n17_v83/ai_13459219/ .
She was an outright racist and she only got suspended for 1 yr. I just think it’s hypocritical for all these athletes to now be concerned about who is trying to buy a franchise, when they haven’t even done the homework on their own team owners. How many of them give money and support racist organizations in government and the media? I do admire all those that spoke out about Rush, but don’t just pick and choose what you feel is the hot button issue of the day.

I said before I don’t have a problem with Rush wanting to own a team. What I do have a problem with, is him thinking there would be no backlash. Dave Checketts should have known that Roger Goodell was not going to just let that happen without some type of
misgivings or input from Jesse, Al http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4553445
And company. My problem now is with that fact that Rush wants to blame the Obama administration for him not getting to own a franchise. I was going to give him a pass on this nonsense, but he went and did what serial racists do, he blamed someone else. I say the Rams have a few more problems that they need to discuss that are more important than who actually owns them. I mean they are 0-5 Rush could have perked up morale by naming them the St Louis Porch Monkeys or how about the Jiggaboos. Rush wants to blame Obama for him getting dropped from the group. He did say he hoped Obama would fail, I guess he likes failures. I mean with the Rams record, he should be in good company.
