Rush Limbaugh knows why he was denied a chance to own the St. Louis Rams – it’s all Obama’s fault:
“So Obama’s America is quite possibly going to include the National Football League, and pressure from Obama, the Congressional Black Caucus and other places might be brought to bear on the owners,” Limbaugh complained.
And it wasn’t just “Obama’s America” that did him in.
Limbaugh charged that the Rev. Al Sharpton and others were in cahoots with the NFL Players Association, using the Limbaugh controversy for “leverage” in pending negotiations with the league.
The NFL is an “outpost of racism and liberalism.” Why doesn’t someone think about the true victims? Luckily, Red State has Rush’s back:
This caused quite a bit of frustration in conservative circles where Limbaugh was characterized as a victim. Perhaps the most amusing was this heartfelt RedState item, which argued, in apparent sincerity, “Tonight, Rush is us. And we are him.”
The enemy of this great nation, the enemy of you and me, Rush’s enemy… those on the left, inside and outside of this nation abhor success… and when faced with it will destroy it… by any and all means possible.
We all have our dreams in life… such as they might be. Rush dreamed of being an owner in the NFL.
Tonight the left proved that they will stop at nothing to end our dreams. Our dreams of success and happiness devastate their need to dominate and control you and me… and well everything and everyone. [all ellipses in the original]
Hmmm….perhaps conservatives believe that owning a NFL team is a Constitutional right? Apparently businesses have no choice in who runs them. In fact, conservatives are organizing a boycott:
Since Roger Goodell wants to bend over for Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and the other bigots and race-baiters among the sportswriter community by shafting Rush Limbaugh, we ought to return the favor by punting the NFL this season.
I have cancelled my DirecTV NFL Sunday Ticket package (including the Supercast). I will not watch ONE MINUTE of NFL games or coverage this season—including the Super Bowl.
And I challenge you to join me.
Let’s show Roger Goodell who REALLY runs the NFL—the fans.
Tremble at their mighty power, NFL! You’ll be sorry!
