NFL Players executive director DeMaurice Smith on Saturday made a move to solidify the union against a bid by conservative talk show radio host Rush Limbaugh as part of a group that aims to purchase the St. Louis Rams
In an e-mail to the union's executive committee on Saturday specifically addressing Limbaugh's bid, Smith said, "I've spoken to the Commissioner [Roger Goodell] and I understand that this ownership consideration is in the early stages. But sport in America is at its best when it unifies, gives all of us reason to cheer, and when it transcends. Our sport does exactly that when it overcomes division and rejects discrimination and hatred."
Limbaugh and St. Louis Blues owner Dave Checketts are among six potential ownership groups that have discussed buying the Rams. League sources say the current sale price has ranged from $700-to-$750 million but that there did not appear to be an imminent transaction.
On Sunday, Smith briefly elaborated, "This communication is more about what we stand for than the reality of our role in any franchise sale. While it's true the subject matter was related [to Limbaugh's bid], I do understand that the NFL does not present ownership bids to me or the NFLPA. I encourage our players to express their views."
At least seven NFL players have publicly opposed Limbaugh's interest in purchasing the Rams with Checketts. In Smith's communication Saturday with his executive committee, the union leader encouraged players to speak their mind on all matters, including Limbaugh's bid.
"I have asked our players to embrace their roles not only in the game of football but also as players and partners in the business of the NFL," said Smith in the e-mail. "They risk everything to play this game, they understand that risk and they live with that risk and its consequences for the rest of their life. We also know that there is an ugly part of history and we will not risk going backwards, giving up, giving in or lying down to it.
"Our men are strong and proud sons, fathers, spouses and I am proud when they stand up, understand this is their profession and speak with candor and blunt honesty about how they feel."
Limbaugh has expressed a number of controversial racial ideas in the past. For example, he suggested that Gen. Colin Powell supported Barack Obama's presidential candidacy simply because he was black, and he also stated that the media wants black quarterbacks to do well and that Donovan McNabb doesn't deserve much of the credit he has received for the Eagles' success.
Among the half-dozen interested buyers of the Rams, there are strong African-American ownership groups interested in buying the Rams, including businessmen Donald Watkins and Dave Steward.
The league has maintained it does not publicly address potential franchise sales. All transactions, when formally presented after a thorough background check, are decided by the 32 owners by vote.

I think it's great whenever athletes show they have beliefs, like Muhammad Ali.
Or John Carlos and Tommie Smith. Great way of manifesting IMO.
But all this stuff about not allowing Limbaugh to own a football team?
It's a free world, and as long as he's not breaking any anti-trust laws, him owning is no problem IMO.
If any of the players would actually quit and or just refuse to play, after these protests, I would respect that though.

yea, it's a free world and when someone spends their entire life being a drug addicted fat pig wannabe nazi. People are free to oppose such an assclown. They clearly see this an not good for football and only one person made that happen, Rush. And he did it all for entertainment purposes? But hey, if he becomes owner, I guess it'll give The Raiders a break as the most hated/laughed at team.
-

So you're saying if David Duke bought a team, the guys would play for him?
nah, Rush is just too polarizing, and has a history with the league and race. There are lots of great places he can put his money. NFL players dn't want to play for him, they're making that clear.

You are an idiot.Tim Brown plaid for Al Davis AFTER Davis said he hated blacks from Notre Dame.You are obviously not an athlete.They care about one thing MONEY.Theyd play for Adolf Hitler if he paid themBy the way,to put Rush and David Duke in the same sentance is as assanine as ANYTHING youve ever posted.Your a fucking fool.

They won't play only the desperate. The good players won't go. Why would they? Rush dislikes blacks.

So we have Jesse Jackson,who has admitted to spitting in white peoples food and Al Sharpton who made up out of thin air a rape case to ram whites into jail and caused riots, opposing Rush.Thse are the two jackoffs that dictate NFL policy?
By the way,we have a liberal jerkoff congressman from Rhode Island making laws for us to follow,named Patrick Kennedy.A strung out junkie whos been in and out of rehab his entire life.Should we be forced to obey ANY law he passes.Hes a junkie,spawned from the loins of that drunken jerk Dead Kennedy.

Yeah, because Rush is such a failure in his current job. ::) ::) ::)

i'd be interested to see how many quit playing...my guess is when the rubber hits the road and there is the choice to either play in the NFL or box groceries...most would be picking the NFL.

Back off, find where I have supported either Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton. I agree with them on extreme rare occations and still think they should stfu. They make shit worse 90% of the time. If I were a good football player, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want to play for a team owned by Jesse Jackson. Finding people on the left that suck isn't an excuse for Rush.

::) Not even remotely tony. That's what Olbermann has done for years and years. You may not like Olbermann but he's not a wannbe nazi racist sack of shit like Rush. He just has agressive progressive ideas. This isn't about Rush being a rightwinger, several strongly conservative owners are out there. I'd be for Michael Moore owning a team before Rush. Can't accuse him of being racist wannabe nazi either. It's really hard to defend Rush in that area and that's what we're talking about.

you're probably right, but as competitive as the NFL is, if they risk losing/not getting any good players over it at all in any number, they're fucked.

Al Davis
He hired Tom Flores, the NFL's first Latino head coach. He hired Art Shell, the first African-American head coach in the NFL's modern era. He drafted Eldridge Dickey, the first African-American quarterback taken in the first round by any NFL or AFL team. Al Davis is pretty well-respected across the board when it comes to making racial progress in the NFL.

What does being part owner of team have to do with coaching football? Apparently their current coach can't coach football

How exactly is Rush an wannbe Nazi? And how exactly is he racist? I must admit I have limited exposure to his radio show.

Ok I actually heard the whole deal with the bus thing, and it was a tongue in cheek shot at some magazine that was saying that all white people are born racist. You can't believe every snippet that gets reported by someone with an agenda.
ANd the song thing was just repeating what a black man had already said.

right b/c olbeirman saying tea party protestors were racist rednecks etc...thats all good right hugo?
come the fuck on dude olbeirman is every bit as biased and arrogant as rush is...

Again how is Rush a Nazi Wannabe? Did he call the extermination of the Jews? Invade Poland? Start a world war?

Well I am always seeing the word Nazi thrown around, 99.9% of the time it for shock effect.

This won't be the first time someone has been denied buying a team. The MLB and the other team owners pretty much fucked Mark Cuban out of buying the Cubs when he wanted to.

Look how that turned out. the Cubs just filed for bankruptcy.

They have already been sold to Ricketts, this was all part of the deal

The Cubs are being sold. They filed for bankruptcy so that the creditor's can't file claims after the team changes hands. They'll be out of Chapter 11 in a week. Was all part of the agreement.

thats not how it would go down...it's not play for the rams or bag groceries.thats a juvinile and not very well thought out statement.....theres 31 other teams to play for and the free agents will just choose to play elsewhere....
-
The rams are an awful franchise right now with what looks to be a 2-14 team.
Why not let some rich a hole who wants to make the team better purchase a controlling interest in it?
Rush is not going to coach football-- He's not going to do anything except sit in the owners box and hire his head coach and GM.
You dont have to know jack shit about football to be a good owner. The Patriots owner also owns Kraft. Do you think he was a first round draft pick or coached football before?
You also can know about football and be a fucking hideous owner ala Al Davis-- Or you can know some football, but think you know more than you do like Jerry Jones.
At the end of the day, who cares? It's a business. If he can make the franchise better, more power to him. I do not think he will be one of these vocal, jackass on TV constantly type owners like Mark Cuban. Rush is not going to do anything to hurt himself economically. If anything, I think owning the team might calm him down a bit.

I'm going to go get a hammer and fix this sentence.
-
I find it funny that somehow they think Rush is a racist, but I guess none of the other owners are? Whatever. Keep thinkin' that. This is nothing more than a Sharpton torpedo job to get his goofy ass on TV.
-

LOL do you even watch football? you may get one or 2 other players off the rams that will go start anywhere else in the league.

Why the NFL Can’t Let Rush Limbaugh Be a Team Owner « blog maverick
Oct 13th 2009 9:23PM
First, let me say I love when I can talk about other leagues. It’s a freedom I really, really enjoy. But lets get to the issue.
I’m guessing the NFL doesn’t really care about what Rush has said before on his show and on other platforms. If it were really an issue, they never would have let him in the broadcast booth a few years back.
What they should be terrified about , and why they should keep him out, is what he might say AFTER he was an approved investor in the St Louis Rams.
The NFL has plenty of owners who I am sure have very strong political opinions. I’m willing to bet that many of them back up those opinions with donations that are all part of the public record. I’m sure some of those probably don’t align with the best interests of the NFL or even the majority of their fans and customers. I can give you a minor example I have had with the NBA. I am never on the same page as the NBA when it comes to copyright issues. I believe we waste too much NBA money trying to fight piracy and other intellectual property issues. We have agreed to disagree on this and other issues. It’s not a problem. Nor do individuals who fall on either side of the copyright issue make their sports consumption decisions based on copyright positions.
Its a great thing that we all just accept the fact that owners, leagues and fans can be on different sides of a variety of issues. We love our sports and want to reserve a spot for them away from life’s partisan issues and problems. Thank goodness for that !
The problem with Rush is that its his job to take on all of life’s partisan issues and problems. Not only is it his job to take on these issues and problems, its key to his success that he be very opinionated about whichever issues he feels are important to him and/or will cause his very large audience to tune in. Given that we will never know what the “next big issue ” in this world that Rush will be discussing on his show is, its impossible for the NFL to even try to predict or gauge the impact on the NFL’s business if something controversial, or even worse yet, something nationally polarizing happens. There is an unquantifiable risk that comes with the size of Rush’s audience. The wrong thing said on the show, even if its not spoken by Rush himself, about a sensitive national or world issue could turn into a Black Swan event for the NFL.
Thats a huge risk that is not commensurate with the value a minority investment in a franchise brings.
This isnt about Free Speech. Its about the NFL protecting their business. There is no reason to put it at risk. If Rush were to retire from his show, or become a local DJ in Sacramento, or just about anything else he may want as a vocation, then I dont think they would have any problem with him being an investor in a team.
Given the current set of circumstances, they would be crazy to approve him as an owner.

^absolute bull shit^ this is assuming that rush will try and inject some political bs into this team or his position on the team.
First off he wouldnt be a sole owner but a group of ppl who own the rams...
second off there are plenty of ppl with political ideology that dont inject them into other areas of their life...
its idiotic and down right assinine to think that rush would operate in the same fashion in this arena as he would in the political arena...
-
LOL do you even watch football? you may get one or 2 other players off the rams that will go start anywhere else in the league.
LOL do you even know anything? your thought process is flawed,however you are right that only 1-2 players are good enough to start else were....thats why over half the players on the team will be cut after the season...then another quarter of the players are free agents which means they can go play for other teams....so with 3/4 of the players gone...and the fact that alot of star players along with the players union have been outspoken against Limbaugh.what do you think the Rams chances of building a team would decent players would be?Hence my statement.
If Rush buys this team look for them to have many years just like the year there having this year...
-
its idiotic and down right assinine to think that rush would operate in the same fashion in this arena as he would in the political arena...
Thats the only way he knows to operate...thats why he got kicked off the pregame football show he was on so fast..He knows how to do nothing else but being a loud mouth and state his opinions as facts....
-
So we have Jesse Jackson,who has admitted to spitting in white peoples food and Al Sharpton who made up out of thin air a rape case to ram whites into jail and caused riots, opposing Rush.Thse are the two jackoffs that dictate NFL policy?

For the record, I think Al Sharpton is a bigger clown than Rush Limbaugh.
The difference between the two are that some people actually tend to take Rush serious.
Al Sharpton is just... a fool.
Not even worth paying attention to.
But both are definitely racists.
-
he damn sure promoted it...i aint stupid.
I'm neutral on Limbaugh, but I'm pretty sure he didn't promote it - he parodied it. Big difference. You should listen to the transcript.
People just running with this stuff is part of the problem. I've heard callers on the radio making the same statements, without actually hearing the context of it.

al Sharpton is no fool. He is a ruthless zealot. Read about what happened at a place called Freddy's in the Bronx on Pelham Parkway. This is about 2 minutes from me and he incited a riot where they burned the damn place down and I think a few people died.

As usual Rush destroys the left!!!!!!Sharpton ,a guy who invented a rape case and Jackson,a guy who said the Duke case was about white men lusting after black women,are the ones attacking Rush and the dumb ass libs defend those two race baitors.

Great clip. The left is just jealous of Rush since they dont, wont, cant, and have never had anyone close to equal popularity, stature, and influence of Rush.

First off...I hate sharpton more than Rush...WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY more. But yall have always known i dont suscribe to subhuman racist, race based ideals..I leave that to prehistoric cave man idiots to think like that...
But anyway. Rush said that whites and blacks need to ride different buses. Sounds like Jim Crow seperation policies. YEah that happened on that bus, that day but you know how many integrated buses probably rode to school that same day in that same town..and now multiply by that by the whole country. And rush used that for a catalyst to deliver a doctrine of seperate but equal...give me a fuckin break.
And also for the fucking record. We arent on sharptons "team" because we are black...Just like we arent against Rush because he is white. Only idiots and dumb ass morans suscribe and think the world is run with the US vs THEM based on race theory. On both sides...White and black. The only people who make that system work are assholes in the Pen...Those idiots locked up doin hard time..yeah they use the Black White Mexican rules...Way to go racists...great rolemodels ::)

Once again,that was said as a joke.If you dont listen to Rush and just watch a dyke like Maddow or a dunce like Olbermann give you what Rush said you have no idea of how it was said.It would be like me having someone write down Chris Rock material,not hearing it,then me saying the guy is a racist.Unless you listen to the show,understand when hes joking and being serious,its easy to not get it.

no doubt you think fucktards like crabtree, T.O., or haynesworth are the exception Ldawg?
hahahah shit no they are the rule ppl like andre johnson and emmit smith are the exceptions
most would sell their mother down the river before they let their ideologies stand in the way of making money...

Marginal players yes. Free agents won't go. No way, no how. Besides it'll get blocked and he won't become sh*t. The guy tried to be a commentator and failed due to his true racist colours. First black player to speak out against him $10 says Rush goes on some racist tirade on his radio show. That's not what the NFL wants or the players want.
-
God almighty-- Steven A Smith nailed it. If he has money and would be a compatent owner, this is a non-issue.
White players 100% wont care, and a very small ( and stupid) minority of black players would refuse to sign with the Rams because of Limbaugh.
With all the guys that would give their left nut to play in the NFL and the small window that these athletes have to cash in, does anyone really believe that able bodied NFL players would refuse to play for the Rams?
This isn't a Columbia University sit in at the faculty cafeteria, this is professional sports!

BTW - LETS GO YANKEES!
You should drop into the sports forum. Not enough baseball talk there.

Marginal players yes. Free agents won't go. No way, no how. Besides it'll get blocked and he won't become sh*t. The guy tried to be a commentator and failed due to his true racist colours. First black player to speak out against him $10 says Rush goes on some racist tirade on his radio show. That's not what the NFL wants or the players want.
Your an ass.Money talks in sports.Please,once again,show me a racist rant that RUSH ACTUALLY SAID.Not one made up by dyke Maddow or dumb ass Ed Shultz or dunce Olbermann.Total failures all!
By the way,Rush said NOTHING racist about McNabb.It was the truth.If you want to talk failures look at football night in America with the jerkoff Olbermann THATS failing.

Great clip. The left is just jealous of Rush since they dont, wont, cant, and have never had anyone close to equal popularity, stature, and influence of Rush.
is that why you're jealous of obama?

Going down as the reincarnation of Jimmy Carter is not something I am jealous of 240. Good Try.

Obama isnt close to as popular as Reagan.

Obama isnt close to as popular as Reagan.
President Reagan's job approval rating dropped by more than 20 points to 46 percent in November 1986
And Obama is at 50+%
So much for your theory.
-
and Bush wasn't close to as popular as Obama. I dont understand your comparison.
Obama will never and could never be Reagan.
Reagan did not hate this country and its founding principles. Reagan loved what this country is supposed to stand for.
Obama on the other hand . . . . ..

shawn merriman already said he'd sit down and speak with him...and would consider playing for him...he's not marginal in my book...and i doubt..with the amount of players in the nfl the only ones willing to cash his paychecks would be marginal players...fame and fortune is fleeting..and i doubt players are willing to risk forgoing a contract offer based on who owns an interest in a team.

Reagan won in the largest landslide in history.He won 49 states.So much for your theory.Obama is a piece of dung on the shoe of Reagan.

The group that will try to buy the Rams plans to drop Rush Limbaugh, a source with knowledge of the situation told NFL Network’s Jason La Canfora.
Limbaugh, the conservative radio host, was supposed to be a minority part of a group led by St. Louis Blues owner Dave Checketts, but his inclusion has drawn criticism. Colts owner Jim Irsay said Tuesday that he wouldn’t vote for Limbaugh, who has made controversial comments about Eagles QB Donovan McNabb and other African-Americans. Revs. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton and NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith also have spoken out against Limbaugh.
The current owners of the Rams might end up not selling, but they will go through the process of assessing interest in the team.

Please tell me how Rush is a racist?
Rush is, IMHO, a racist.
His obsession with Obama's race and constant need to somehow find problems with it is a testament to this:
http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/200906260019
Sharpton ran for your partys presidential candidate.
I don't affiliate with the Democrats.
He spoke at the democratic national convention.The democrats take him VERY seriously.
Like I've stated earlier I believe, I am no fan of Sharpton.
No fan.
If he's a member of the Democratic Party I think they were right in allowing him to speak.
I tend to be a big fan of freedom of speech, and plurality of opinions.
I don't like either Sharpton or Limbaugh. But I wouldn't want either to be silenced.
If Rush is a racist,then Obama CLEARLY is one as well.
Really? Explain.

1-"the white mans greed runs a world in need"
2-allowed Rev. Lowery to speak at his inaugeration
3-sat in a racist church for twenty years
4-sided with Gates over Crowley
5-picked stomayor as supreme court justice
6-dropped charges against the black panthers
Thats six things we know of.The examples of media matters were all said tongue in cheek.People are too stupid to understand Rushs' humor and to thin skinned to laugh at jokes.Its ok for black Chris Rock but not Rush.Most of Rushs;' critics are self hating white libs that are ashamed of their own race.
Now,we have Jackson a man who used to spit in white peoples food,and Sharpton,a man that made up a race case in the Tawanna Brawley incident,dictating policy.Thats a freaking disgrace.Please name ONE THING Rush has EVER done in his life that compares to spitting in peoples food or inventing a rape case.

This whole fucking thing is stupid, over and over again is see this shit. When it comes right down to it, when you want someone silenced they get labeled a racist wheather they are or aren't. All the fained outrage by the poor millionair football players, give me a break. This whole PC environment makes me want to vomit.

Typical left wing double standards, reverse racism, hypocrisy, insanity, and immaturity.
Jay Z can be part owner of the Nets, but Rush cant be part of owner of a football team.
I got it.

How is olbermann failing on football night in america? It's one of the most watched shows every week and he is a part of it. How is that failing?
-
HAHAHA Rush! Sorry son but you won't be joining that club any time EVER.

lol have you seen him on there? its pretty hard to watch
the reason its one of the most watched shows is b/c of football not olbeirman as can be seen by his ratings on his msnbc show...

The preview show that dumb ass Olbermann is on comes in third almost every week in network ratings.The game gets ratings where Olbermann isnt on.This man is a ratings killer for anything he touches.
-
HAHAHA Rush! Sorry son but you won't be joining that club any time EVER.
Your happy about that?Your happy that two filthy racists like Jackson and Sharpton dictate policy.Jackson,a guy who used to spit in white peoples food?I wish hed spit in my food Id beat the black off that filthy spook.Sharpton,a guy who invented a rape case and tried to destroy innocent whites.Jackson who said the Duke rape case was about white men lusting after black women when ,in fact,it was about a dirty little black whore inventing a rape case.
The idea that your happy that two fucking thug criminals did this shows your a tool and probably a little racist yourself.

What I find most amusing is the so called "tolerant" liberals on this board. They have no idea what the context of what was being said is, but immediately condemn Rush because they don't like him. Talk about a bunch of hypocritical assclowns.
Yes all libs rejoice, but when your turn comes don't start bitch ass crying about it.

Who you talkin about cuzz
Blacken,240,lurker,it goes on and on.Guys who dont listen to Rush but listen to Olbermanns interpretation of Rush and then think they are experts on Rush.The same ones who say Rush said "James Earl Ray deserves a medal" when that is a made up lie pushed by race baitors like Jackson.

Oct. 23, 1983. A truck crashed into the lobby of a four-story United States Marines barracks at the Beirut Airport, which was surrounded by the city's Shiite Muslim slums. The driver set off the largest non-nuclear hostile explosion ever recorded by seismographs, killing 241 U.S. servicemen, including 220 Marines. At the same time, another suicide bomber killed 58 French peacekeepers. "We have vital interests in Lebanon," said Reagan the next day. "This vicious attack will not cause the United States to weaken in its resolve. We will not be intimidated."
Feb. 25, 1984. Larry Speakes, Reagan's press secretary issued a written statement from the president -- Reagan wanted no video of this one -- saying: "To take the initiative away from the terrorists ... I have asked Secretary of Defense Weinberger to present me with a plan for redeployment of the Marines from the Beirut Airport to their ships offshore." The statement ended: "America is back. Standing Tall."
March 30, 1984. The ships sailed away. George Will, the conservative columnist, called it, "Retreating Tall."
