Rush and the Rams - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**Immarsecice** · 10-15-2009, 10:22 PM

McNabb is actually good in spite of his team.
Miami Dolphins are glitzy or have you totally not watched their antics?
Rush should be kept as far away from sports as possible. It's possibly one of the few things he knows less about than government and rights, and he doesn't know a whole lot about those either.

**DownloadADOBEsoftware** · 10-15-2009, 11:02 PM

This is just rich guys arguing about who to let into the club. The NFLPA (aka, the inventory) let it be known that they don't want a jerk like Limbaugh pulling their strings. They don't technically have the legal power to stop it, so they raised the Bad PR flag.

The Checketts group immediately threw Rush under the bus and said they would move on without him; the NFL has taken no actual action.

And I don't know what you're on about with Fergie. There are a bunch of music types buying small bits of the Dolphins. What does that have to do with anything?

**Paiblyelaxy** · 10-15-2009, 11:20 PM

No. He doesn't seem too surprised or bothered by it, which is quite commendable given the way he's been unfairly smeared over the past few days.

Then again, he did have Keith Olbermann's support to bolster him.

**AdobeCreativeSuite** · 10-15-2009, 11:33 PM

Money is money. I don't see why Rush Limbaugh shouldn't be able to invest in an NFL team if that's his heart's desire.

From what I can see, Rush never made an issue of him buying a stake of the Rams. Never brought it up until other people leaked it and started getting in a huff about it.

As for 'incredibly conservative', they let Vick back. If Vick is good enough to play in the NFL and he killed dogs, I don't see why the ownership has a problem with letting Rush buy the Rams. If it is because he's conservative and they don't want conservative's money, well there's quite a few conservatives who actually like NFL football. I suspect Goodell will be hearing from them. If Rush's money isn't good enough for the NFL, then I guess most conservative fans will find the NFL the same way.

Lose, lose for the NFL IMO. The only winner here is Rush.

This is the EXACT same harebrained logic and wording you had about Balsillie and the NHL. It didn't make any sense there, either.

**UriDepkeeks** · 10-16-2009, 01:10 AM

This is the EXACT same harebrained logic and wording you had about Balsillie and the NHL. It didn't make any sense there, either. Well I'm sorry, I believe in market economics. Balsillie had the best offer for the Coyotes, and now the league has to accept an inferior offer, the team will still move, and they are out a year of expenses for team operations. If Rush is part of the best offer for the Rams, I don't see why the league should bar him.

Market economics: teams don't attend games owned by douchebags.

See: Chicago Blackhawks under Wirtz.

**russmodel** · 10-16-2009, 01:31 AM

What about the Leafs under Ballard?

That douchebag had no trouble selling tickets.

**Noxassope** · 10-16-2009, 01:39 AM

Not because he's conservative (so are they).

Checketts has been backed by George Soros in the past and Soros might be involved in the bid to buy the Rams...

Checketts has been backed by George Soros in the past and Soros might be involved in the bid to buy the Rams... Yeah, I may have jumped the gun on the "conservative" thing.
But my point is: This was a business decision by the Checketts group.

If anything, Checketts' associations with both Limbaugh and Soros would underline this.

**clapsoewmred** · 10-16-2009, 02:57 AM

Both Vick and Rush are the victims of a ridiculous society.

**EvonsRorgon** · 10-16-2009, 03:06 AM

The worst hate mongers are the people who hate Rush.

**Babposa** · 10-16-2009, 03:26 AM

As noted, Soros was on the bid

No.

**RerRoktoido** · 10-16-2009, 03:33 AM

Uh, I'm not an Eagles fan. I don't blame Goodell for reinstating him. I blame the Eagles for bringing him back on the field.

Imran is suddenly the voice of conservatives?

Conservatives are that beholden to Rush that they'd stop watching the only thing that gives their life meaning on Sunday besides the lame inspiration of protestant faith?

**EarnestKS** · 10-16-2009, 03:38 AM

Conservatives are that beholden to Rush that they'd stop watching the only thing that gives their life meaning on Sunday besides the lame inspiration of protestant faith? Wow, so I'm a liberal? I don't listen to Rush and I don't go to a protestant church.

Hockey in Canada is a different thing entirely.

**ASSESTYTEAH** · 10-16-2009, 04:30 AM

It's true. There's someone in this very thread wishing death on the man. Meanwhile, the media has been spreading false quotes to slander Limbaugh in such a completely brazen fashion that it can only be explained by a deep-seated hatred for the man.

**gernica** · 10-16-2009, 04:49 AM

HuffPo issues a correction for false Rush quotes, three years after the quotes were first posted.

CNN's Rick Sanchez apologizes for defaming Rush, kind of.

You're also a Canadian and gay. Not a conservative. Canadian, ok. I'll give you that one. As for gay, what makes you think so?
