Reverends Sharpton & Jackson Try to Stop Rush Limbaughs Bid to Buy the St. Louis Rams.

http://www.thestar.com/sports/football/nfl/article/709126--jesse-jackson-al-sharpton-blast-rush-limbaugh-s-bid-for-rams This time the intrusive, meddling, religious leaders in question are coming from the Left. Al Sharpton, and Jesse Jackson are claiming that Rush Limbaugh is racist, and that he should not be allowed to purchase a NFL team. First of all it is not true that Mr. Limbaugh is racist. If he were then why has he had Walter Willians fill in for him, while he's on vacation? He is certainly strongly conservative, but rightism is not necessarily racist in nature. And further more, even if Rush were to hold extremist sentiments, I feel that it should not impede him from involvement with the Nation Football League. In Italy for example, association football clubs are known to have players and/or fans that are known to have opposing political positions. Livorno for instance is predominately Communist. And Lazio has a reputation for being pro-Fascist. http://www.hartford-hwp.com/archives/62/249.html As a consequence, the two teams are fierce rivals. I feel that if someone like Limbaugh were to invest in a team, it would increase ticket sales, because dittoheads would pay to cheer on the Rams to victory, and detractors would pay to see them go down in flames. I think that it would certainly be a far better reason to be a fan than to be motivated by regionalism. And if Italy can have a backbone, why can't we seem to get past our own rigid political correctness?
