The Limbaugh Rams?

Rush Limbaugh is part of a group of wealthy investors wanting to purchase the St. Louis Rams. He's not the main guy, just one of the investors but that doesn't matter. There are plenty of sportswriters, liberal media members, and of course, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, who are all opposed to this. They don't believe he deserves to be part owner of an NFL team because of a comment he made about Donovan McNabb in 2003. He said McNabb was overrated because the media only wanted to see a black quarterback succeed. That comment is what the roar is about. I can look at that comment and take from it that he was looking at a situation and giving an honest opinion. I don't see in that comment that he hates black people. I don't see that he hates McNabb. People can argue whether it is appropriate for tv or not but should that keep an extremely successful and business savvy guy from being a part owner of a team? Let's look at it this way: Rush has a ton of money and wants to PAY FOR an ownership role in this franchise. Pac man Jones GOT PAID to get arrested 6 times and leave a man paralyzed for life because of a disagreement in a strip club. Mike Vick (who I thought SHOULD get a second chance) got that chance after lying to his team owner, teammates, federal agents, and the league about dog fighting. Ricky Williams got back into the league after a ton of marijuana incidents. Now why shouldn't Rush be allowed to buy part of a team? He's not asking for a spot on NFL sunday countdown again so he can make some comment that people don't agree with. Roger Gooddell is completely against it. He won't have Limbaugh owning a team in his league even though he has given multiple chances to players after breaking the law or making terrible decisions. Al Sharpton doesn't think he should be allowed to purchase a portion of the team because obviously he's a racist and wouldn't work well with the two thirds of the players that are black. Jesse Jackson thinks that Rush's comments should disqualified from being a part owner for this comment. that's the same Jesse Jackson who wanted to cut Obama's nuts off...remember that? and the same Al Sharpton who was made famous by the Tawana Brawley hoax. Give me a break. I think that if this man has brought himself into a position to have the kind of money and business knowledge to buy a team then he should be allowed. I mean the NFL doesn't believe in second chances...right pac man? right williams? right vick?
