I am SOO glad that players of the Rams spoke up about their discontent of having Limbaugh as an owner. I am not a fan of Limbaugh so I agree with the majority of those involved in this deal.
At the same time I don't think politics belong in football and I am a firm believer in "what happens in one's personal life shouldn't effect what they do professionally" but Limbaugh is one of the few people I hope goes away forever.
Rush Limbaugh: ESPN Article wrote:"This is not about the NFL, it's not about the St. Louis Rams, it's not about me," Limbaugh said. "This is about the ongoing effort by the left in this country, wherever you find them, in the media, the Democrat Party, or wherever, to destroy conservatism, to prevent the mainstreaming of anyone who is prominent as a conservative.
I laugh because I can almost bet that 80% of NFL owners are Republican, I could be wrong but I couldn't find these stats online, if some one can find it I would appreciate it.
Goodell nailed it on the head with this one:
