Rush Limbaugh confirmed last week that he and St. Louis Blues owner Dave Checketts are interested in buying the amazing St. Louis Rams (0-5).  Rush made quite a splash in the NFL during his time with ESPN by saying that Donovan McNabb was overrated due to the color of his skin.  It is primarily for that reason that his decision to buy the team is being met with such fierce opposition.  Al Sharpton is the most recent “high profile” public figure to express outrage over the news.  Various NFL players and members of the NFLPA have also voiced their concern.  Even the soft-spoken, politically correct Jason Whitlock has expressed his opinion.

I’ll admit that I am not the biggest fan of Rush Limbaugh for various reasons.  I am not even sure that he would know the first thing about running a professional football team.  Furthermore, the Rams have no chance of saving face this season.  They are bad.  A new ownership probably won’t help balance the ”win” side of the standings.  Nevertheless, I don’t see why the man should be banned from owning a team for the comments he made in the past.  He may be a loudmouth bastard, but so are many other team owners.  I certainly don’t condone racism, but is he really the first racist figure to enter the league?  Give me a break.  Besides, I just can’t see him becoming a racist figure of tyranny and oppression under Roger Goodell’s reign.  Roger would destroy Rush in such a circumstance. 

Maybe a new ownership will do this team some good.  They are so bad right now.
