Limbaugh Claws his way into NFL

The recent interest from conservative radio show host Rush Limbaugh to buy the struggling 0 and 5 St. Louis Rams, has players and the public yearning for intervention. This development began when Mr. Limbaugh decided to partner up with St. Louis Blues owner Dave Checketts.

For anyone unaware of Limbaugh's reputation, he is an extreme right wing republican radio show host. He has in his years on the airwaves become notorious for remarks concerning minorities, and more specifically African Americans. He once said in regard to the nation's African American population, "they're 12 percent of the population, who the hell cares!"(http://newsone.com/elections/top-10-racist-limbaugh-quotes/).

However his most recent development has taken shape in his desire to buy St. Louis' NFL team, the Rams. Immediately the league, and the public have been in uproar about the possibility of permitting a public bigot to be at the helm of one of the dynastic franchises in NFL history. The only things that must occur for this to actually fall through are the approval from the commissioner Roger Goodell, and a three fourths majority vote between all the current owners.

The owners, as not to even remotely parallel themselves with Limbaugh have been reluctant to comment in where they stand on the issue. The most important thing to see is who really are the NFL owners. The truth is they are nearly all older white republican men, who, maybe not as vocally, share the same political opinions as Mr. Limbaugh. More importantly, these men are all men of business, looking for the next way to make a quick buck. If a person has the interest and most importantly the money, epecially in these times, then it would be perfectly logical for them to allow Rush into the exclusive group of NFL owners.

But unfortunately, I think that in these harsh economic times, money will overpower morality. They will find compromise in telling themselves that one other rich white republican guy can't hurt that much, even if he did wish Obama would run the country into the ground just to say 'I told you so'. This is simply just another testament to the greediness of America's elite, who will only fuel other more complicated problems in our society.
