I am really sick to death of how this whole Rush Limbaugh thing has played out. Aside from the fact most of the"Limbaugh Comments" people were mad about were not even real is the fact that such a fire storm against Limbaugh would never happen to someone like say Rev. Sharpton. How many individuals are there who have made real statements and done things that simply get over looked. All Jessie Jackson had to do when he was caught cheating was to apologize and it was forgotten. Was this whole Limbaugh fiasco not the same dam thing as the Red Scare? "Are you now or have you ever been a racist"?
Would Rush Limbaugh have been bad for the NFL? I don't know, it seems like maybe players behaving badly would be a worse problem that owners who have a radio show during the day. Some people might think players who run over and kill pedestrians while drunk might be bad. Dog Fighting Quarterbacks might put the NFL in a negative light. Wide receivers who shoot themselves in the leg while out attending a night club might make people think twice about allowing their children to get so involved in the NFL. P.O.S Scumbags who like to "make it rain" at the strip club might not create the wholesome environment that some people expect from might be role models.
People who actually listen to Rush and pay attention understand how ridiculous it is to pigeon hole him as a racist. Is he divisive? Maybe a little but only because liberals make it so easy. I'm not suggesting anyone needs to follow my lead on this one but I'm going to think long and hard before I spend anymore money on the NFL. I may not stop watching the Chicago Bears all together but I'm certainly not going to be going to any games or buying any new official NFL gear for a long long time. If the NFL doesn't want conservatives money that's fine, they won't get any more of mine.
Cheers,
Mike
