Great article. Although I myself am a hockey man, I can certainly sympathize. Were Rush Limbaugh to become in any way affiliated with my beloved Red Wings it would surely but my long standing love and loyalty for Detroit hockey through the ringer.
I was unaware of his start as ESPN commentator. That a sports commentator who resigned for making racist comments went on to become the leading liar* for the lunatic fringe of the republican party is somehow not as ironic as it should be.

[...] DeMaurice Smith ,the executive director of the National Football League Players Association, has joined with Scott and Kiwanuka in opposing Limbaugh’s bid to join the NFL fraternity. Smith is quoted as saying,“‘Sport in America is at its best when it unifies, gives all of us reason to cheer, and when it transcends. Our sport does exactly that when it overcomes division and rejects discrimination and hatred.” Smith is also urging other NFL players to speak out against Limbaugh’s bid to own the Rams. So What’s the Big Deal? Limbaugh has over the years said some things about the National Football League and its players who are mostly African American that have at least been controversial. For example,in 2007 Limbaugh said, “Look it, let me put it to you this way. The NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods a… [...]

I don’t listen to Rush so I don’t know whether you’ve taken the rest of his comments out of context, but as a Steelers fan and season ticket holder, I do know for certain you are misstating his intent re the bloods/crips = Steelers/Ravens comments. Rush is a long time Steelers fan and is often quoted in the Pittsburgh media and those comments were meant to describe the level of animosity and violent hitting that pervades the games b/w those two teams. So if saying the bloods and crips are violent, rival organizations makes someone a racist, maybe he is. Its interesting that you continue to deridingly refer to me as anonymous internet commenter when you work for a site that encourages such posting. I am, however, happy to contact you directly if you’d like (although I didn’t see an email or phone # listed with your bio). My personal information was also provided when I registered with this site and likely available to you, so I am hardly “anonymous”. I like that you conclude that you share some traits with a few Republicans, therefore you can’t be an angry liberal. Sounds similar to the argument that Limbaugh uses Dungy and a few other black men he admires as proof he isn’t a racist. Bottomline is you don’t like Rush’s politics, so therefore he shouldn’t be permitted to own an NFL team; you can dress that argument up with some Vick t shirt and “anti exercise” anecdotes (still trying to figure out the relevance of that one) but in the end you are doing exactly what those on the left claim so aggressively to stand against = exclusion based upon disagreement with one’s beliefs. All that said, I am glad I stumbled upon your article and this website as I’ve enjoyed the back and forth. Good evening.
