NFL To Sue Al Sharpton And Jesse Jackson For Libel Over Rush Limbaugh Ousting
Elective Decisions ^ | 11/02/09 | Chris Davis

Posted on 11/02/2009 1:45:42 PM PST by writer33

New York—In a stunning show of support for Rush Limbaugh, the National Football League™ has decided to sue Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson for $300 million in libel over his ousting in a bid to buy the St. Louis Rams.

Sharpton and Jackson, who led the charge in spreading slanderous and libelous racist statements, are now going to have to pay for their thuggish tactics in agitating the mainstream media, the sports media and Americans in general.

NFL Commissioner, Roger Goodell, is spearheading the lawsuit, realizing his egregious error in the generation of revenue that only Rush Limbaugh could’ve added to the National Football League™.

Pity it’s just satire, and not real. :-( I’d love to see those two worthless hate mongers sued into oblivion.

Don’t tip off your satire so early. It is fun to watch people figure out the intent of your post.

Good one by the way.

I wanted to hold it, but then I’d get the lectures from the ‘can’t you post satire in the title people.’

Thanks for reading. Glad you enjoyed it.

Even if it weren’t satire, it wouldn’t be enough to get me back in the NFL fold.

To achieve that, Goodell has got to go!

Obvious satire, because those two thugs enjoy specially-privileged protection that cannot be taken away from them.

Well I guess I’m glad to see the serious nature of what is happening in this nation leaves so much time to keep printing made up news stories and posting them on FR.

The Commish doesn’t have the fortitude - intestinal, or testicular - to do anything of the sort... that was my clue to the satire.

If it were not satire and were true, I doubt anyone would ever see a dime from Jesse jackson , and I know they would never receive a nickel from Sharpton, Sharpton already owes from one suit he has no intention of ever paying.

“I would like to personally apologize to Rush Limbaugh,” stated Commissioner Goodell. “I had no idea that Rush had that much talent. His talent is utterly stunning.

This doesn't sound like Mr. Jane Skinner talking, that was my giveaway moment. This little mealy mouth weasel is probably still sitting in the corner shaking after the smackdown he got from Representative King last week. Now that was hilarious.

Good grief. Got me again. I thought satire was supposed to be unbelievable and outrageously ridiculous. In this country, at this time in history, I’ll believe almost anything that would normally be considered outrageous and ridiculous.

Nope, Elective Decisions, another blogger out there pounding the keyboard.

And agreed, Goodell is a big leftist wuss, and there should be no wusses in the NFL...period. Thanks for reading, Ann Archy. I appreciate it.
