Demaurice Smith is a former federal attorney. He gave the maximum allowable contribution to Obama in 2008. He is now in private practice with Patton Boggs, a “megafirm” with a lot of Arab oil clients and a major lobbying force. From Wikipedia: “. . . In addition to the firm's Washington, D.C. headquarters, it maintains offices in. . .Doha, Qatar and Abu Dhabi, UAE. .The firm is consistently ranked as the nation’s number one lobbying firm by the National Journal, Roll Call, Influence and The Hill Newspaper.”

These people sound like Politburo members

I wonder if Rush could sue these snobs.

Listen all: The problem in the NFL isn't just Goodell, isn't just the Colts' owner. The problem mainly lies with us as its "fans."

The NFL has been slowly going liberal since AT LEAST turning over the entirety of its SuperBowl halftime shows to CBS & its Janet Jackson "on parade."

Worse, does the NFL admin speak out against Liberal owners like Jerry Jones of the Cowboys and also the Seattle Seahawks' organization? Not to my knowledge. Both Dallas and Seattle have made Life Decisions International boycott lists for giving $ to Planned Parenthood.

But do conservative/Christian fans in Texas and Washington seem to care? Do they let the owners know they're fed up with this? Do they consider boycotting these teams?

WE are the problem. Cowboy fans are the problem. SeaHawks' fans are the problem. And now Colts' fans are the potential problem.

As long as your precious "football" hobbies mean more than the lives of the preborn, then that says it all.

This isn’t about football. This is the White House running a double reverse on Rush’s ability to stop Socialized Medicien. Goddell doesn’t even know he’s a dupe.

I don't think he would either, for the same reason he wants to buy the team.

He loves the game. He loves the players.

These people are leftist idiots, and I hope this hurts them BIG time with the American people.

I wonder if Mr. Jane Skinner (Roger Goddell) feels the same way about Fox News Channel...where his wife works...

By the way....college football is a better, more entertaining game. And, you tend to find more conservatives (esp in the South) at the games and putting the money behind the big programs.

Also, you think the NFL would welcome Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas into the luxury suite section....like the Univ of Nebraska welcomes Justice Thomas when he attends Huskers games?

I can’t.

Then you support all of this anti-Rush malarkey!

There’s a big difference beween “can’t” and “won’t”. Only one of those words puts you in control of your own actions.


Whatever. I’m not going to ruin my football season by not watching. I don’t buy tickets, rarely purchase apparel, nor do I purchase programs like NFL season ticket.

I don’t make a monetary impact either way.

I did however run my mouth on the Colts forum, where I think I can actually make somewhat of difference believe it or not.

The question is, would conservative football fans participate in a boycott of the NFL, would they be able to abstain from the NFL long enough to get their feeling across to the NFL? I know most men (especially conservative) are utterly addicted to the watching of the sport of Football. I wonder if Rush could spearhead a boycott of the NFL to put pressure on them to re-think their snap knee jerk judgment of him.

I can boycott them but I doubt many conservatives would do such. Now on the other hand if reversed the libs would definitely boycott. They have a passion & goal. Most conservatives are RINOs - that's why we have only one pol party. 2nd RUSH has never be active in any actions. Before he is taken down he will see his entertainment needed activism. Afraid it's too late.

Exactly. There’s a greater purpose here. The NFL is just a pawn.

Unless you have a Neilsen box attached to your television, they'll never know if you still watch the games. If you just make a lotta noise (write letters and emails) and stop buying their merchandise, you can still secretly watch the games.

If you actually do have a Neilsen box on your television, tune it to FoxNews and go watch the game at your friend's house.

Maybe if Limbaugh bought the team in the dead of night and moved them to another city, they would approve of him to be an owner. Of maybe they would recall the heir who inherited the Rams and intentionally drove the team into failure so she could take the bonus from St. Louis. Those are the kind of owners they need.

Unless Rush’s group or a superior bid are approved I will boycott the NFL.

I can certainly live without the NFL, especially when there are twenty good college games Thursday through Saturday.

I was thinking that I can record a couple of college games on my DVR and watch them on Sunday. I like college football more than the NFL anyway. No big loss to me.

Well if that is so, NFL, off to the college football games I go!

I haven't watched an entire NFL game since the 1985 Superbowl. It just doesn't appeal to me. I find the pageantry, tradition and rivalry of college football much more appealing and watch every Saturday. My Dad played for the NY Giants in the early 60's and I played football from 8 to 18 and coached Pop Warner and just don't find Pro football all that exciting, same offenses, same defenses, no player loyalty and too much of a circus. Tough up here with all the Steeler worship, which to each his own.

Voyte with your walet. That will send a more effective message. The owners consider people like you that gives them your hard earned money fools anyway.

Yep - going forward because of this, the NFL is dead to me. No games, no attention, no office discussions, and sure as hell NO MONEY.

Limbaugh is bad for business. The owners are trying to negotiate a collective bargaining agreement with the players union even now, and Limbaugh has a bad rep with the players for various reasons. Even though undeserved, they are doing this so that talks don’t heat up too much.
