They don’t like controversy?

Al Sharpton as their Commissioner is not controversial?

“Al Sharpton as their Commissioner is not controversial?”

I’m sorry, but I’m a little slow sometimes. What’s this about Sharpton being Commmissioner?

The new NFL Commissioner, Al Sharpton.

He is the official decision maker now.

Limbaugh’s group is led by former Madison Square Garden President and current St. Louis Blues and Real Salt Lake majority owner Dave Checketts, who brings a wealth of sports industry contacts, know-how and credibility. Checketts also brings big-time backers like George Soros, who financed the duo’s failed attempt to buy the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2003.

Text of the email I STILL CAN’T get through to the NFL. After I send the email, I get a note that tells me that they can’t access the next page or something. Is the NFL getting a lot of mail today?????

This is my latest attempt at contacting the NFL regarding their discriminatory treatment of Rush Limbaugh. Apparently, servers have crashed.

I’ve watched the NFL all my life from the days of Deacon Jones and the outstanding Lenny Dawson KC Chiefs Superbowl win in 1969. I’ve taken life lessons from Hank Stram and Roger Stauback.

Today’s NFL has slipped to a cultural morass. It’s alright for Sunday Night Host Keith Olberman to call Michelle Malkin a “Meat Bag with Lipstick” but Rush Limbaugh cannot be allowed to hold a minor ownership position?

It might make some sense if anyone could actually show documentary evidence of alleged racist remarks surrounding Limbaugh. Truth is they can’t. All the media has are accusations that border close to slander and libel.

I can’t say I’ll never watch another NFL game. But I can say, I’ll NEVER GIVE THE NFL ANOTHER DIME OF MY MONEY and that includes the NFL Ticket merchandise and tickets to a game.

Maybe the NFL is "bigger" than Rush, sam, but this is about far more than just Rush. It's an attack on conservatism. It's an attack on the American people. And it's yet another sign of the Marxist takeover of everything in this country.

But there is one important factor that needs to be considered. "We the People" are awake, we are organized, and we are active.

Right now I don't think the NFL knows what's hit them, and we ain't done yet.

Optimism, my FRiend......OPTIMISM. We CAN make a difference.

The games outcomes are now visibly controlled by the officials most of the time.

Ding, ding, ding, we have a WINNER!!!

Just save yourself a lot of grief and be sure your team is one of the "anointed favorites" of the NFL hierarchy.

Just listened to Rush's opening monologue.

He is clearly not going to sue and still considers himself an NFL fan, but he correctly assessed this situation in its political context as part of "Obama's America" which now included the NFL. He also articulated Checkett's association with Soros (that he did not previously know about).

It is up to US to put pressure on the NFL because they have sold out to the political left.

LOL. You can’t sue over not getting into a business deal — partners can be rejected for any reason, or no reason.

this story has sent shockwaves through the Conservative movement. I suspect it is going to stay alive for quite a while.

Er.... what is going to stay alive for quite a while? I forget.....

IOW, for the NFL:

“Conservatives Need Not Apply”

I’m bummed he’s not going to sue, I’m sorry. That’s just letting them get away with this behavior, he’s given them a victory.

Now I'm not so sure. He said something about "these things take time" and that everything needs to be in place.

Maybe he's just not giving out his plans.

(Now replaying a phone call from the Hutch, who is REALLY mad).

That isn’t what I heard. A little later in the show Rush said they were still gathering information and potential options and he couldn’t speak of their intent until that process was completed.

IMO, lawsuits are still on the table.
