Why Rush Limbaugh Belongs in the NFL

You can understand why some NFL players are disinclined to work for Rush Limbaugh, should he become a co-owner of the St. Louis Rams. The conservative yakmonster has openly wished for the nation’s first black President to fail — which won’t endear him to a league dominated by black athletes who probably don’t share that sentiment about President Obama. Nor does the country that elected him. And as a commentator for ESPN in 2003, Limbaugh made a racist remark that quickly got him benched: he disparaged Donovan McNabb, arguing that the Philadelphia Eagles QB got higher marks than deserved because of his color. Philadelphia fans were outraged — mostly at being accused of grading anyone on a curve. In Philly, nobody but nobody gets a pass, except the wideouts.
