Not a fan of this. I understand the leftwing viewpoint, but outspoken racism? A little much.

I don't suppose that Meereenese knot you're always talking about can be solved by somehow writing Rush Limbaugh into the story and subsequently killing him off. Painfully. Slowly.

If not, do you just want to do it for kicks anyway?

can't someone feather that guy while hes on the privy.

Great, now football will have a Marge Schott too

The Utah Rams....

His partner to be Dave Checketts did a good job (sort of) with the Knicks. He inherited Patrick, but brought in Pat. He never could bring in another top player to team with Ewing. When he became President of Madison Square Garden the Rangers and the Knicks became perennial losers. He's still persona non grata in the Garden. They deserve each other. A brilliant bighead and a bigmouth bighead. I guess Rush will be converting soon.

And speaking of NFL racism, has anyone noticed that there is a team called the Redskins? Why is this team allowed, let alone tolerated, let alone embraced by millions of fans?

See, to many of us Northern Californians, this makes perfect sense.

We get to combine our dislike of the (formerly Los Angeles) Rams with our dislike of Rush.

Win-Win, as far as I'm concerned!

I feel like i have some idea of what's actually going on in American Football thanks to your updates. It was really helpful when i visited USA earlier in the year. People though i actually followed it!

When you come to Australia next year (early Septemeber) it will be finals time for the Australian Football League (AFL). You and Paris should come watch a game! If you are interested please let me know and i can organise it for you.

Limbaugh owning the Rams will make it easy for the defense of opposing teams.

There is no way The Rams will go to the left!

On the plus side, Rush Limbaugh would give me the perfect excuse to leave my woebegotten Rams, finally.

Though having an heiress as an owner - one who (allegedly) may have drowned her own husband - isn't much better.

(Why yes, I -will- argue that a possible single-time in-it-for-the-money murderess is a smidge better than someone who poisons peoples' minds with hate and paranoia on a daily basis. I don't seem to remember Hitler pulling any triggers himself either.)

But Jesus, who would I root for? I was always a big Joe Willie guy, but he wasn't just a Jet.

Kurt Warner's still with the Cards. Hmmm...

Ahhhhh the tolerance of the Left.

Rush Limbaugh is a walking, and unfortunately talking, example of just about every negative stereotype people have about Americans.

Racist, loud-mouthed, arrogant and ignorant of the world outside of his little bubble. I'm lucky to have met enough decent Americans to know that the likes of him aren't representative.

As for football, I'm wondering if the NFL have a 'Fit and Proper Persons' test along similar lines to that which people must pass to own English Premier League (soccer) clubs. I can guarantee that Limbaugh wouldn't pass.

Daniel Snyder will have to work hard, if he wants to remain the most hated owner in the NFL.

I'm here in Missouri. Used to live in St. Lou and plan to move back one day. Checketts (though more importantly, John Davidson) has done an awesome job with the Blues, but that's beside the point. The point is Limbaugh.

While I do find myself listening to him from time to time while at work, there's very little that I wholly agree with him on. Kind of a morbid curiosity that draws me to him. To me, he's more like a conspiracy theorist. Every word that comes from his mouth is perfectly predictable and follows the little left wing trickery he spouts on about. Dunno why he's the most popular blowhard; possibly because he blows the hardest, but he doesn't offer anything new, original, or constructive to debating. He pulls things out of the headlines (or not in the headlines, if you believe the Left control the media, even though the Right monopolizes talk radio) and picks things out that make Dems look bad and ignores those that make Republicans look bad.

That said, the Rams are saaaaaad this year. I think I heard Dick Vermeil was going to hold a press conference just to cry about this team's performance. All we have to look forward to now is a top 3 pick. BTW, who are the likely top candidates? Tebow? or is he not quite NFL caliber?

Sorry GRRM, you're wrong. Rush isn't just a racist he's an overall bigot spewing hate!

Unfortunately, the majority of NFL fans just won't care. Just like NBA fans didn't care when former Jazz owner Larry Miller banned Brokeback Mountain from his movie theaters in Utah. I don't see people boycotting something they love (the NFL) in protest to something they at worst find mildly distasteful (Limbaugh).

How is it that people like Limbaugh linger on and on and on through disease and through drug addiction, while talented people like Michael Jackson, Heath Ledger, River Pheonix, etc. keel over left and right? Limbaugh is just begging for an Oxycontin overdose.

Say what you want about Rush. I'm sure that any Rams fan just wants ownership that is concerned with winning.

While I considering myself a Ron Paul libertarian and think Rush Limbaugh is something of a socialist, I have listened to him enough to know that he's not a racist. All of those quotes on that one page are taken out of context. If you listen to everything he says, he is typically making some sort of sarcastic comment referencing the fact that the left is always calling him a racist. But it still bothers me that he's considered the standard-bearer for the conservative movement. True conservatives want to end the wars overseas, not continue them. And true conservatives talk about ending the Federal Reserve and ending the federal income tax, something he never talks about.

However, racist or not, I don't want to see him as owner of an NFL franchise!!

Since when is there a rule that says assholes can't buy NFL teams? You or I may not agree with his bullshit but that doesn't matter. A man's race, creed, or religion cannot prohibit him from buying something that's for sale. Now some creeds are dumber than others, but all (no matter how stupid) are protected. That's our America. That said at least its the Rams and not the Chiefs.

St. Louis loves you. <3

Speaking as a St. Louis girl who adores your talent.

You clearly never (or rarely) listen to Rush and are just viewing from what you have read. Many of these comments were made in a satirical way. Also, he says these things to prove his point of the other side always painting anyone with opposing viewpoints as a racist. I have listened to him for almost 20 years and if kept in context he has never, in my hearing, said anything remotely racist. Although he may have carried the “Magic Negro” LA Times parody a bit too far. I think it ridiculous that you would stop being a Rams fan if he buys the team. If I used that logic and avoided entertainment made by anyone with a point of view I deem damaging to this county I certainly would not purchase your books and would have to avoid many movies. Opposing viewpoints make this country stronger. One side (left or right) trying to stomp out the other does not help things.

It's so easy to call people racist these days. It's an accusation that I feel has less and less meaning every day. It seems that people, especially on the left of the isle consistently use that word to engender hatred and disdain. Though many peoples comments are ignorant, conceited, even biased, but to call someone racist it should take more proof than what was offered. Has Limbaugh stepped over the line at times? Unequivocally YES! Has Michael Moore stepped over the line at times? Unequivocally YES! Can everyone tone down the rhetoric and actually discuss meaningful and impactful ways to better our country. The idea that Rush Limbaugh should not own an NFL team because he is perceived as racist is ludicrous. I wish that people would stop using the term racist because it is becoming increasingly more antiquated every day. Also I believe that racism is when the government gives people money based UPON THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN. Finally our country is based upon the ideal that people have a right to believe and think what they want even if it is reprehensible. I do however agree with Mr. Martin in principle that actual racism should be fought against. Let's focus our energy on actual racism and not caricatures of it.

George should try and buy the Rams before Limbaugh. I mean Tom Clancy tried to buy Baltimore some years ago, so it could happen. Oooh, and that way he could change the name and the uniforms. Hmmm.... the St. Louis Horrible Hodors. Has a great ring to it,of course he'd have to divert his NY loyalties to his new team.

The players could celebrate touchdowns by doing the Hodor Hop. It'd catch on like wildfire. Forget the Ickey Shuffle.

Seriously, whether one likes it or not, football is a business. As such, racial preferences and prejudices are not implicitly part of the equation. A business, whether it knows the formula or not, wants to succeed. A business who ignores avenues of success is doomed to failure.

Presumably your argument with Rush Limbaugh as an owner of an NFL team is that he will fiercely argue against any proven convention, and invite any black members of his team to instead work his cotton fields? Or perhaps you believe every single approach to every debate and every argument the man has ever made? I would like to believe in the altruistic primrose path of every democrat that ever existed, but I don't.

I hesitate to post this reply because I cannot decide if it encroaches upon your reasonable right to say whatever the heck you'd like to in your own journal, but in this case I just disagree with the principles behind what you've said so vehemently. Politics have little to do with football, let's keep it that way.

Keep the names(Redskins and Chiefs). I actually believe having these names should be proud for Native Americans. Football players are supposed to be like warriors and defend every inch/yard.
Don't mind Rush, but as I am from NYC I will probably be called a rascist for my comment by Rev. Al. What a douche!
