As far as I can tell President Obama has nothing to do with this. The NFL players don't want Limbaugh as an owner because he is a bigot and they feel there is no room in the NFL for bigotry, rightly so I might add. Judging from past posts and your spelling of our Presidents name with a 0 would lead people to believe that you might not have an issue with Limbaugh;s bigotry. Big surprise there.

WOW ... you really are suffering from ODS ... Obama Derangement Syndrome!

This has nothing to do with Obama whatsoever.
It has to do with Rush Limbaugh's long history of queer racial comments that cause people to believe he harbors a demeaning attitude toward blacks.
And ... given that many Football employees are black ... they are voicing their opinion.
Are you saying they have no right to voice their opinion?
Granted ... that is a typical Right Wing preference ... but in The United States of America ... the Right has not succeeded in shutting down the people's right to comment.

If he's got the cash then he should be allowed to conduct business just like anybody else

Like Marge Schott who was banned from managing the Reds after her racial slurs?
I hope the other NFL owners vote Mr. AnalCyst down for any part of any team. -

Good point.

But I think he's past the drug thing ... he didn't even get punished ... thanks to the ACLU.
Wow ... the ACLU ... the same ACLU that Rush pilloried ... Man Alive ... Rush really defines the blatant hypocrisy of the right.
You know what I say ... hypocrisy can only thrive in a petrie dish of Moral Vacancy.

I'm sure Limbaugh's money is green enough. And realistically, I don't think any NFL player cares much about who owns the team as long as he gets paid. The ideal owner has deep pockets and lets the football operations pretty well alone. The problem might come with the expectation that an owner not do something to embarrass the NFL; and thus reduce the value of other franchises. I'm not not sure that Rush has the self-discipline for this-- recall the rather dumb Donavan McNabb flap of several years back when Rush had a (mercifully short) try at being a commentator.

On the other side of the coin, there's plenty of evidence in the corporate world that things function much better when upper management and the workers have a mutual respect for each other. That might, going in both directions, be a big hurdle to overcome; at least judging by some of Limbaugh's public statements.-

I'm sure Limbaugh's money is green enough as well.

However, I've submitted a story that points to Rush's many racist comments ...
http://www.propeller.com/story/2009/10/12/top-10-r...
One of the quotes was ...
You know who deserves a posthumous Medal of Honor? James Earl Ray [the confessed assassin of Martin Luther King]. We miss you, James. Godspeed.
I think there would be a large number of St. Louis Rams employees who would be pretty offended ... and not motivated to want to play for such a team owner.
