It looks like Rush is out. So, I guess there is NO point of posting anything further on the subject. The still-positive point here is that the local-group who wants to keep the Rams in St. Louis is moving forward to buy and keep the team there. Going back to Rush or whomeever joins the buyer’s group: I’m NO proponent of Rush Limbaugh or ANY political pundit on either side of the aisle. However, if Rush Limbaugh or whomever has the money to put forth, they should NOT be blocked. Isn’t this still a capitalist economy? This includes the polar opposites of Rush: Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, or whoever. If they wanted to buy into the team, I would say “great” – especially if it meant keeping the Rams in St. Louis. Realistically, aren’t they just as devisive as Rush Limbaugh? When it comes down to it, does anybody really know the true political views of the other NFL owners? NO! Obviously, Rush is an exception because his views are well known. Regardless, he would not be the sole-owner and the group would run it as the business that it is. Regarding the players who said they would boycott games in St. Louis: wouldn’t that be breach of contract? As mentioned above, do they know the political-views of the other oweners? If they find out and disagree, will they boycott games in those cities? If the group is sold to another group that ends up moving the team OUT of St. Louis – that would be worse than Rush Limbaugh being “PART” of a “GROUP” that would keep the team IN St. Louis. ALL of those who seem to care so much about this in the HERE and NOW and have spoken out against the deal won’t care either way if the team leaves St. Louis.

Let’s look at what makes the St. Louis Cardinals such a value to the St. ouis. A doctor, a teacher, a maintenance worker, a janitor and a CEO of a large corporation can all talk to one another about the Cardinals in a sense of brotherhood. They owner of the team understand that spirit of the team actually belongs to all of us. The Cardinals unite our city and represent us to the world in a way we like. Rush Limbaugh is a proven divider of people. He is the very opposite of what makes the Cardinals a model franchise. The Rams will never have full community support if Rush or anyone like him (from the left or the right) is part of the ownership.

All Rush is missing is his WHITE SHEET! Maybe he’s changed…but then again you can put a monkey in a suit & it’s still a monkey. Rush has no dignity or integrity to be part of the NFL. All fans & all players of all teams should boycott because he can’t fire the whole team. As a St. Louisian all my life-50+yrs. I’m proud of my state & my teams. Win or lose I stand behind them. Sports has no place for bigotts, politics or religion. He’s nothing but a big mouth discriminatory sh-t disturber. He’s too controversial a person to be in charge of anything but himself. Isn’t it bad enough that Anheiser-Bush was sold??? Do we have to withstand this embarrassment too?? All his money to purchase anything is tainted with hate. What Rush needs is a Ram up his ass…Boom!!!!!

I was wondering if you have some direct quotes or possibly some transcrips to back up your statements. Oh….I didnt think so. So you as a liberal figure anyone who doesn’t believe what you believe should not be able to buy a business? Who is the biggot in this situation? I believe you just said you dont like White Males. You racist pig!! See how that works Deidra? You might want to have some facts before you label someone as a racist.

You seem to be a very foolish person. What does China have to do with anything? Rush Limbaugh is the most listened to broadcaster in the US. He can only bring good exposure to the team. And… I would like to add, the only relationship I can see to this deal and China is the fact that a small group of elite,very wealthy people have formed a little network where a persons political beliefs could possibly get them banished from “society”. Maybe If Rush goes to one of those re-education camps and gets is mind right he can buy the RAMS.

It is not specifically directed to the politics. It is directed at the man. That is unless you are saying that all conservatives are racists, which I hope is not the case. You shouldn’t make broad statements about what other people do. I have listened to Rush on many occasions, only to eventually have to turn off the radio in disgust. The problem with this country is the sheep like you that can’t formulate an opinion yourselves. You are the problem with this country.

I’ve been a Rams fan for 40 years. I stayed through the good years and the BAD years. I stayed when they moved from LA to St Louis. I won’t stay if Rush is part owner.

what’s the problem? what has happened to this country??? when was the owning of a business up for a vote by the people? to not allow someone to purchase a business because you disagree with their politics is called fascism. it’s funny to see the liberals so darned non-tolerant. i think that is quite hypocritical. most folks who “hate” Rush have never listened to him.
