Sharpton Urges Limbaugh be banned from NFL team.

Now its a party! I am surprised Rev Jesse didn't jump on this first.

Al Sharpton urged the N.F.L. in a letter released Monday to reject the conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh’s potential bid to buy the St. Louis Rams. He also asked for a meeting with N.F.L. Commissioner Roger Goodell. It was the latest indication of the controversy Limbaugh’s involvement in the bid has caused, months before N.F.L. owners are expected to consider a new ownership group for the Rams. In his letter, Sharpton, the president of the National Action Network, a civil rights organization, said that the N.F.L. should reject the bid by Limbaugh because he would be bad for the league. Goodell is in Boston, attending owners meetings through Wednesday, and will respond to the letter when he returns, the league spokesman Greg Aiello said. Limbaugh taped an interview for the “Today” show, to be broadcast Tuesday and Wednesday, in which he said the attention generated by his attempt to buy the Rams showed that his detractors wanted to pigeonhole him. “They’re just gonna go nuts,” Limbaugh was quoted saying of his detractors in an account of the interview on MSNBC.com. “This is the kind of stuff they’ve been trying to make sure doesn’t happen with me. All this stuff is the mainstreaming of Rush Limbaugh from off this far-right fringe they’ve tried to put me. I just keep tiptoeing into the mainstream. And it just irritates them.”

If you want to stop Limbaugh, then it would be best that you have the best bid win the team, if you push that you are stopping his group from owning because you hate conservative views, you are going to open up something that will not be pretty for the NFL union and those opposed.
