Very interesting…

Oct. 12 (Bloomberg) — Rush Limbaugh’s future as a National Football League owner will be determined by his wallet, not his words.

Big bucks trump flaming bombast, especially in this economic climate.

The conservative talk-radio personality, a Missouri native and short-lived ESPN football analyst, is part of an investor group that wants to buy a controlling stake in the St. Louis Rams.

While the Rams, winless in five games this season, aren’t a trophy property like, say, the Dallas Cowboys, they’re still part of the most watched and successful U.S. sports league. There are only so many franchises to go around.

Limbaugh’s group is led by former Madison Square Garden President and current St. Louis Blues and Real Salt Lake majority owner Dave Checketts, who brings a wealth of sports industry contacts, know-how and credibility. Checketts also brings big-time backers like George Soros, who financed the duo’s failed attempt to buy the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2003.

    If George Soros is part of this project in any way, I will never, ever attend, watch, root or participate in any way with the Rams. In fact, I hope that if that commie cocksucker, anti-American, Obama controlling, worthless piece of shit, Soros has anything to do with the Rams that they move them out of the midwest – the REAL American – and take them back to the koolaid drinkers in LA LA Land.

      I guess my greater question is why would Rush want to be part of any investment group that had George Soros in it?

      Seems a bit odd if you ask me…

    I think Rush was set up. period

    … and it will show how stupid the NFLPA and the players are for not knowing who that scumbag is.

    So, why is it that Rush, the “far right hatemonger” can’t take part in NFL ownership, but Soros, the even farther left anti-American lunatic is welcomed with open arms…. :???: :roll: :???:

    I used to watch a lot of football. Now it is just the playoffs and the SuperBowl.
    If this group brings the devil incarnate George Soros on board, I will personally boycott the NFL.
    I find it more enjoyable to to participation sports anyway.
