Rush Limbaugh wants to own the Rams

[Alec22]

[QUOTE=VegasRam;235120]What, exactly, makes him a racist.

Does anyone in this country EVER think for themselves?

I really had no idea of the caliber of people we have on this board.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

First-mcnabb comments makes him a racist.
Next-what rush does everyday is influence peoples views (sadly) causing them often not to think for themselves as rush often does not present both sides of an argument.
Much like papa bear bill he may claim that he is fair and unbiased by having both sides represented, but then will quickly jump to 1 side (right) and all of a sudden its a 2 v 1 shouting match-guess who wins?
As for the "caliber" of people if that is a knock of what appears to be most people against rush that have posted so far then iam all for that "caliber"

With all of this said rush has no chance on becoming the owner of the rams-just not enough money.

Does it matter who the owner is as long as he is (they are) committed to WINNING!?!?

I am not sure Rush has funds to become sole owner but could no doubt be majority owner.

My objections with Rush Limbaugh are not due to his political leanings, but rather because of numerous comments he's made that I perceive to be completely abhorrent.

Good grief, people! An owner that would actually take an interest in winning pops up, and some would be opposed because of his political sway?

I'm as conservative as it gets, but I wouldn't care if Gore, Obama, Stalin, or Al Franken himself owned the team as long as they were committed to putting a winning product on the field.

Rush is Right fit for the Rams. As some has stated, he would be an owner who would put alot of emphasis on winning, much in a way Marc Cuban (Dallas Mavericks), Jerry Jones (Dallas Cowboys) and George Steinbrenner (New York Yankees), to name a few, have for their ballclubs, (Hand-on approach type of guys).

Besides politics, Rush has always expressed great interest in sports. (I believe he used to work in the Kansas City Royals organization). Rush would be an owner who could sell the Saint Louis Rams to a Global audiance, an innovator with the drive to be successful (much in the way he has done in the media).

I agree with HUb, having an owner who's committed to putting a winning product on the field could only be a positive for the Rams organization, whatever his or her political views.

Okay, I think both the pro-Rush and anti-Rush sides have had their say, so let's boil down to what we know for a fact. And that is....

...Greg Edwards of the St. Louis Business Journal believes Rush Limbaugh to be a potential buyer of the St. Louis Rams.


Everything else is just a bag of ingredients for a political stew that won't taste yummy for anyone.

The political leanings of the owner, execs., coaches, or players should have little to no bearing on the reactions of fans. For example, I know for a fact that Nick spends his weekends holding hands with hippies while they group-hug trees with Lennon blaring over their sound systems. While I, on the other hand, go hunting for the endangered Pine Cone, Speckled Tail Caribou with my fully automatic assault rifle; and lounge in a tub of crude oil fanning myself with Haliburton stock certificates.

But in the end, we both want the Rams to win regardless of political leanings.

Therefore, this thread is now closed.
