According to a story in USA Today, African-American players are predicting how difficult it would be for the Rams to attract African American free agents to play for the St. Louis Dittoheads, er.. Rams, should right wing comedian Rush Limbaugh be part of a group seeking to buy the franchise.Â
Considering Rush has said these things:
“I mean, let’s face it, we didn’t have slavery in this country for over 100 years because it was a bad thing. Quite the opposite: Slavery built the South. I’m not saying we should bring it back. I’m just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark.”
and there’s more..
Is Limibaugh racist? Read these and let me know what you think. And after you read them, take note how seriously certain conservative political candidates from Orange County and other parts of California use Rush’s comments as a blessing of conserverati.
Rush is a racist, are you kidding? Of course he is and drug addict to.
Let him buy if he wants, if the other people involved in the deal are dumb enough or desperate enough to need his money.
I hope the whole team refuses to play and the other teams in the league should boycott. Perhaps that will wake a few of these people up that yes we are all equal.
