Someone in EA knew about this before it happened. Madden just added the feature where players hate certain franchises and won't join them, and now this drug-addled racist is buying a terrible football team. Conspiracy? I think not!
Other point? Professional athletes aren't wage slaves. It's not all about the bottom line, especially when a famous race-baiting douche like Limbaugh is involved. Some guys will refuse to play for Limbaugh, some won't, but automatically stating that these guys would jump for the flash of a dollar regardless of their personal morals is, well, something a racist dipship like Rush fuckin' Limbaugh would say.
So even if he managed to get approval to buy into the St. Louis franchise, many NFL players—who if you haven't noticed, are mostly black—might have a problem with that.
I call B.S.
There have got to be THOUSANDS of men in the U.S. and elsewhere, REGARDLESS of their race, who would jump at the chance to make an NFL salary no matter who was the owner.
@gibsonk1200000: This doesn't make even the slightest bit of sense. Because somebody accepts a salary from one employer, it means that he'd accept a higher salary from ANY employer? Please, let's think things through the next time we comment.
It would probably take a precipitating incident, like Rush claiming a players' salary is tantamount to "reparations," or telling someone to "take the bone out of their nose" ... again.
The ghost of Marge Schott advised Rush that he'd be better off with trained monkeys. She also thinks that Kyle Boller is a closet Jew and should be traded as Rush's first matter of business.
