Head Strong: Passing on Limbaugh a business decision | Philadelphia Inquirer | 10/18/2009

2009The owners' objection to Limbaugh wasn't based on his politics - they
overwhelmingly share his views. They refused to allow him to join their club in
the name of good business.

Consider that over the last 20 years, 78 percent of the approximately $7
million that NFL owners, coaches, players, and their associates have donated
to political candidates and committees has gone to Republicans. That's
according to figures recently compiled and studied by the Center for
Responsive Politics (CRP) in Washington.

Instead, the owners determined that it was just bad business to add to their
ranks someone who would have kept them in headlines going forward while
most choose to fly beneath the radar.

"This is about the future of the United States of America and what kind of
country we're going to have," Limbaugh said last week, casting the debate as
some kind of a referendum on capitalism. But he was wrong.

To the contrary, Limbaugh was compromised by the very principles he
espouses - the Free Market. A group of like-minded private businessmen,
unfettered by government, made a decision as to what was best for their
enterprise.
