Actually it's because NFL owners (who are pretty fascist in their own right) are still trying to market a mass-racially appealing product and would look really bad letting a de-facto Klan spokesman own a team.

The clown uses a term like "obama's america" and he can't figure out why no one wants to play with him. Fuck, I wish he'd get hit by a bus.

i agree he should be able to purchase the team just as anybody else could, wtf ppl need to quit freaking whining, im not racist by any means but if the guy wants to create an all white team then let him go for it, its his god given right as an american... also he should direct his frustration to the cry babys that have the problem not the presedent

More offensive than the McNabb comment was when Limbaugh reportedly said in 2007, "The NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it."
Yeah this guy deserves a team...

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.

the thing is, when rush or beck screw obama its funny, the same way i would expect ppl who dont like bush to have thought it was funny when a media person hellen thomas for example made him look like an idiot.
but when obama uses his power and the weight of the federal government to fuck with a private citizen who did nothing other than express how he felt about obama, i really dont think its any of obamas business to wait and down the line try to screw rush in some way.
if the fat obnoxious opiate addict wants an nfl team and can afford it why the hell shouldnt he be able to buy it?

Obama has nothing to do with this. It's the good old boys club not wanting fat rush and his overt racism to join. Now covert racism they could handle but even old rich rednecks draw the line somewhere.
