I'm not commenting on the business aspect of it. I understand that fully. I'm not a raging hypocrite like Sharpton and Jackson who think the black man has a "right" to be in the nfl but the white guy doesn't have a "right" to be in it.
I'm more commenting on the social backlash, especially in the media.
You had idiot bleeding hearts in the sports media like Kevin Blackenstone going on and on how Mike Vick needs a second chance, Mike Vick needs to be back in the league, even if there are people protesting and Vick broke league rules, he shouldn't be barred from being back in the league....who then turn around and start writing stories filled with misleading, and some absolutely false, information about Rush Limbaugh and how he shouldn't own a team.
You have outrage on the part of players and owners and the commissioner and some fans about Rush Limbaugh being potentially allowed into the league because of controversial SPEECH...
Yet you had outpouring of support from many of those same people for a man that was a face of the franchise, a role model (like it or not, sports people are for many), who was systematically and continually using his wealth generated from football to participate in illegal activities and continually broke league policy.
Its not the business aspect that bothers me. I understand and accept that and support that completely, unlike the hypocrites on the other side that were against the business/priveldge aspects of it with Vick but for it with Limbaugh, its the social part that bugs me.
