Sadly, Rush Limbaugh has been dropped as a minority partner in an effort to buy the St. Louis Rams due to the bloodrage by Al Sharpton and the NFLPA. Everything that happened was within the rights of the actors that did them. Limbaugh was, as he did, able to be a part of a group to attempt to buy the St. Louis Rams. Sharpton and his Allies were able to protest the idea of him buying a team, and they succeeded when the pressure they applied made the decision easy for the owners to reject Limbaugh as a fellow owner.
That said, it really is a sad thing. The main difference between Limbaugh and your average NFL owner is not their politics but rather their public awareness. The idea that we aren’t going to allow someone a football team because they say controversial things is a sad thing. When Sharpton made his racist claims about Limbaugh, he should have been laughed out of the room. Instead, he was able to get the ball rolling and deny Limbaugh. All this indicant proved is that racism is not dead in America, because a racist like Al Sharpton is able to stop a business transaction that he ought to have no sway in.
