Does the NFL View Conservative White Americans as Racists?

Does the NFL View Conservative White Americans as Racists?

This article was written by Danielle







Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, Founder and President of BOND, the Brotherhood Organization Of A New Destiny, issued the following statement about the scandalous and shameful way NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and Players Association Executive Director DeMaurice Smith treated Rush Limbaugh, effectively blocking his bid as part of a group to purchase the St. Louis Rams:

“As an American civil-rights leader I am deeply disturbed by the unfair treatment Rush Limbaugh received at the hands of the NFL and the smear campaign orchestrated by many in the media to brand him a ‘racist.’

“Rush Limbaugh was denied the opportunity to own a part of an NFL franchise because he’s a conservative straight white male and a staunch critic of Barack Obama’s agenda.

“If Mr. Goodell and the owners view Rush as too divisive, then what must they think about the millions of NFL fans who listen to Rush and hold NFL season tickets? If Rush is considered a ‘racist’ and can’t be an owner, does that mean his listeners are also racists who don’t deserve to sit in NFL stadiums? If the league and the players association are going to discriminate against Rush, why should conservatives put money into the NFL’s coffers and pay the exorbitant salaries of the players?

“The NFL commissioner and owners were pressured by the players association and black race hustlers Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson to derail Rush’s chance of owning a part of the St. Louis Rams.

“When will white Americans stop caving in to shakedown artists like Jackson and Sharpton, whose claim to any moral authority whatsoever is a joke?

“This should be the wakeup call for white Americans to stop supporting organizations who don’t have the spine to say ‘no’ to hate mongers or stand up on behalf of the rights of every American to pursue liberty and happiness.”

    The NFL decides who becomes an owner not the other way around.

    All this blowhard (Rush Hudson Limbaugh A.KA. Jeff Christie) has to offer is his money and his opinions, (which in my opinion are on the fringes of racism, one mans opinion). There are many more groups biding for the Rams, not just his group. Lets face it there are more men with money (Marshall Faulk) that will gladly fill the slot and the Rams will win or lose depending on how well they work as a team and not on whether or not Rush is an owner.

    As for Vick, well he is a player (he has talent not like you, Rush or I, unless you are a NFL player?) and he served his time and the NFL decided we live in the land of second chances, so why not (I personally don’t like it but, oh well). Life has never been fair (NEWS FLASH!)

    Now as to the “Free Speech” argument, I guess many of you like myself heard Rush on Thursday “Almost in tears”, priceless. But the last couple of days he now is in his normal ranting and will continue until someone surpasses him, “Free Speech” continues, so what is being stifled, it simply is not true, of course, you may not have a radio, so you might want to get one.
