On Rush and the Rams

Harinder wrote to me asking what I thought of the controversy surrounding the NFL freezing out Rush Limbaugh from buying a minority stake in the Rams, and I have to say, I think there's not much to it. Not only is Rush Limbaugh a polarizing and supremely distracting national figure, but he also has a history of making racist comments about football players. Making him part-owner would have been a terrible business decision for the Rams and for the NFL. The only thing that surprises me is that he was seriously considered in the first place.
