ST. LOUIS (AP) - October 13, 2009
The civil rights activists feel Limbaugh's track record
and comments on race should keep him out of the mix when it comes
to owning an NFL team. Sharpton has written NFL Commissioner Roger
Goodell (guh-DEHL'), saying Limbaugh has been divisive and
"anti-NFL" in his comments.
Jackson says Limbaugh has made his money by "appealing to the fears
of whites" and has issued a constant stream of insults against blacks and other minorities.
Limbaugh said last week that he's teaming up with St. Louis Blues
hockey team owner Dave Checketts in a bid to buy the Rams. In 2007,
Limbaugh said on the air that - quoting here - "The NFL all too
often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without
any weapons."
