Rush Limbaugh & Sharpton Beef Over NFL


Many NFL players and fans are up in arms over Rush Limbaugh's plans to buy an NFL team, but what is the truth behind this scandal? Rush and Al Sharpton have very different answers to that question..

Rush Limbaugh insists he is colorblind and not racist at all, and should have a fair shot at owning the St. Louis Rams. But Rev. Sharpton points out that it doesn't matter whether Rush is racist, it's the things that he says that have been offensive, regardless of what's actually in Rush's heart.

Limbaugh, the top conservative radio host, has a long history of racially charged comments, as listed here. And in ny opinion it is fair for the NFL to hold him accountable for those statements just like they have strict rules for how the players behave, as representatives of the league. If they think doing a dance in the end zone or taunting other players is embarrassing for the NFL, it would be pretty hypciritical for the league to deny that Rush's racial taunting is not also a bad look. Whatever you think about Sharpton, he's right about Rush Limbaugh this time.
