Pressure on NFL to Stop Limbaugh Bid
October 12th, 2009
Al Sharpton wrote a letter to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell in an effort to block talk show host Rush Limbaugh’s bid to buy the St. Louis Rams, according to the St.Louis Disptach.
Sharpton said Limbaugh has been divisive and “anti-NFL” in some of his comments, referring to incident in 2003 when Limbaugh, who at the time was a commentator on ESPN called Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb “overrated” because the media wanted a black quarterback to succeed.
ESPN.com reports that the leader of the NFL Player’s Union is also against Limbaugh owning a team.
In an email to the NFL Union Executive Committee, DeMaurice Smith said “But sport in America is at its best when it unifies, gives all of us reason to cheer, and when it transcends. Our sport does exactly that when it overcomes division and rejects discrimination and hatred.”
A video of Scoop Jackson, a writer/columnist for ESPN discussing the matter is below.
