Uh, the NFL does not employ Olbermann, NBC does.

I’m still waiting for the NFL to drop Olbermann, for what filth he has spewed time and time again on his program watched by tens of people, it’d be good to give it to some up and coming commentators.

Unfortunately, this process was dragged into the mud by race hustler charlatans such as Sharpton and Jackson. Had they not gotten involved by producing false claims, I think the process would have gotten alot farther along. After all I do remember a MLB owner having some of her own problems for her views and quotes.

Cyd, I’m not a Keith Olbermann fan. But let’s be fair here. If he ever said the same racist things Limbaugh has said, he’d be dumped immediately by NBC.

Rush has his right to speak his mind, but as with all things (including expressing opinions) there is a price. Freedom of speech is a two edged sword. Just ask the Dixie Chicks.

Cyd, the word is “Democratic.” Democrat is a noun, Democratic is an adjective.

Because the news media leans heavily Democrat, they were relentless about the Limbaugh purchase; Keith Olbermann is just as offensive and mean, but he is one of NBC’s NFL commentators and no one says boo. Rush is a long-time Rams fan and was born in Missouri. He would have been a good owner for that team.

Lot of those “donations” come indirectly from the huge tax breaks sports institutions get from taxpayers at every level of income and at every level of sports: from peewee sports to elite pros.

They may have “earned” that money but how they spend it affects all of us.

Seems Limbaugh got dropped. Sure other teams lean Republican, but they don’t spew divisive rhetoric on a daily talk show that may polarize potential players who are their employees. I wouldn’t work for this guy!

As an AZ Cardinal fan, I wanna know what the Bidwell family is doing giving this kind of money to political parties period!!! There too cheap to pay there own players, yet they contribute more money to politics than all but two teams in the NFL!!! Get Darnell Dockett a contract extension then you can give your money elsewhere Mr. Bidwell
