I heard Steven A. Smith on Larry Elder’s radio show a few years back and he was commenting how he really enjoyed Larry’s book (conservative book). So based on what I heard Steven A. support is legit.

Joshua,The NFL has even more money at stake than Limbaugh.Everything Limbaugh does that makes the news would come across as controversial.Stephan A. Smith did not defend Limbaugh when he made the “Bloods and Crips”reference he said it was a racist statement. Also he said in the interview that the NFL would shun anyone that makes controversial statements.By the way Roger Goodell has done a good job of policing players even when they do the stupid stuff they do like the Michael Vic incident.

No one is really a fan of Rush especially in one of the most integrated American pastimes.

Now bobby nobody calls Rush listeners racists. Wake up, Rush and conservatives believe people are judged by character not race or gender. It’s you liberals that want to pidgeon hole everyone and divide people. We see people as people. Try being colorblind.

“One begins to think that Limbaugh made the ownership bid for no other reason than to stir controversy.” Probably not the main reason. Just a nice by-product for Rush and every media outlet that is beating this story to death. (And yes, I realize that by commenting on this thread I’ve just made myself part of the problem).

I dislike Rush. Many people like him. But it’s undeniable that he is a successful businessman. Now the league and Rams must decide if the controversy associated with him is worth whatever business savvy he would bring to the organization (and of course, compare his bids to other bids).

My guess is there is no way he gets any piece of the Rams but we’ll soon see.

Why Stephan A. Smith a “surprising” ally of Limbaugh? It’s only “surprising” if you hold the bigoted view that all black people dislike Limbaugh.

You know, if Jason Whitlock really wanted to make a bigger splash nowadays, he’d try to contact all of his Kansas City contacts to find out the stuff Rush said on the radio during his time in KC. Then, he’d write a big column that would basically confirm the James Earl Ray and “slavery had its good points” quotes that Rush is claiming don’t exist.

Then again, if folks on the opposite side of Rush want to make an example of rich conservatives like him, they need to realize they are about to open a door they don’t necessarily want opened. So let’s just chalk this up to Rush being a mischief maker, again.

Steven A would not be defending Rush if he wasnt trying to jumpstart his career.

I dont believe rush is a racist but I do believe he knows a large percent of his audience is..or at least fear anyone different, thats why he plays up to them, thats why on is show he referred to obama as a halfrican american for three months before he became president…to invoke fear of something different,..because if obama was just white he would refer to him as a democrat.
he plays up to the scared conservative right that are scared of anything different than them.

how this relates,..now he wants to us to forget about all of that and have us write it off as entertainment.
Just like Marc Cuban, his prior actions caused him a chance to own a baseball team, and so should the actions and statements of Rush
