NFL

I really enjoy football, yet I have decided to quit investing time or money in anything related to the NFL. No, it's not due to the Titans poor showing this season. Rather the blatant hypocrisy exhibited by the league in response to the potential minority investment in a franchise by Rush Limbaugh is more than I can bear.

While I don't always agree with Rush, as an American citizen he should have the same opportunity as anyone else to participate in owning a league franchise (well, the same opportunity as anyone else with $$$ to invest). Yet those who disagree with him politically have successfully used lies and race baiting in an effort to pressure the NFL to force him out of the group bidding to acquire a franchise. The league, unfortunately, chose to cave in to such nonsense.

I find it interesting that while the commissioner and a few owners claimed Rush was too racially divisive to be part of the NFL, they seemingly have no problem with the "league worthiness" of certain other minority franchise owners that produce blatantly racial, immoral and even anti-American material (http://1rzx.sl.pt). Note the story referenced contains suggestive and crude language and actions. The double standard is only too obvious.

So...while I personally enjoy NFL football, I will no longer attend, watch, read about, and hopefully in time, think about professional football. Thank goodness I live in the South where college football is really better and more exciting anyway.
