It's not only that he was fired from ESPN for making racist comments but he obviously knows nothing about football from his McNabb comments. Why would any player want to join an already horrible team and then deal with a know nothing about football owner. He can't pay ever player the maximum salary.
No he was fired for being politically incorrect. He said nothing racist, and his knowledge of football stands on its own.

He made a race based allegation (with absolutely nothing to support his race based claim) and was canned for it. He was the one who bought up race in the discussion about McNabb.

His coments about McNabb were some of the dumbest comments I have ever heard on ESPN!! You can try to defend him all you want but I can promise you he will never be approved to be a part owner in any NFL team. The media would rip him apart with sound bytes all the time, and the distractions from those sound bytes would kill any teams chances of being a dynasty!!!
I think the movie "Jerry McGuire" was a fair representation of the world of Pro Football. If Rush can "show them the money" they probably couldn't care less about the man or his politics.
why would a racist want to buy a team where there are alot of people of the race that he hates playing in? UNLESS HE IS NOT A RACIST. why would players boycot an owner that is of a diferent race then they are? UNLESS THEY ARE RACIST. I am sick and tired of people playing the race card. stop whinning all ready the only racist are the ones that keep bringing it up every chance they get they are the true racist
Name a team with a white owner (most teams, I suppose) that is being threatened with a boycott by black players.
Yep, none.
But reverse-racism is the only thing you could come up with, eh? Can't think of any other reason why black players would despise Rush?
LOL yeah I am sure if a player is offered millions and no other team wants them they will be there with a smile on their face. It is all about the money.

bringing up race does not make you a racist and warrant being fired. Mcnabb should have manned up and said so.
It would be strange if a Limbaugh-owned team was hit by a boycott of black players, he was forced to field an all-white team, and they actually had a winning season! (Of course, sponsors would get up on their conveniently righteous soapbox, declare it to be a "discriminatory operation" and refuse to shovel in their advertising dollars. The franchise would wind up having to be sold again...if not taken over by the league).
An all-white team would be dismal!!!!!!!!!!!!! There wouldnt be nearly enough speed, they would be lousy at the running back, reciever, defensive line, and secondary positions!!!!!!!!!!!!
