I guess this depends on how many of them are playing for the pure enjoyment of it and how many are playing for money. I don't think too many are playing for fun and enjoyment but then I could be wrong.

And I'm sure Rush would buy the team just for the enjoyment of it and not for the money right?

Come on. . . If he buys them and they go belly up he wouldn't be able to afford his narcotics.

I'm sure he'll get some black players. I'd crack up if he didn't though.

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).

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

Refusing to be associated with a racist is racist?

Still on the narcotics thing huh? At least he got hooked on prescription drug and did not do the coke in a bottle stuff ObamAcorn used.

Let me tell you that if the team did go belly up the famous Rush will still be able to afford whatever he wants and when he wants.

I know you do not like it but the man is filthy rich and buying a football team wont effect his money much if at all.

Stop being so jealous of Rush.

If black players wont play for him then it will just show how stupid they are. Rush is not a racist person at all and in most cases the smart ones will play for him because they are not filled up hate and racist themselves.

I wouldn't play for him, or Keith Olbermann for that matter, and I'm white.

The injury rate in the NFL is 100%. No one is going to sacrifice themselves like that without comensurate reward.
