No, I WON'T work for a drug-addicted pig: Head Of NFL Union Opposing Limbaugh's Attempt To Buy Rams
Head Of NFL Players Union Writes Email Opposing Rush Limbaugh's Attempt To Buy Rams

According to ESPN, the executive director of the NFL players union has written an email to the union's executive committee, detailing his opposition to any purchase of the St. Louis Rams football team by Rush Limbaugh.

Executive Director DeMaurice Smith wrote, "I've spoken to the Commissioner and I understand that this ownership consideration is in the early stages. But sport in America is at its best when it unifies, gives all of us reason to cheer, and when it transcends. Our sport does exactly that when it overcomes division and rejects discrimination and hatred."

Limbaugh -- a native of Cape Girardeau, Missouri -- first mentioned his interest in owning the NFL team in spring 2009, and has teamed with St. Louis Blues owner Dave Checketts to submit a bid. ESPN reports that the pair are among six potential bidders.

The St. Louis Business Journal reports that "given the poor state of the economy and the Rams' miserable on-field performance," sources estimate the franchise's entire value at $700 million to $750 million. The team is family owned. Its majority owners are siblings Chip Rosenbloom and Lucia Rodriguez.

2. What possible pleasure could this person get from owning a football team?
This man's pleasure is in hating and tearing people down. His entire life revolves around hatred for others and the pleasure of telling them their faults as he sees them. If this was a stable of gladiators in ancient Rome, killing each other, I could maybe understand his sick pleasure as a sick person.

5. $$$$$$$$$$
The money from owning this team could finance a lot of sex trips to Costa Rica.

I do not believe for single minute that Limbaugh has even a passing interest in sports...unless it's Costa Rican Water Sports.
