Spanish speaking refs and McDonald’s commercials speaking straight to the minority community. They don’t want whitey anymore! 26 posted on Wednesday, October 14, 2009 1:16:38 PM by King Hawk Rush will make more $ off the lawsuits than he would have as an owner, in all likelihood. Still, sucks. Maybe he ought to buy NBC instead. Then shut it down. 31 posted on Wednesday, October 14, 2009 1:17:23 PM by bigbob Boycott the NFL and encourage friends and family to vote down every municipal vote on NFL stadiums. 38 posted on Wednesday, October 14, 2009 1:19:07 PM by a fool in paradise NFL is kissing Hussein’s arse.

The NFL essentially said "Hell No" and the group may or may not have kicked him out. (They say he's out, he says he isn't.) I'm not sure where Coke and Pepsi fit into this, but I'm sure the RC folks will be delighted. <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4559454" target="_blank">http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/...=4559454</a>

Team that perform poorly get first choice in recruiting college stars. The game might be "right wing", but the league is definitely pinko!

It is a private enterprise. But, they don't seem to be frowning on Fergie buying a small piece of the Dolphins (drug addiction) or Al Davis owning the Raiders (***hole). So, it will be interesting to me to see if this is something they will equally apply to all future potential owners.
Originally Posted By barboy /// but Republicans and the NFL...how can they boycott something they love so much?/// The NFL is an extremely PC/liberal/image conscious organization---- the most 'left' of any major US sport, more than NBA, MLB, ATP, boxing or car racing. .....but your correct as to the NFL's following; it sure does attract many conservatives.

Originally Posted By tiggertoo And to think that 77% of the campaign contributions that came out of the NFL went to Republican candidates. <a href="http://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/article/60409" target="_blank">http://www.sportsbusinessjourn...le/60409</a> The lesson: you can be the most loyal, hardcore conservative on the planet, but cross the base once and you're called socialist, terrorist lovers. These nutcases never cease to amuse me.
