A very well written piece. Most of the time I read political blogs for important issues, and leave the sports stuff to sports bloggers. I just hate to see that this had become a political issue.

I’m getting tired of everything becoming a political issue or having to respond in a politically correct manner. My eyes have been opened and its apparent that political correctness is nothing more than a vehicle to move this country more to the left.

Commissioner Roger Goodell and the NFL owners should be ashamed for the way that they have let Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Michael Wilbon et al. dictate who is and isn’t a part of the NFL ownership based solely on their political views.

The NFL has long been considered an elite club, only a select few are admitted. But’s let’s be real. If you’ve got the money, they would let Osama Bin Laden buy a team.

We live in a polically and racially polarized era and the NFL proved it doesn’t have the backbone to withstand criticism of a bunch of left wing zealots.

The NBA has a wacky owner, Mark Cuban, they let him say or do whatever he pleases (it’s still a free country, right?) and then fine the hell out of him. He’s paid all kinds of fines, that the NBA then gives out to charities as its way of letting things take care of themselves. Sooner or later, the guy will get tired of paying the fines and adhere to strict policies of conforming.

The NFL didn’t take this route, they didn’t even have the nerve to try. Rush will be better off financially and will not have to listen to idiots like Colts owner Jim Irsay. The fans lose, because they see that the NFL has become the whipping boys of political agitators, while the players do whatever they want, with whomever they want, whenever they want.

And we thought they would be tough on Michael Vick?
