Why Rush wants to own an NFL team from Scholars and Rogues "Because it’s the closest he can get, in this day and age, to actually being able to buy, sell and trade Negros."

Rush Limbaugh wants to be an NFL owner. Or does he? Jason Whitlock says it's a publicity stunt, and he may be right. Glenn Beck has been getting a lot of run lately and Rash needs to maintain his position as the Barking Right's alpha blowhard. Whitlock also wonders why the NFL's uber-dominator, Commish Roger Goodell, didn't immediately neuter this, the Mother of All Bad Ownership Ideas. After all, a high percentage of the league's players, coaches and fans are black, and Rush has a history of saying bad things about black people. Some samples:

I mean, let's face it, we didn't have slavery in this country for over 100 years because it was a bad thing. Quite the opposite: slavery built the South. I'm not saying we should bring it back; I'm just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark.

You know who deserves a posthumous Medal of Honor? James Earl Ray [the confessed assassin of Martin Luther King]. We miss you, James. Godspeed.

Look, let me put it to you this way: the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it.
…
The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies.
…
Take that bone out of your nose and call me back(to an African American female caller).

Despite the fact Obama graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law school, Limbaugh has called him an 'affirmative action candidate.' Limbaugh even has repeatedly played a song on his radio show 'Barack the Magic Negro' using an antiquated Jim Crow era term for black a man who many Americans are supporting for president.

There was also the time ESPN was dumbass enough to let Limbaugh on their pre-game show. That didn't work out so well, did it?

Let's set aside for a second the obvious troubling question about how a team with Rush at the helm would get new players, since presumably it would dodge the draft. And the also-obvious question of whether, given its stance against illegal drug use, the league would be forced to ban Limbaugh from his own facility. Instead, let's ask a more basic question: why would a guy like Limbaugh want to own an NFL team, knowing all the hassle involved in the process?

I think I have it figured out. Because it's the closest he can get, in this day and age, to actually being able to buy, sell and trade Negros.

There. I said it.
