Should the Rams start fresh with Rush?

I expect by now that many of you know that radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh and St. Louis Blues owner Dave Checketts have placed a bid to buy the St. Louis Rams. This has become a largely controversial within the NFL and is now spreading throughout the nation.

Things must be serious when Reverends Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson team up and oppose Limbaugh's potential ownership of the NFL franchise. Jackson recently sent a letter to the NFL voicing his displeasure. Jackson claimed that owning an NFL franchise was a privilege and that the conservative talk show host may have lost this privilege with some of his comments over the radio waves.

In 2003, Limbaugh had a short stint as a pregame analyst on an ESPN pregame show but resigned after saying that "Donovan McNabb was overrated and that the media just wanted to see a black quarterback succeed." It's evident that Limbaugh has a big mouth but that doesn't mean he is a racist or has an issue with African Americans.

I personally have no problem with Limbaugh owning the Rams. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are just trying to blow something small out of proportion to stir things up. If Limbaugh and crew are able to turn the Rams around I doubt there will be anything else said on the topic.
