In the wake of the sell of the St. Louis Rams, there has been much controversy of the sell to one group in particular. The Checketts group, owners of the St. Louis Blues, is one of the groups bidding for the national football league franchise.
Here is where the controversy comes in.
One of the members of the group was Rush Limbaugh. Yes was. He was ousted out this past Wednesday by the group stating that his presence within the group was hurting there chances of winning the bid for the franchise.
Their main objective is to keep the franchise in the city of St. Louis and it seems that they are willing to do any and everything to do so.
These questions have to come up. Why was Limbaugh even apart of the group in the first place? If they knew who he was and about the comments that he has made in the past, why is he apart of the group? Who is to say that they do not think the same way as Limbaugh? Who is to say that if they do win the bid for the franchise that the Checketts group will not pick him back up?
Roger Goodell has already come out and stated that the comments made by Limbaugh in the past about the NFL are "polarizing" and have no place in the realm of the NFL.
Limbaugh has spoken out against Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and DeMaurice Smith saying that they and the media are the reasons behind him being dropped from the group.
If the group does share some of Limbaugh's views on the league and they do win the bid, how will it reflect upon the league?
