Roger Goodell: The Difference Between Opinions, Racists and Criminals

Roger Goodell is acting like a pitcher about to throw us all a slow curve ball.

He's telling America that the growing amount of criminals in the NFL are better people than Rush Limbaugh.  He's saying that the the murderers, rapists, sadists, child abusers, wife-beaters, thieves,  players hiring people to kill their pregnant wives, players committing vehicular manslaughter, felony assaults, etc. are better people than Rush Limbaugh.

That's an easy pitch to hit out of the park and an easy lie to see. 

Roger Goodell is the Commissioner of the National Football League.  He recently led the charge to prevent a citizen of the United States from the basic right of ownership due to his own ignorance, cowardice, lack of stewardship, or personal prejudice. Take your pick, it's any or all of those reasons.

Radio host Rush Limbaugh was part of a group who had made a bid to purchase the Saint Louis Rams.  Roger Goodell waited a few days, stuck his finger into the air and then decided it was safer to go along with people who didn't want Mr. Limbaugh in the NFL than the vast majority of people who didn't say a word.

In other words, Mr. Goodell knelt before the few that claimed Mr. Limbaugh was a racist.  This group of vocal of people said that they didn't want Limbaugh to buy a NFL team because he had made racist comments on his radio show. 

To quote an advertisement of a hamburger company, "where's the beef?"  None and I mean none of these people can come up with a single quote of Limbaugh that would place him in the category of "racist."  All of his shows are taped, but no one could find a single racist comment.

Mr. Goodell, with all of your assistants and means at your disposal, can't you find just one?  If you did, you wouldn't look as if you are guilty of discrimination.  However, you can't and you are.

Rush Limbaugh has made it very clear that he doesn't think President Obama isn't doing his job well.  That places Limbaugh in the majority.  If making fun or criticizing  Obama is racist, you might as well take NBC's Saturday Night Live off the air, as well as Big Bird and a lot of shows.

A spokesman for the NAACP went on Fox News and told Bill O'Reilly of all the racial things Limbaugh had said.  "Not so," said O'Reilly.  O'Reilly had his research team check into all of the claims made by the various people and could not find a single one to be true.  Then he offered anyone with proof otherwise to either call or come on his show.  He's had no replies.

The fact is, Mr. Limbaugh has never made a racial comment on his show, until someone can prove it and no one has..

The most earth shattering statement Rush Limbaugh has been proven to have said about race is something he said about Donavon McNabb.  Limbaugh said that McNabb gets too much credit for the success of the Eagles.  He said he believed that the Eagle's success was due to the team and not to one person.  He went on to say that that the NFL had an investment, wanted to help, etc, a Black succeed at QB.

I heard him say it.  He must of said "his opinion, his belief," etc. at least five times.  I  watched Doug Williams play.  Many, in and out of the NFL, players and the media alike, said much of the same things of Williams.  

Limbaugh was a person giving called giving an opinion - not a person being a racist.

Those few vocal people in our country and the even fewer who listen to them, may not know this about Rush Limbaugh, but he is a more charitable person, to all of the races in America, than anyone in the United States Congress and White House.  

Rush Limbaugh's radio show supports three active charities.  They are:

THE MARINE CORPS - LAW ENFORCEMENT FOUNDATION.  This provides scholarships for children of Marines, Police Officers and Agents who have died in the line-of-duty. 

THE LEUKEMIA AND LYMPHOMA SOCIETY, known as the "Cure - A -Thon"  by his radio show.  Rush personally gives $400,000.00 to the organization at the end of that day's show.

ADOPT-A-SOLDIER.  This is a Website that gives a free subscription to his Premium Service plan when people donate to the fund.  He regularly donates.

Within this past 12 months, the Leader of the Senate, Harry Reid, prepared a letter of protest to the parent broadcasting station (The E.I.B. Network).  Prior to mailing the letter, Reid had 40 other Democratic Congressmen and Senators sign it. 

Senator Reid mailed it to the CEO of E.I.B.  The CEO was said to have looked at it and then handed it to Mr. Limbaugh.  Everyone got a laugh out of it, but Mr. Limbaugh  wanted more.
