The Wall Street Journal reported that talk show host Rush Limbaugh has been dropped from the group seeking to buy the St. Louis Rams.
The WSJ.com reported:
With criticism mounting, Dave Checketts, the sports businessman leading a group vying for the National Football League franchise, dumped the controversial conservative talk show host just days after Mr. Limbaugh disclosed his intent to buy a minority interest in the team.
"Rush was to be a limited partner—as such, he would have had no say in the direction of the club or in any decisions regarding personnel or operations," Mr. Checketts, owner of the NHL's St. Louis Blues, said in a statement released Wednesday. "This was a role he enthusiastically embraced. However, it has become clear that his involvement in our group has become a complication and a distraction to our intentions; endangering our bid to keep the team in St. Louis. As such, we have decided to move forward without him and hope it will eventually lead us to a successful conclusion."
It looks like the sleazy and slanderous campaign led by poverty pimps Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and other Leftists was successful. They used fabricated "quotes" to torpedo Limbaugh's effort to be a part owner of the St. Louis Rams.
It appears that Checketts turned chickenshit and dropped Limbaugh. St. Louis fans should voice their disapproval over this action and if Checkett's group does acquire the Rams, they should boycott the team.
And Rush Limbaugh ought to sue the pants off of those who spread the fabricated "quotes."
