Rush Limbaugh's pursuit of the St. Louis Rams' ownership is not being met warmly.

Two former NFL players, Keenan McCardell and Roman Oben, said Wednesday that if Limbaugh's group acquires the Rams, the team would have trouble attracting black players in free agency.

"Rush Limbaugh would definitely hurt the St. Louis Rams if he bought the team," McCardell wrote in the Washington Post.

"If I were a free agent it would be really hard for me to want to play for him."

I Think this is Rush's ultimate Dream... the opportunity for him to "own" a group of black guys. I really think that this would be disastorous for the Rams (and frankly, how much worse can it get for them)... I hope the pig takes his billions and goes elsewhere.

1. My 1st thought...no way black players would like Limbaugh as owner.

He of the infamous " Barack the Magic Negro" and other disparaging remarks he makes about minor ties. I would be really surprised if the NFL approves Limbaugh based on his obvious contempt of African-Americans.

3. Yup.. that was mentioned in the article..

his famous "Watching an NFL game is like watching the bloods vs. the crips" comment comes to mind.

For St. Louis's sake, I hope he isn't allowed to buy them... no black (and most white) players would go there in free agency... and I could only imagine if you were drafted and didn't want to play for him.

Imagine dropping a few balls, and having to listen to Limbaugh go on about you on the radio the next day.

Ugh. That team needs a break, and Limpballs is not it.
