Rush forces KC car dealer who gave away AK-47s to boycott NFL
The loonies claiming they're giving up the National Football League due to its treatment of oppressed rich white guy Rush Limbaugh can count a Kansas City car dealer among their ranks.

Our sister paper The Riverfront Times points out that Mark Muller, owner of Max Motors and wannabe arms dealer (he saved Missourians from having to make the hard choice between a pickup truck and an assault rifle this summer by giving away free AK-47s with purchase of a truck), is now claiming that he's canceling his Kansas City Chiefs season tickets because the NFL supposedly blocked Limbaugh's attempt to buy the St. Louis Rams.

Muller told the Cybercast News Service that Limbaugh was the reason he first went to an NFL game. Muller claimed that he heard Limbaugh endorse the NFL on his radio program in the '80s. Muller supposedly talked to his wife, and they "gave up everything in our life at the time we could buy two season tickets, no more dinners out, nothing." But no more.

"Had they handled it behind closed doors and Rush had bowed out I'd have known that he'd taken a screwing but I wouldn't have cared because I love the NFL," said Muller. "But to have the commissioner of the NFL get on TV and say we find him inappropriate, well, by God, then I'm an inappropriate fan."

Muller claimed the decision was an emotional one for his family. He told Cybercast news:

"I'll never go to another NFL game. My wife and I, we had a family meeting over it. All day we talked about football and Rush Limbaugh, and by that night at dinner my wife broke down in absolute tears, and we decided to cancel our tickets, to never go to another game."

29. I'm sure that'll be good news for the people in the neighboring seats
Although when the NFL hears of this courageous and crushing boycott, I'm sure it'll change its tune...

2. The guy can remember what Windbag said back in the 80's. He's full of it.
I'm sure the KC team will lose sleep over the loss of this fan.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

13. I think the Chiefs have sold out every home game since 1990.
This isn't going to hurt them a bit.

23. Hey!
Watch that dumb-ass Broncos fan shit.

And to add my two cents, this guy is a idiot.
If he needed RUSH to tell him about the NFL, he's a fool and a liar.
The NFL has been the biggest draw in the US for a decade or more.
A mediocre NFL match-up on a Sunday night, will blow away a baseball playoff game with the Yankees or the Red Sox in it.
And, lets get something straight, the Kansas City Chiefs do NOT suck.
They have ruined many a weekend for me and cost me a small fortune in side bets.

This guy is a tool.

Besides, methinks this guy is just a fair-weather fan looking for an opportunity to ramble about Rush. The Chiefs are absolutely awful right now.

24. Sure ... like anyone would believe that story
Funny how Rush makes a point to make up outlandish bullcrap to embarrass others, but someone state the truth about poor chubby-cheeks ... and it's the end of the world for him and his ditto-heads.

Pity party, table for one ...

30. I think a bit of "turnabout is fair play" is in order here.
Who do you think would hurt more by a boycott? The NFL, by this loon giving up his tickets.....or this loon, by NFL fans driving right on by Max's Truck 'n Assault Weapon Emporium?

36. In The 80's????
Rushbo at one time worked as a PR dude for the Kansas City Royals..never was affiliated with the Chiefs. This was before his radio "career" that really began to take off when he went to Sacramento. But who cares...if rushbo was the reason this asshat went to games, he probably didn't know much about football anyway. Good chance this scumbag used his tickets to impress people...while his money may be missed, his sorry ass won't be.

37. Good luck on that boycott bozo. Most of the games I saw on TV seemed to be pretty packed with fans
I'm sure Rush will use the economically struggling and piss-poor teams who had trouble seeling tickets before the season began as proof that the boycott is effective though.

38. It may become the ironies of ironies
never get between a person and their football, at least here in texas.

This simple brand of stupidity by rushballs, could be his ultimate undoing.

It would be sadly ironic, because, he says so many hateful things yet, it would be his "boycotting" of football that would be his ultimate demise.

39. Just curious
But it seems to me that if the same thing happened to Al Sharpton everyone on this page would be screaming BOYCOTT THE NFL. I'm just curious if any of you have any idea what this is all about.

It doesn't seem to me that it really has anything to do with Rush, but with the fact that he was excluded based on his political views. For the record, I'm as far from a Rush fan as you can get, but I still don't see how his political views should exclude him from investing in a major sports team.

So I guess the real question is, how would you feel if it was Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson who was excluded based on Political views?

We may not like the man, but exclusion based on political views isn't exactly right.
