NFL’s Goodell, Irsay: Rush Critics Democratic Contributors
NFL Commissioner, Colts owner supported controversial candidates.
How stupid do these people think the rest of us are?
In the middle of the Rush Limbaugh–NFL episode, in which liberals have been busy circulating made-up Limbaugh quotes to sabotage Rush’s opportunity to buy in to an ownership role in the St. Louis Rams, comes this news item.
“NFL lines up to stop Rush” reads the small story in today’s New York Post.
The story quotes Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay this way: ”I, myself, couldn’t even consider voting for him. Words do damage, and it’s something that we don’t need.” Irsay also says: “As a nation, and as a world, we’ve got to watch our words and our thoughts. They can do damage.”
And NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell puts it this way: ”Divisive comments are not what the the NFL is all about. I would not want to see those kind of comments from people who are in a responsible position in the NFL.”
Really? If words do damage, what about actions? If comments are divisive, what about actions? If one has to watch, as Irsay suggests, “our words and our thoughts” — what about actions?
Like, say, the actions of Mr. Irsay when he contributed $2,000 to the John Edwards for President campaign in 2004? Mr. Edwards, you may recall, was the great left-wing hope in 2004 and the running mate of that well-known non-controversial John Kerry in the 2004 election. Should a man who owns an NFL football team even be remotely associated with a man as divisive as John Edwards? No problem, apparently, because Edwards is a liberal, unlike Rush Limbaugh. Who, wonder of wonders, has employed “words and thoughts” in opposition to Mr. Irsay’s favorite non-controversial candidate. Who, of course, has not only a lot of controversial “words and thoughts” but one pretty significant action that seems to have permanently sidelined his career and lots more than that.
Mr. Irsay, it turns out, has a habit of controversial contributions to controversial politicians who, like John Edwards, are not Limbaugh fans. There’s the $200 to Democrat Congressman Patrick Kennedy of Rhode Island, the $500 to Democrat Congressman Edolphus Towns of New York, and so on and on. Perhaps most interesting is the Irsay $5,000 that went to Gridiron PAC. Here Mr. Irsay’s money was spread out among candidates with names like Congressional Black caucus Chairman James Clyburn of South Carolina, Senator Christopher Dodd of Connecticut, Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont, and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
But wait! There’s more! Just when you think Mr. Irsay’s controversial contributions could not be controversial enough, here’s another set of controversial politicians with whom he has chosen to associate himself. The names?
George W. Bush ($1,000), George W. Bush and Dick Cheney ($2,000), and George W. Bush and Dick Cheney ($2,000 again).
And Mr. Goodell? He who is opposed to things divisive “from people who are in a responsible position in the NFL.”
Mr. Goodell, who presumably gets his paycheck from running the NFL, uses his money to give campaign contributions to non-divisive people like New York Senator and Democrat Charles Schumer ($1,000 just this year), the non-controversial Democrat and Congressman John Conyers of Michigan ($500) and, like Mr. Irsay, Commissioner Goodell has given $5,000 to the Gridiron PAC, where his money has been doled out to the likes of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Senator Dodd and Senator Leahy. And, also like Mr. Irsay, the NFL Commissioner has sent his checks to the uncontroversial and non-divisive George W. Bush and Dick Cheney and, yes, John McCain.
So what do we have here?
What we have is a game within a game. Within the game that is professional football and the NFL, we have another game altogether.
It too is played by serious professionals. It’s called, “controversy and divisiveness for me, but not for thee.” Or, more accurately, not for Rush.

Twitter Trackbacks for The American Spectator : NFL's Goodell, Irsay: Rush Critics D links to this page. Here’s an excerpt:
Oldefarte| 10.14.09 @ 12:10PM
Goodell would not doubt welcome a purchase bid from say, Jesse Jackson; but Jackson has probably already spent his extortionist funds on buying his mistresses houses somewhereout west!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oldefarte| 10.14.09 @ 12:17PM
PS----Limbaugh's commentary while an ESPN analyst concerning McNabb [and the 'tingle up their leg' sports media] was accurate, correct and factual. McNabb, Eli/Peyton Manning, and Troy Aikman were all #1 NFL draft choices [the latter three to cellar-dwelling, building/rebuilding teams]----------which QB's of those 4 led their respective teams to Super Bowls??????? Jamarcus Russell, the #1 draft choice of the Raiders, is really leading them toward a Super Bowl, right??????? I'm sick and tired of all of this POLITICAL CORRECTNESS bull-excrement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Todd| 10.14.09 @ 1:26PM
In fairness, McNabb did get to a Super Bowl 5 years back though he lost. McNabb is a decent qb but Tom Brady and Peyton Manning are easily better. Lots of top pick qbs have been failures though Jamarcus Russell looks to be in a class of his won for futility. Why he is still playing I have no idea, any 3rd string qb would do at least as well as him if not better.
It wasn't really so much a criticism of McNabb but of the fawning media and that is why they are so determined to discredit Rush as a racist.
JoshINH| 10.14.09 @ 7:57PM
I think that McNabb was an excellent QB at Syracuse and very well could have won a Super Bowl. The fact is that NFL teams have 53 players. You can't lat the success or failure of the 53 on 1 person (the QB). If you doubt that, what about Trent Dilfer who was cut the year after leading his team to a SB title and didn't have much nfl success after that.
By the way, Limbaugh's real "sin" was to mix sports and politics.
alyeska| 10.14.09 @ 4:27PM
and aren't you all glad that rush's illegal drug use was outed before he spent all his "hard-earned" money on oxycontin?
whew! that was a close one.
Eric Cartman| 10.14.09 @ 5:15PM
Yes! It sure was a close one. Almost as bad as John Edwards almost becoming president, but not quite as bad as Ted Kennedy killing a girl while driving drunk! Double whew! Oh, the non sequitur room is that way ----->>>> Can't miss it. Turn left when you reach Huff Po.
alyeska| 10.15.09 @ 1:37AM
...almost as bad as laura bush killing a guy in a drink/drive accident -- anyway, it's a moot point as ole rushbo has been slapped down again.
muggedbyreality| 10.15.09 @ 9:22AM
You might want to read some of "Guilty" or "Donkey Cons" before attempting to make the Left sound righteous.
alyeska| 10.16.09 @ 3:14AM
i have never attempted to call the left righteous.
VN_Vet| 10.16.09 @ 8:44PM
After the revelations of the last couple of days regarding the fraud that was the race allegations, and the political connections of the actors involved (all the way to Obumba), I think ole Rush did the slapping! As he always does. The left just seems to be a bunch of bumbling idiots. I'm reminded of the lefty letter that Rush sold on EBAY. LOL.
A. Brooks| 10.14.09 @ 7:34PM
Rush is nothing compared to what Ted was.
Manslaughter?
Alan Brooks| 10.14.09 @ 10:58PM
"Rush is nothing compared to what Ted was.
Manslaughter?"
that is, doctor shopping is as nothing to accidentally (or possibly accidentally-on-purpose) driving off a bridge and drowning someone.
Diogenes| 10.14.09 @ 7:37PM
Taking another name, Simple Reader?
muggedbyreality| 10.15.09 @ 9:20AM
Um. Rush was definitely hooked -- but that addiction stemmed from a painful physical ailment. He admitted it. He fought against it. He did something about it. He paid a price for it.
He didn't make obscene jokes about it -- as St. Ted did about his contretemps. That woman didn't drown; she died from asphyxiation. Had he been concerned about her life in the least, she would have had a shot at life. But Teddy loved his jokes about the incident.
Alan Brooks| 10.14.09 @ 7:07PM

Paul from SA| 10.14.09 @ 12:35PM
Isray and Goodell are making a mistake. This can escalate into a huge public relations disaster for the NFL and the Colts (and ESPN).
I'd like to hear more about these two hypocrites.
Football fans are conservative and are in no mood for this kind of crap from them.
TNBEN| 10.14.09 @ 12:53PM
I've already let a few major NFL advertisers (FedEx, PepsiCo, Coca-Cola, Anheuser-Busch, MillerCoors, Nike) I won't be buying their products or using their services if Rush is blocked.
Cowboy Con.| 10.14.09 @ 1:05PM
Maybe Rush could reconsider and buy the AZ Diamondbacks instead. We could use some good ownership. Instead of trading all the players as they get good, we could trade the owners. C'mon Rush, help us out for Jerry's (Coalangelo) sake.
Old Guy | 10.14.09 @ 1:15PM
The city of Indianapolis built Mr. Irsay a $750 million stadium and threw into the lease most of the revenues therefrom. The city is now having financial problems - with the possibility of reduction of park services for our citizens and their children. When it was suggested that the stadium lease might be altered, the idea was met with, "I've got a contract. It's not my responsibility." Sort of "let the little brats play in the streets" approach." But I guess it's nice to know that he does have some sense of sensitivity - NOT.
Michigan and Me| 10.14.09 @ 1:21PM
The DeVos family (Amway) own the Orlando Magic and are very active in Republican politics. The NBA players don't care. I doubt the nonsense about Rush will have any effect on his chances. Drew Sharp is considered by nearly everyone in Michigan, inside and outside the stadium walls, to be a lightweight sportswriter whose column means zilch. He's dead air and nothing more.
MPV| 10.15.09 @ 9:14AM
Unfortunately, it did. Rush is now out. I live in Indianapolis and I have written to Irsay et al and let them know how disgusted I am that they say nothing about Keith Olbermann's hate speech.
Bronson| 10.14.09 @ 1:38PM
I think many people are missing the boat here.
I am an independent conservative that has some very strong opinions on some serious topics. I can't stand Rush Limbaugh because he is a goon, a hack, an actor, a phony. His comments on Michael Fox were pathetic and classless and his commentary on McNabb was unnecessary. What most so called conservatives just don't understand is that guys like Rush are in this for the sound bite. He is all about ratings and not about substance. As far as ownership in the NFL, he fits in perfectly with a league full of steroids and criminals. The NFL's glory days are long gone. They can have him.
alyeska| 10.14.09 @ 4:30PM
yikes, logic!
what are you doing here?
victor| 10.14.09 @ 7:42PM
Michael Fox admitted to suspending his medications for Parkinson's to fraudulently endorse a fraudulent remedy for Alzheimers and other conditions.
He deserved that as there are other non-lethal stem cell therapies that involve bone marrow cells, retinal cells, umbilical cord blood cells among others.
Alzheimers is now found to be caused by an amino acid deficiency, no stem cells required.
Liberals are the ones that need to resort to lying, cheating and chiseling to achieve their ends.
Augie| 10.14.09 @ 10:23PM
This is a stupid column. Your initial point regarding John Edwards is ignorant. The contributions to the Edwards campaign were made prior to his actions being discovered. If youre initial point is not accurate, it diffuses your entire column

Hello,
My name is Bronson and I'm an alcoholic. Not just any kind of alcoholic, but one who wakes in the morning, grabs a bottle of Ole Sourpuss, drinks the whole damn thing, huffs a can of paint and gets online. I then try to make a coherent argument about something I know nothing about or have assembled an opinion on after hours of drinking and brooding about my miserable life. I make a fool of myself, my family and my friends. Help me stop! Help me stop writing gibberish after my morning binge. Give to the Stop Bronson From Drunk Writing Foundation. Give as much as you can to help stop this travesty as soon as possible.
Thank you,
Bronson
Bronson| 10.14.09 @ 3:28PM
To the terminally stupid individual who posted at 3:02pm: Since you didn't attach your name to your post, you clearly expose yourself. Obviously, since you have no intelligent response to my post at 1:38pm, we get the babble you produced. I'm sorry if I offended your hero... looks like ole' Rush has a low IQ audience.
I'm impressed that you can read though. Outstanding.
Bronson| 10.14.09 @ 3:47PM
Hello,
My name is Bronson and I'm also bipolar/MPD patient. Sometimes I post idiotic assumptions and rant about people and things I know nothing about. Then I apologize to the readers in a sincere attempt to seek help by explaining my pathetic condition. I then swerve the other way and rant at myself for the apology I have just made. One may think it is fun, since I always have someone to argue with, but then I grab some Ecstasy from my sock drawer and down a handful with a few swigs of Ole Sourpuss and have a moment of clarity - such as now. As you can see, I need a lot of help. Please give generously to the Bronson Bi Polar/MPD Defense Fund Against Drunken/Ecstasy Induced Rantings. Help me stop! Help me stop the insanity!
Thank you,
Bronson
Eric Cartman | 10.14.09 @ 3:49PM

Oh my oh my oh my-oh! You po' boy.
Tim| 10.14.09 @ 3:26PM
I always thought of the NFL as jocks, turns out they are sensitive snd worried about hurt feelings. In addition to blocking Rush they should adopt some more cuddly team names, like Kansas City Kittens, Pittsburgh PCs and the Minnesota Manners.
victor| 10.14.09 @ 7:47PM

Mr, Gas-Baugh is entitled to do whatever he wants, with his money...it's a "free Country"
HOWEVER..just about ALL of this douch-bag's racist comments are verifiable, and are on public record
If one is comfortable with such filth, hey..go fer it....
Bronson| 10.14.09 @ 3:58PM
Hello,
My name is Bronson. Sometimes I call myself jarhead after the Ecstasy kicks in. Please help! Please give generously to the Bronson/jarhead Bi Polar/MPD Defense Fund Against Drunken/Ecstasy Induced Rantings. Help me stop! Help me stop the insanity!
Thank you,
Bronson/jarhead
Eric Cartman | 10.14.09 @ 4:01PM
Double Sweeeeeet!
VN_Vet| 10.16.09 @ 8:56PM
Egg on yer face, seems that his (non) racist comments are more manufactured than verifiable. I knew this from the start because I actually LISTEN to him.
Louis Jenkins| 10.14.09 @ 4:13PM
Let Limbaugh buy partial or whole interest in the S.L. Rams. If the teams fails to make a profit for him it is his money, and I doubt the anti-Rush crowd would cry over it. But if he makes money they'll pitch an even greater stink. Should we really care? If players don't want to play for his team then so be it!! Do you actually think the pre-game show or the half time show would consist of "Rush's Greatest Talk Show Pointers"? The greater travisty is the archaic commerative uniforms that are being worn. They weren't too bad when we watched the games in black and white but are hideous in color.
Bronson| 10.14.09 @ 4:24PM
Even in my drug and booze induced state of humorless rants, I have to agree with Mr Jenkins here. These are the ugliest uniforms I have ever had the misfortune of looking at! So ugly, in fact, that I believe it was these uniforms which single-handedly ripped the humor from my soul. I am now a humorless, pitiful, bi polar, Ecstasy popping drunkard with MPD who writes ignorant piffle on discussion boards. I'm pitiful. Please give generously to the Bronson Bi Polar/MPD Defense Fund Against Drunken/Ecstasy Induced Rantings. Help me stop! Help me stop the insanity!
Thank you,
Bronson

STOP! Whoever you are! I've almost peed my pants. Twice!
Bill| 10.14.09 @ 4:26PM
As I remember, the Declaration Of Independence says that our "pursuit of happiness" is a God given right. Rush's pursuit involves an ownership interest in an NFL team.
Lies about what Rush has said just disqualifies those who tell them.
Al Adab| 10.14.09 @ 4:42PM
Declaration, Constitution, those are just old parchment from a bunch of dead white guys. Law must not get in the way of our modern PC world. Thought police are alive and well. Beware.
victor| 10.14.09 @ 7:51PM
That also appilies in our modern Mac era as well.
Notice that they always blame "dead white guys".
Imagine the uproar if we were to blame "dead black guys", eh?
james| 10.14.09 @ 4:34PM
Once and for all folks, get it right before the Lie becomes the Truth (like FDR curing the Depression.)
Rush Limbaugh's comments were not about McNabb. They were directed at stupid liberals in the sports-writing business, and he, as always, was absolutely correct. He was right about McNabb being overrated and he was even more right about the motives of of the lefty sportsters.
Mark| 10.15.09 @ 11:01AM
According to Rush, Tom Jackson would not work with him. Gee if Jackson didn't suck up to Berman all the time he wouldn't work either. He also acted like a little girl not taking Limbaugh's calls to discuss the problem. So much for all football players being men.
lowell| 10.14.09 @ 4:52PM
Bronson deserves his own website, or at least closely supervised access to one.
Glenn in BR| 10.14.09 @ 5:04PM
"I would not want to see those kind of comments from people who are in a responsible position in the NFL."
What about MICHAEL VICK???? glenny
MPV| 10.15.09 @ 9:18AM
And Keith Olbermann?
Ches| 10.14.09 @ 5:37PM
And who ok'ed Irsay when he spent his money buying a company? Oh, he inherited his fortune. I see.
macdaddy| 10.14.09 @ 5:46PM
About 22 million people watch an NFL game on one of the networks. Rush gets 20 million listeners a day. What do you think the overlap is between the 2 demographics? Losing even 10% of its viewers will not go over well with the rest of Mr. Irsay's colleagues. But, hey, if he wants to hang out with Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, both Reverends who seem to have very little capacity for turning the other cheek or forgiveness, more power to him. My wife will be happy for me to turn off the TV on Sundays, Mondays, and Thursdays.
Pete| 10.14.09 @ 5:56PM
I heard some sportswriter clown (suprise, surprise, from the northeast) on the radio today fumble his way through an explanation that the opposition to Rush owning an NFL team has nothing to do with his politics, rather it is due to his "divisiveness." Yes...and no one is divided over Vick playing in the league again? No one is divided over the Patriots cheating their way to 3 Super Bowl titles? Controversy and strong feelings are at the heart of being an NFL fan. Nothing to do with his politics, my arse. Odd then, that NFL players can kill, rape, etc...and either don't go to jail or get a slap and are right back in the league. But don't bring a...GUN...into a nightclub and hurt no one but yourself...then you are prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
jharp| 10.14.09 @ 6:16PM
It's over. The racist El Drugbo has been dropped from the team.
Justice. Sweet justice.
alyeska| 10.14.09 @ 7:17PM
poor rush -- rejected again. once again he's condemned to a life among the losers, his fan base!
every time he tries to move up he's slapped down and the pathetic part is that he just doesn't get it.
Bronski| 10.14.09 @ 7:54PM
Ah yes, it's good to see Toddard and Liberal Reader back, even if they changed genders.
Briofski| 10.14.09 @ 10:49PM
Poor Obama -- rejected again. once again he's condemned to a life of losers, his Libby Leftie sycophants!
every time he tries to win an Olympics in Chicago, he's slapped down and the pathetic part is he just didn't get it.
alyeska| 10.15.09 @ 12:53AM
obama has been accepted by the likes of harvard and the nobel prize committee, not to mention the majority of americans who voted him into office as President of the United States.
oh, he gets it :)
Briofsky| 10.15.09 @ 8:19PM
Yes ma'm. That would be those Libby Leftie sycophants, now wouldn't it?
alyeska| 10.16.09 @ 3:25AM
i believe president obama won iowa -- but i may be wrong.
VN_Vet| 10.16.09 @ 9:05PM
Um..the credibility of the likes of Harvard and the No-Bell prize committee have long ago expired. He was once accepted by the majority of American VOTERS, but I highly suspect that has expired too.
And as I wrote earlier, it turns out that Rush was the one who did the slapping.
alyeska| 10.16.09 @ 9:56PM
if rush did the slapping why has he been whining all day about "they done me wrong."
no, i think that just like the espn fiasco, rush has been kept out of something he loves because of who he is.
Bydand76| 10.14.09 @ 8:44PM
From now on I think I will ban all liberals from working for me or to join in any military veterans support group that I start.
I dont like their divisivness.Seriously!
It makes me feel weird and uncomfortable. Everyone knows that liberals are bad for the enviroment to start with and I personally dont like the way they smell.
I have decided thatI am not going to allow them to speak at social functions that I attend either. Like weddings or football games. This is intolerable because I can't stand other points of view and when I hear them it makes me want to jump up and down and throw a tantrum like Nancy Pelosi or Al Sharpton.
I think I will start some very nasty rumors about all the liberals that I know and then when their personal problems (like if they have a substance abuse issue) come out as public knowledge, or if they want to start a new buisness venture, I am going to use that to discredit them if they ever try to hang around me or participate in something that I enjoy as well. Oh I Know! I can even write a book about their personal apperances and call them silly names because that after all is the only thing other people really seem to care about.
Maybe I can find some established media outlet that shares my point of view as use them to assist me? YEAH! Thats what I am going to do!
alyeska| 10.14.09 @ 10:12PM
knock yourself out! we don't want to hang with you anyway; bunch of old, thin-lipped, bloodless, white men. why not just grab a suitcase of viagra and join rush in mexico for some underage sex instead of worrying about us.
Black Girl| 10.14.09 @ 10:51PM
Why! It's Liberal Reader!
realman1963| 10.15.09 @ 5:30AM
notice how many responses this loser has for this column, no DOUBT a libtard loser- he has all the qualifications, NO JOB obviously, NO ratioanl arguement, just lying and vicious name calling. you know, those things the commy left sez WE DO. ehy where's that BO birth certificate, btw
Bydand76| 10.14.09 @ 8:48PM
I wonder how Michael Moore feels about all of this?
The whole anti-capitalism thing and what-not.
Bob Mc Grath| 10.14.09 @ 9:22PM
Did not the Rooneys come out for Obama when he was running for president. Maybe they arranged for Pres. "O" to get a Doctorate from Notre Dame. Seem N.D. and the Rooneys have something in common. Forget the little children.
bobmontgomery| 10.14.09 @ 10:15PM
Myles Brand threw away millions of bucks and an athletic department, for nothing. Roger Goodell obviously doesn't have the best interest of the NFL in mind either. There are no grownups anymore. Jim Irsay, who supposedly overcame his problem, obviously has a lot more growing to do as well.
Donnie Brasco| 10.14.09 @ 10:19PM
Did anyone see Monday Night Football when the ref called the first penalty in Spanish?
Would they do that in Mexico during a soccer game?
The NFL is the pinnacle of PC.
Don't buy NFL gear (really most fans look like dorks in football jerseys) dont buy products like Dunkin Donuts that use the NFL teams to sell coffee and write a letter to the advertisers on NFL games.
Gerry Kendall| 10.15.09 @ 12:50AM
And how about that divisive and over the top attack dog named Keith Olbermann who gets to display his sick humor on Sunday Night Football. Is he acceptable to Goodell and the NFL owners?
alyeska| 10.15.09 @ 12:57AM
i know -- rush/glenn/hannit must just be gnashing their teeth that olbermann gets to do all that fun stuff that they don't!
Margie| 10.15.09 @ 9:58PM
Keith Olberman will be gnashing his teeth in place that will have no mercy, a place for liars where there is no escape. Lotsa luck liars!
alyeska| 10.16.09 @ 3:31AM
ooooooh, scarey! in the meantime he's going to co-host nfl games on sunday nights. he's a huge sports fan too, so he really, really enjoys it.
sorry, rush!
VN_Vet| 10.16.09 @ 9:14PM
There are no two more pathetically partisan, polarizing and mean-spirited pieces of crap in the media than Olberman and Matthews. Just hateful sonsabitches.
Yosemeti Sam| 10.15.09 @ 3:09AM
So, El Rushbo was libellously framed, libellously prejudged and finally courageously hung by a select ignorant/partisan sacrosanct fraternity of
bwana NFL team owners.
Sounds like an unfortunate nefarious safari expedition to down the biggest 'elephant' around.
Alas, these pygmies in swampland LMSM plus those unfortunate politically partisan/PC NFL team owners will reap nothing - but his dung.
Bon Appétit.

you make the nfl team owners association sound horrible. maybe rush lucked out when they rejected him. somehow, i don't think that's how He sees it.

Rush real sin was that he was correct and a conservative. ESPN and others are always speaking liberal political PC correct language. I am tired of hearing that trash in sports. However, if there side is heard that it should be fair to hear the other side, Rush. But we have to wrong people running the NFL and media.

Odd as it is, they always wish to see the speck in their neighbors eye, whether real or imagined, yet never notice the beam in their own.
Rush was correct in his assessment of McNabb at the time. He was not the top in his profession, though very competent. I'm a McNabb fan too! However, truth is just that; there were those in the sport which were better.
The media and the masses just don't wish to face the facts, and if it involves anyone which falls into a "category" they have decided is somehow less fortunate, those who choose to offer criticism must then be evil racists.
I guess my willingness to offer my criticism of our president makes me racist too. Oddly though, those "protected" people who criticized our last president were never called racists where they?
