Al Be Sure: Sharpton Speaks Against Talkie Limbaugh’s Rams’ Bid
St. Louis, MO (AHN) – After last week’s reported attempts by Rush Limbaugh to purchase the struggling St. Louis Rams, Rev. Al Sharpton wrote NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell Monday in an effort to block the talk show host’s bid.
Sharpton, a former presidential candidate, registered his disapproval of Limbaugh becoming an NFL owner, even as part of a group.
He indicated that the controversial radio commentator has been divisive and “anti-NFL” in many of his comments.
Meanwhile, NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith also complained to the Goodell regarding the inclusion of Limbaugh in the possible ownership group bidding for the Rams, Stltoday.com reported.
In the same report, the union leader also urged players to oppose Limbaugh, but none have responded to the call.
Last week, Limbaugh confirmed that he is part of a group aiming to purchase the winless football club.
He would reportedly be a limited partner in the said group.
