    Not really, what you say should matter. The people calling out Rush are the hypocrites as they are just as racist but sit on the other side of the fence.

    aaaah, I get you...yes, Al and Rush have a lot in common...I see your point about that...

    You think Rush Limbaugh would not have called out either of those two gentlemen if they wanted to buy a team? Please

    In this context I don't think it was either JJ or Al who made the difference. Team Owners were already lining themselves up and players made a call to suggest they would not play for RL team.

    Of course he would...that is precisely why I said they are the same. As for players not playing for any new owner...you are under contract, you will live up to your contract and play 100%.

    Yeah but what free agent is going to sign up for a rascist? Sometimes money will win out but it will be a hardship...

    Sharpton threatens to sue Limbaugh over column

    NEW YORK — The Rev. Al Sharpton on Saturday threatened to sue conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh for writing in a column that the civil rights leader played a role in two New York race riots.

    In a column published by the Wall Street Journal on Saturday about his derailed bid to become part-owner of the St. Louis Rams, Limbaugh accuses Sharpton and the Rev. Jesse Jackson of making comments that helped get him booted from a group that was trying to buy the NFL team.

    Limbaugh derided Sharpton as having played "a leading role in the 1991 Crown Heights riot" and the "1995 Freddie's Fashion Mart riot."

    Those comments prompted a quick retort from Sharpton, who called both allegations false.

    Sharpton was not present for or involved in the rioting in Brooklyn's Crown Heights section in August 1991, during which hundreds of blacks were involved in attacks on the neighborhood's Jewish residents. He did deliver a eulogy at the funeral of the youth whose death in a traffic accident triggered the violence, but that didn't happen until the violence ended.

    Sharpton also wasn't present on Dec. 8, 1995, when a lone, black gunman burst into Freddie's Fashion Mart, a Jewish-owned business in Harlem, started shooting and set the building on fire. Seven people died. There was no riot.

    Sharpton's organization had, like other black groups, been involved in picketing the business over its plans to expand into space occupied by a black-owned business, but he said he couldn't be blamed for the madman's rampage.

    "Unless Mr. Limbaugh apologizes and clarifies his statements, attorneys for Rev. Sharpton will move forward with a lawsuit," said a written statement released Saturday by Sharpton's spokeswoman. "He has the right to criticize Rev. Sharpton, but he does not have the right to accuse him of criminal activity, and riots and murders are criminal."

    A spokesman for Limbaugh did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
