It's all about $$$$. The NFL execs see Rush as bad pub, which to them means risk, lost viewership - - lost $$$. There are not enough dittoheads who are not already football fans to make up for others that might be lost. As long as moral character can be kept in the background, so as not to affect the bottom line, it makes no difference to the NFL money machine. But when someone like Rush, who revels in his reputation as a sh** stirrer, is visible within the NFL power structure, the bean-counters get nervous.

For Rush, on the other hand, there is no such thing as bad pub. It's a win/win. The denial of NFL ownership because of "liberal" complaints provides him weeks and weeks worth of hate spewing, and for now, at least, hate sells to a big enough segment of the population to make it profitable. Just like 9/11 was the best thing to ever happen for Dub, this could be the best thing to ever happen to Rush.

You make some valid points. But look at it like this, Rush would take the heat off of Jerry Jones.

IMHO, the worst thing that ever happened to Dub was 9-11. Would you want to deal with something like that?

I wouldn't, I like smooth sailing.

I'll take your point, and qualify mine. 9/11 is the best thing that could have ever happened to Cheney. It gave him free reign to impose his agenda while letting Dub think he was doing something.
