It's all about PR — for both parties. Limbaugh has managed to offend almost every possible grouping you can imagine in this country. The NFL wants to appeal (and make money off of) every possible grouping of people in this country. It's as simple as that.

And while his racism is front and center in this media blitz, don't doubt that a lot of women are also football fans — and they make and spend money on the sport as well.

As for your hypocrisy note — Limbaugh has spent the last 20 plus years making those two men symbols of his racism and taking pot shots at them. It's not surprising that they, in turn, took pot shots at him.

Otherwise, great post!

Limbaugh didn't earn that by selling Oreck Vacuum cleaners on the radio. I think there should be an investigation. The Rams are said to be worth more than 900 Million Dollars.
