Rush Limbaugh 's Rebuttal of the Smears and My Boycott of the National Football League

Rush Limbaugh has written an article for the Wall Street Journal entitled "The Race Card, Football and Me."  Rush writes in his own defense:

I never said I supported slavery and I never praised James Earl Ray. How sick would that be? Just as sick as those who would use such outrageous slanders against me or anyone else who never even thought such things.

The sports media elicited comments from a handful of players, none of whom I can recall ever meeting. Among other things, at least one said he would never play for a team I was involved in given my racial views. My racial views? You mean, my belief in a colorblind society where every individual is treated as a precious human being without regard to his race? Where football players should earn as much as they can and keep as much as they can, regardless of race? Those controversial racial views?

I have decided to personally boycott football for the rest of the season.  I will not watch or follow any teams or any games, including the Super Bowl.  When even sports in America becomes politicized and tainted by the dirty-pool slander of the left, it is time to withdraw my support.  I am not pretending that this will grow and spread and have any impact whatsoever on the NFL; I do it because I am alienated and disgusted.  I do not wish to be a part of something tainted with slander and injustice.

Update:  Al Sharpton has threatened to sue Rush Limbaugh for his factual descriptions of Sharpton's documented bigotry.  What a laugh that would be!  See graphic above that I created back in 2007.
