BNF to NFL: Rush Limbaugh is a Racist

As the issue of Rush Limbaugh possibly obtaining partial ownership of the St. Louis Rams gathers steam as a racial issue, Brave New Films has organized both a video and a petition aimed at telling the NFL what many people already believe: Rush Limbaugh is a racist.

At the very least, his rhetoric, which we all know is aimed at causing upset and anger among his "dittoheads," is racist.

In fact, recently, NFL Players union executive director DeMaurice Smith, slammed the possibility of Limbaugh becoming an owner.

Here's what BNF says on their petition site:

Professional sports has always served to unite Americans across class, creed and race. Now Rush Limbaugh, whose career is driven by dividing Americans precisely along those lines, wants to buy an NFL football team.

Limbaugh is a racist and a chauvinist. His values are diametrically opposed to the traditions the NFL stands for. Limbaugh will poison professional football as he has poisoned the culture of American political discourse.

We stand with former and current NFL players in urging the league to reject Limbaugh's ownership bid. Sports fans deserve better.
