The Right is Roasting

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch has reported that the current owners of the NFL St. Louis Rams have entered a signed agreement to sell the team to Flex-N-Gate Corp. magnate, Shahid Khan.  Khan, an engineer from Illinois also happens to be an immigrant who arrived from Pakistan 40 years ago as well as a Muslim.


Late last year, well-known bigot and right-wing radio blowhard Rush Limbaugh entered a bid to purchase the Rams.  The NFL Players Union and many black players spoke up against and helped to block that sale.  As you can deduce, it's probably not going over well with Republican nation that their hero and leader Rush was ultimately passed over in favor of a brown, Muslim immigrant.  In fact, it is quite possible that this is even more disturbing to Rush country than the election of Barck Obama.  NFL ownership is a country club/old boy's network that may even be more sacred than the Presidency. 

FOX News surely can't be handling this well.  It won't be long before investigative reports detailing him as a terrorist surface.  Anything to stop it.  If Khan does indeed become the majority owner, then he will have bigger fish than the right to fry--like finding at least one more worthy fantasy football player on the roster other than Steven Jackson.
