How would St. Louis residents feel about Rush Limbaugh owning the Rams? (Cape Girardeau: 2009, buying)

By all means, please go ahead and provide us documentation that these observations are not true.

And I cannot post any of the Jay-Z lyrics, because the CD Po-Po will bleep them out. But if you still doubt me, go ahead and look up the lyrics to "99 Problems" - quite disturbing, at least to normal people.

I don't agree with what Rush talks about but he has every right to buy the team if he has the dough too do it.

LOl... No, that's not how it works. Where is your data and evidence regarding Rams fans. There have been non-sellouts in the league this year and the Rams have had zero of them. The Rams have sold out most of their games since 1995 despite poor management and poor play most of that time. Prior to that the St. Louis football Cardinals were well supported despite having the league's worst owner, and despite never winning or hosting a playoff game of any kind in those decades.

Just because you say something and repeat it enough, doesn't make it true.

Rush Limbaugh has every right to be a part owner, shareholder in the Rams. Go for it. However, the Rams have been an organization of poor management and poor leadership for a long time. The controversy isn't necessary.

Missouri as a state has seen a big rise in Evangelicals in its rural parts in recent years. The larger communities such as Stl, KC etc... are moderate places overall on the whole with a divide between conservatives, liberals, moderates, within each community.

yEP OLE rush has the right to buy into a team. I imo think he is racist and i am a white guy. When you hear him say the word "ask" and change it to say "axe". Then you start to get a clue that he is racist.
Such as in rush talking to his housekeeper" I am not axing you to get me some Oycotin pills.I am telling you to get me some oxycotin pills, and i will rat you out if i get caught and i won't get into trouble at all. Now i am axing you; are you gonna get me the pills? lol
I am ashamed that he is from Missouri.

Ha ha ha. Have you been to any of these games since 2002? A large part of the sellouts are attributable to out-of-town fans - particularly Chicago, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Dallas, Minnesota, Kansas City and a few others - purchasing tickets from disgruntled local fans who would rather watch a competitive team. Don't you recall Stephen Jackson whining about it? The next time the Bears in town, go to the EJ Dome and compare orange and blue to gold and blue.

FT, let's call a draw and say we're both right - the Rams still have sellouts, and a large percentage of those fans filling the seats are out-of-town fans.

Jason Whitlock has a pretty good spin on it!

No, you are incorrect factually speaking, and I am not incorrect factually speaking. Therefore I cannot nor will not logically speaking say we are both correct.

I've had season tickets to the Rams since 1995, including the one season at the old Busch Stadium, through the present.

Have you ever been to a Bears game in Chicago when its packed with Packer fans? Were you at the Pittsburgh at Washington Monday Night game last year when it was a virtual home game for the Steelers? How could that be in one of the country's biggest football towns, D.C. ? Say it isn't so. Apparently you have not seen all the Packer fans in the Metrodome over the years.

This has been going on quite a long time. Fans of opposing teams actually, gasp go to games in opposing team's stadiums. Shocking. And, when they are in close proximity to the opposing team, more show up, shocking. And, when one team hosting struggles or is out of contention, more of the opposing team shows up. Say it isn't so.

Most of the tickets to Rams games are season tickets, paid for by Rams fans. And, most of the time the seats are filled with Rams fans. The instances I described happen all the time with every team in the league.

Are these the same Chicago Bears who had trouble with turnout in their playoff game v Seattle a couple of years ago? Say it isn't so.

Players whining? Hmm...is that a new phenomenon? I couldn't help but notice all of those Broncos fans with their signs and baby talk when Jay Cutler came to town a little while back. I also couldn't help notice the no shows when Denver hosted Buffalo last season. Say it isn't so. I didn't see those Viking fans when they were torched for 49 points in a playoff game at the Edward Jones Dome a few years back. Say it isn't so.

And so it goes...

Talk about the biggest loud mouth...he would be a disgrace to the city of StL. The Ramns would hate it, too.
