6. There are disreputable pro sports owners
Rap singers JayZ and Nelly own parts of the NJ Nets and Charlotte Bobcats.

Just look up some of their lyrics and I bet you'll find that they're just as offensive as any Limbaugh rant.

Hypocrisy should be recognized in all its forms, regardless of slant.

I hate to even get into this discussion, but those NFL players wouldn't bat an eye if a 7 figure contract was put in front of them, principle be damned.

Also, for all non-NFL fans, google Leonard Little and Jamal Lewis - both currently active players - one a convicted cocaine dealer and the other killed a woman while he was drunk. Ironically, Mr Little is a member of the St Louis Rams. He even scored a touchdown today!
