Wouldnt this make Limbaugh a socialist?

Given than about half of all team's income is from the shared TV revenue contracts....an equal share regardless of market size.

I think it probably goes beyond Limbaugh's single comment about McNab and perhaps Goodell is more concerned about the fact that he spews controversial rhetoric on a regular basis, which is fine for his show but could bring unwanted negative attention to the NFL.

The NFL, with its anti-trust exemption, is also basically a private club and there is little or nothing to prevent current club members from using whatever criteria they want to determine if they will allow a particular person as a new member...and they tend to shy away from controversial figures.
