Rush Limbaugh

Some big news in the world of sports during the past week was Rush Limbaugh and the possibility of him becoming a part owner of the St. Louis Rams football team. Rush Limbaugh is a well-known, and at some times highly controversial radio talk show host. He has been mentioned as a possible new owner of the St. Louis Rams football team and this has been a big topic of interest among current and former NFL players as well as current owners of other NFL teams. Many players and owners are strongly against the idea of Limbaugh being in the NFL because of some controversial comments he has made in the past. About 5 or 6 years ago, Limbaugh had some very questionable remarks regarding Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb. Because of this and some many other comments on his radio show that Limbaugh has made in the past, his ownership has been a big debate all week. This is an example of how sports relates to other realms of media, such as radio technology, because of Limbaugh's involvement in talk radio and his persuit of part ownership with the St. Louis Rams organization.
