AT: NFL Goofs By Nixing Limbaugh

What if Rush Limbaugh wanted to buy the Seahawks? Oh, my. The conflagration would have been second in local history next to the Great Seattle Fire of 1889. As one of liberalism's castles on the hill, Seattle would have spilled thousands into the streets to protest. People would have been so mad they might have . . . jaywalked . . . not recycled . . . chosen plastic . . . broken a tree branch hanging Limbaugh in effigy, or worse, burned the effigy, thus swelling the carbon footprint. The horror. The horror. Of course, the purchase isn't happening. The Seahawks aren't for sale, and Limbaugh this week was formally booted out of one group's effort to purchase the St. Louis Rams. Too provocative and distracting, it was said. But the Seahawks will be for sale someday. What if Keith Olbermann wants to buy in?/Art Thiel, Seattle P-I. More here.

Question: Did the NFL set a bad precedent by rejecting conservative talk-show host Rush Limbaugh as a potential buyer for the St. Louis Rams?
