Rush to Judgement

About a week or so ago, I heard a caller into the Rush Limbaugh show explain that the National Football League is based on conservative values, and how it would fall apart if it were more liberal. Rush agreed of course, being a fan of both conservative values and the NFL. Rush went on to explain that if Liberals were in charge of the NFL, then half of the players would be women, and abortions would be the half time show. Outrageous. Beyond that, he is wrong in his assumption that the NFL is based largely on conservative values. The point was that hard work is rewarded with financial gain, although they didn't bother to articulate that point. Isn't one of the greatest aspects of the NFL the salary cap? Isn't that controlled capitalism at its best? The salary cap is the reason the NFL is so popular, and why the MLB and NHL don't enjoy the same popularity. Any team can win any year because the salaries that the team can spend is controlled. Seems rather liberal to me.
