The NFL Players Association opposes Rush Limbaugh's bid to buy the Rams. Limbaugh is part of a group that aims to purchase the franchise. In an e-mail to the union's executive committee on Saturday specifically addressing Limbaugh's bid, NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith said, "I've spoken to the Commissioner [Roger Goodell] and I understand that this ownership consideration is in the early stages. But sport in America is at its best when it unifies, gives all of us reason to cheer, and when it transcends. Our sport does exactly that when it overcomes division and rejects discrimination and hatred."
