Olbermann versus Limbaugh on sports: Play ball!

By Brent Budowsky - 05/05/10 03:46 PM ET

You gotta love this. The right wing is up in arms because major league sports give respect to the sports expertise of Keith Olbermann while Rush Limbaugh has been unable to buy a team. Boo-hoo. What whiners!

The fact is, Keith Olbermann has long been one of the most respected sportsmen in media, as most sports fans know, long before he became a leading progressive host. He deserves respect. He has earned respect. He will get respect. He should. The right should stop whining about this.

Regarding Limbaugh, hey, if an owner wants to sell him a team, it doesn't matter to me. Maybe an Arizona team, right? I also wish an owner would sell Olbermann a team! Nowadays some Orioles fans might agree!

When Rush announced some football, I thought he was weak, but that's my opinion, on sports grounds. Others may disagree. That's what makes America a great country.

The right needs to get a life. Stop whining. Stop the crybaby stuff. There is no comparison between Olbermann offering sports opinions based on a career of sports knowledge and Limbaugh's inability to buy a team, because even sports owners think he's off-key.

Maybe Keith and Rush can debate and give the money to charity. They can debate sports or politics. I'd put my money on Keith for either.

Play ball!
