(Some) NFL players and owners, hypocrites?

HHhmmm, seems that tired over-used saying that rings through the Sports World alla time; “Everyone deserves a second chance” only applies to certain situations.
Apparently it applies to those players who killed people (even double homicide stabbings), have beaten women, made it rain and crippled people, drown underperforming dogs, and hUFf enUFf drugs to sink a ship. Yeah, do any of that (and more I missed) and you can play w/o a problem. Try and buy into a franchise though, and BAM!….can’t use that saying anymore.
Rush Limbaugh, who I could personally give two dead flies for either way, was involved in a partnership proposing to buy the St Louis Rams….yeah, I know,…WHO would want them? Still, why can’t The Rush use the old “HEY!,..give me a second chance”!!….after all, there are a large number of PLAYERS in the NFL that have done REAL physical harm, DEATH EVEN, to a good number of people, but they “get another chance”….Most recently and as equally as FAMOUSLY, was Mikey Vick. Donte Stallworth KILLED a guy! Look, I don’t even CARE who ends up with the franchise, its just seems hypocritical to me to hear these arguments….and then hear that phrase used over and over to support the players for re-instatement.
Rush Limbaugh said some things, and some things have been attached to him that haven’t ever been confirmed, it appears. Oh, and; He’s “paid” his dues!(that’s another biggie!),..He was removed from ESPN for THIS, again, not an absolute cut-n-dry case, it seems. But he lost his job, and was crushed in the media! One response in that link, says there is ”No room in sports broadcasting for racism”. I accept, believe and support that notion full bore!…However, I cannot believe murders ARE something that same person (who made that quote, you can read it there for yourself) would endorse….Yet there are several in the NFL who have BEYOND A DOUBT, killed people. And Ray-Ray who just paid the families of the guys HE killed, to shut up and go away. Certainly the substance in the case against Ray-Ray was at least EQUAL to that evidence against the Rush-guy. Kepp Rush out!..fine, but take the others out too!
Again, it bears another mention, that I do not view Limbaugh in a good personal light here, and could really care less about his pursuit on most levels; BUT if you’re allowed to keep him out, why not the others who have done much worse? Where’s his 2nd chance?….Rape, Murder, Drugs, Sexism, multiple arrests….all those are “second chance worthy”, but not Rush?…Fake reverand Al Sharpton can get into politics, but Limbag is out as an NFL owner?….Al Sharpton is perhaps THE biggest racist on this planet!(and a darn sizable hypocrite too).
