FERGIE’S FREE PASS?

NFL’s Ownership Litmus Test May Hinge On Political Views

After nearly two weeks of fabricated anti-Rush Limbaugh smears from the news media, what kind of scrutiny can be expected now that trashy pop tramp Fergie has also indicated an interest in bidding for a NFL team?

No, we’re not making this up.

At least from the league, we already have an answer: while Limbaugh is judged and potentially blocked based on fabricated, phantom “quotes” from his program, the outspoken left-wing Black Eyed Peas performer instantly passed with flying colors.

According to the AP late Tuesday evening, Fergie (real name: Stacy Ann Ferguson) has been pre-approved at a meeting of team owners before even placing a bid:

MIAMI — Fergie may soon be on the Miami Dolphins [team stats]’ bandwagon as a limited partner.

NFL owners meeting in Boston this week approved the Black Eyed Peas singer as a part owner, but the team has yet to complete an agreement with her, Dolphins chief executive officer Mike Dee said in an e-mail Tuesday.

Fergie and the Black Eyed Peas already have a marketing partnership with the Dolphins. She wears a pink Dolphins jersey in a campaign this month for breast cancer awareness.

Fergie, whose real name is Stacy Ann Ferguson, is a Grammy-winning singer and also an actress. Ross has said his celebrity partnerships stir excitement and reflect the vibrancy of South Florida, and he envisions the Dolphins as a glamour team.
Hey, why shouldn’t Fergie pass the NFL’s political litmus test? As an outspoken Obama supporter who appeared at his nomination acceptance speech in Denver last year, she’s got the credentials they’re looking for (even if parents are horrified). She also visited with the man whose oratory skills she finds “amazing” at the White House earlier this year.

Never mind the fact that she sings about “her humps” or chats about wild sex and drug sprees** in her past, it’s about the integrity of the game, right? Of course, it’s Fergalicious!

At the same time, Rush’s bid continues to run into trouble, thanks to a dishonest smear campaign. One team owner has vowed to vote against Limbaugh’s acceptance, while players continue to be manipulated:

** Fergie has admitted to crystal meth addiction and to being a lesbian or at least bi-sexual.
