Rep. Steve King (R-IA) grilled NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell yesterday (10/28) on Goodell’s recent comments that contributed to Premiere Radio Networks talk host Rush Limbaugh being dropped from an investor group seeking to buy the St. Louis Rams. Noting that pop star Jennifer Lopez and Black Eyed Peas singer ‘Fergie’ are both owners of the Miami Dolphins, King (pictured) pointed out, “Between the two of them, they have alleged that the CIA are terrorists and liars, they’ve promoted sexual abuse of women, they’ve used the ‘N’ word, verbal pornography, recreational drug use, etc.” King also pointed out the irony in ‘Fergie’ being approved as an NFL owner on the same day Goodell made his statements against Limbaugh. “I’d ask you to go back and take a look at the owners of the Dolphins and the language that’s in the public venue, the songs that they recorded, review those lyrics, and respond to that question after the hearing as to whether you’ll put the same scrutiny on those owners who have really shined a negative light on the NFL as opposed to somebody that the NFL apparently just doesn’t agree with his politics.”
