    But, of course, Rush is clearly ineligible due to conservative view points to be a small minority shareholder in a football team.

    Yes and no.

    Yes, you should have the right to rent to whom you choose, but no, you should not discriminate against anyone. It's called Catch-22. :dunno:

    Not if their race or ethnicity is a basis for your choice. It's illegal, it's immoral, and it's ignorant.

    If you're not a billionaire it will get you jail time, as it should.
