I am reading on the ESPN Website about US Senator Arlen Specter [Republican] from Pennsylvania wanting to investigate the National Football League [NFL by its acronym]. It all starts from the fact that the New England Patriots were found to be videotaping the opponents practices and getting caught in the process. It was also found that after the NFL did not pursue the matter, they destroyed the tapes or someone might have destroyed the tapes. The centre of the storm is the former video assistant to the New England Patriots Mark Walsh.
The Republicans and Arlen Specter have nothing else to do but investigate the NFL with the intention of damaging the NFL. For Arlene Specter, it was not enough that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell fining the New England Patriots Coach Bill Belichick Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars. For Arlene Specter, it is not enough that the New England Patriots were fined Five Hundred Thousand Dollars and lose the right to the first right choice in the NFL Draft.
Arlene Specter is a Republican Senator who like most Republicans and Democrats want to destroy all forms of happiness in the United States including sports. Arlene Specter has no right to investigate the NFL while the NFL Competition Committee has applauded how NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell was able to deal with the New England Patriot Scandal. Arlene Specter has no right to interfere with the NFL when he voted against the Coburn Amdt. No. 4036 which would prioritize scarce resources to basic medical services for Native Americans on Valentines Day [Fourteenth of February] 2008, and has received contributions from Blank Rome LLP, Comcast, UPMC Health System, and Kline & Specter.
Arlene Specter should leave the NFL to take care of its own business and make preparations for retiring from Congress and Active Life. After all, he like most members of Congress do not have term limits and have nothing else to do but make the lives of people miserable with their "jokes becoming laws" as Will Rogers once said. WASHINGTON LEAVE THE NFL ALONE!!!!

You would "think" the Congress of the United States would have much bigger concerns than blasting the NFL or Major League Baseball. Good grief. I'd think they would be busy trying to figure out how to prolong the war in Iraq or stealing more of our hard earned money in the form of taxes!! (yes...sarchasm) Too bad we don't/won't vote them ALL out and find some good people who will get in there and actually look out for the citizens of this country!! Some people who would actually find some kind of projects to help the very people they are supposed to be representing. Too much to ask for I guess.
It is the people who should take matters into their own hands and vote out those who are already in power and replace them with new faces or maybe new parties or no parties. After all, George Washington once considered Sports as an American Instiution and Political Parties as Anti American Institutions.
Big business, big money big government. Bigness creates headlines, and our congress people like headlines.
I agree with you. It is for this reason that we should replace the traditional Congress and politicians with new faces and if they are Libertarian and Green, more so.
