NFL Blows Chance To Do Public Good

Monday 29 July 2013

I'm like most sports fans who like to keep sports and politics as far apart as possible.

Not always possible.

It's like Dave Zirin wrote in his book Game Over: How Politics Has Turned the Sports World Upside Down: "Whether we choose to acknowledge it or not, a politically charged atmosphere pervades all of professional sports."

So, you'll forgive me for mixing a little politics with football.

Plus, it's July.

This little story deals with how the NFL could have helped out informing the public about the Affordable Care Act, but went all scaredy-cat on us when it got a nasty letter from a couple of Senators.

Feel free to offer your cogent and incisive thoughts.
