Glad the government is taking up worthy causes

Kerry presses NFL
Link|Comments (40) By Mike Reiss, Globe Staff December 24, 2007 08:34 AM
Massachusetts Senator John Kerry has appealed to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to take action to ensure that all Patriots fans in New England, and across the country, will have the chance to view the team's season finale against the Giants.
The game is scheduled to be broadcast on NFL Network. WCVB in Boston (Channel 5) will also carry the game, but that still means parts of New England won't be able to see it.
“In just five days, the Patriots will try to become the first team since Don Shula’s legendary ‘72 Dolphins to finish the regular season undefeated, but huge numbers of Pats fans today wouldn’t be able to see the game. Unless immediate action is taken, thousands of fans outside the Boston area will not even have access to the broadcast,” Kerry said in a press release.
“If this isn’t fixed in a hurry, it speaks volumes about how some big interests see the fans. I hope the NFL sees the error of its ways and allows every ‘twelfth man’ to see this unprecedented event.”

Forget about homlessness, forget about genocide, or the war in Iraq, or orphans. Who cares that the environment is going down the tubes?
Kerry chooses a legit cause worthy of his time. Never mind that people could just buy Directv. It's pretty sad that the government has to intervene on this.
