Idiot pols now getting into the act.

Rep. John Conyers tries to revoke NFL's TV rights - On Politics: Covering the US Congress, Governors, and the 2012 Election - USATODAY.com

I'd think that addressing over two years of continued double digit unemployment in the working class would be Job One, but no.

Look for the Union label
when it is branded upon our Pols.
They are willing and able
to put our members on the public dole.
Slaves to our contributions
to their campaigns to tax everyone.
Look for the Union label
when dirty Pols are having fun!

And we wonder why Congress never fixes things or makes things work. That's a great solution...take the record broadcast deals that league owners have been able to collectively extract out of the mix that largely fund salary parity for the league and we'll see more than profits plummett... Maybe Peyton Manning will land in NY (or DC or Dallas) yet...

Ah, it was only a matter of time before our fearless grandstanders stepped forward with toothless threats.

Well, yeah, it's a politician. The only thing that differentiates them from career academics is a comb over, psychotic self-import, and the rejection of one's own sexual orientation.

You guys have had the wool pulled over your eyes. The middle class in this country is shrinking. The oligarchs are taking everything. Soon there will be nothing left. Boy, you may have noticed the swindle on Wall Street. Who are the pols caryring water for? The working man? Out of your mind.

Ah, and here we have the resentful seething talk radio shut-in!

Wonderful

The politicians need to become even MORE involved by revoking the business entertainment tax expense which has inflated prices sky-high for the average fan and produced nothing but a bunch of pink-hat wearing teetotalers in the middle tiers at Gillette and elsewhere. Take that sucker away and let the real fans support the league. This league would do just as well on $5 billion in revs as it would on $9 billion. Maybe they'd stop talking about new stadiums and expansion overseas at that point.

Here you throw your BS out about Jays52 and Box then go on to your fabricated BS about how expensing business entertainment expenditures is what has inflated the prices.

You clearly haven't heard about Supply and Demand. And I don't believe you understand that the Luxury Boxes have nothing to do with the current contract.

And it sure as hell doesn't account for 4 billion in revenue to the league. Seriously. You were spouting boulderdash before and you're doing it now.

Working man? Like DeMaurice Smith I suppose. John Conyers isn't responding to any prompting from Brian Hoyer and his UDFA contract. I've got no friends on Wall Street, and I've got no friends in union leadership, neither give a damn about me or you, but they'll share the same bed with the other when they smell money.
