Both Warren and Markey are pro-labor. Neither can be happy with this ruling, if they've bothered to look at it. Unfortunately, their team (and Shaheen's) doesn't set the agenda in the US Senate.
This isn't about Brady, so much as it is about the power ratio of management-to-labor.
That is one seriously naive statement -- I mean legendary naive.
Let me ask you about your "team", did they just realize this deflategate thingie seems a bit wrong now? Because at last check the sham has been going on in the press, at times the biggest story in the media, for more than a year. Oh wait, was that the election cycle back then??
ESPN and largely the NFL is a member of that same team, fyi. Disney is a member of that team, fyi. Do you even suppose that maybe just maybe the root of your team's party backers effect how they would sit in silence for so long when a few words from a few well known politicians might have given Goodell pause on this sham?? But last year would have happened outside of an election cycle wouldn't it?
And if their speaking up for the "working man"(oh lord), wouldn't it have been helpful if done before the thing was done, in the books, and now part of guiding judicial case law??????
Wow...
Fyi, the other "team" isn't run any different regarding who pays the bills and how the politics are calculated, and none across the two team's boards spoke up because the political upside was too murky (what was right was irrelevant) ......when going against/mixing it up within the emotions of sports fans beloved NFL as well as taking on media controlling powerhouse titans (especially ones that you are going after are actually part of your own team's $$$ power).
It's the offseason so I'll take some liberty to end it with this: there is one politician who spoke up for Brady loudly from day 1, Donald Trump. That statement isn't an endorsement of Donald trump being president or a disqualifier from him being president (though I get a kick out of it possibly making the collective heads explode of both team member's heads). That is just fact though the team members do not like to hear or contemplate that. And the reason why seems plain: every member of the two teams calculated the politics and what kind of party ripples it would cause. Trump OTOH appears to just about completely lack that filter(maybe that is good, hysterical or both). Again that isn't an endoresement or panning of him, that's just what seems to clearly be the case.
With that said, if the monotonous and painful to watch clown car full of politicians from both teams want to finally do what they should have done before and bring some pressure down on Goodell? I'll gladly take their vapid transparent self serving actions since it just so happens to be right too (something that likely wasn't a factor to these calculating glib automaton boobs).
Point clear?
