Roger Goodell, Commissioner
National
Football League (NFL)
Dear Commissioner Goodell:
If it’s true that the National
Football League (NFL) will promote Obama Care through Public Service
Announcements (PSAs); then be assured I will say goodbye to the NFL.
Like many Americans, the NFL is
my pastime. I’m 68 years old, and can recall Green Bay Packer games on the
radio, Ray Scott on television in the 50’s -60’s, Vince Lombardi, Packers v.
Lions on Thanksgiving Day, more recently the magic of Brett Favre, and most
importantly sitting next to my father watching the games. During all that time,
what I don’t recall is the NFL promoting a political agenda. If you go down
that road you will lose me, and I believe many other Americans just like me.
Sport, and particularly our
national pastime, must always be above politics. Monday through Saturday our
Nation may be divided, but on Sunday that is put aside, whether Democrat or
Republican, conservative or liberal, libertarian or socialist, we are all fans.
That’s the purpose of sport, that’s the beauty of sport, and that’s the integrity
of sport.
Do you really want to further
divide our Nation? Do you really want to kill the golden goose? Do you not understand America?
Well do you?
