The NFL, a league without scruples

And no union worthy of the name.

 

The NFL did not create the TV-size rule. That's in the area of the federal law on trademarks, rebroadcasting, etc., and should be updated to reflect the actual TV sales market.

I found it odd that some of the churches backed down so easily ... would any jury (or judge looking for re-election votes) side with a corporation over a church, especially in these circumstances ?

 

As far as churches backing down quickly ... I can't speak for all, but I can speak for the church I attend (not the one that was notified by the NFL, but one in suburban Indy), which has had a SB party for years.

With the local team involved, we had planned on having one this year.

The church leadership canceled it, not because we wanted to flaunt the NFL in court, but because we believe the Bible requires us to obey all laws that do not directly contradict the Bible, whether or not we agree with them (OK, if this is the case, I tend to do about 10 mph worth of sinning every time I get on the highway, but alas ...).

 

crimson, other Indy churches, though, were quoted as saying they kept their parties in place in defiance, basically saying the ministry of providing "family" options was more important than the NFL's broadcasting rights.

 

Union? Not in any meaning of the word you can think of.

I think it should correctly called an "association" or a "club'

 

I worked with Rachel in college. Good gal (even if all she wore were Auburn shirts). Very underrated writer, and I'm glad she's getting props here. And no, I'm not Rachel. :

 

Thanks for stopping by, Rachel!

Had to be said.

 

Way to edit out my last sentence, Context Man.

 

No problem, dools.

 

At least not here... maybe in that Karaoke bar, with heels...

 

You don't have a chan....I mean, what are you talking about?

 

The church was also charging admission.
