Re: still think this is gonna die, hagan?

The government is already deeply enmeshed in the NFL. Billions of dollars are associated with it, special interests and lobbies play a factor into campaigns, taxpayers pay for the stadiums, and antitrust allegations crop up pretty much yearly. How many times have the NFL, TimeWarner, Cox, DirecTV, and Dish Network sat in front of Senate/House committees?

I agree that government *shouldn't* be involved in sports. But it is. Let's not delude ourselves.
