What in the blue ****? This is absolutely outstanding. The United States President thinks that this is important? I understand that he's a big football fan, but the fact that men get paid to throw a ball, tackle other men, and try to score points ultimately winning a GAME and that he thinks there's some legal issue that needs to be addressed blows my mind. What's the angle here? Is it to transfer bloated salaries of of one team or several teams to another team or several teams? How does this affect our economy or the wellness of the American life? It's ****ing football, it's a sport, it's part of the entertainment industry. The government needs to regulate this why? It affects nothing other than the government trying to control every faucet of American citizens.

I nearly spit on my computer and nearly punched the monitor. This is totally retarded. Yes, I said retarded. It's a slowness of the brain, or Obama, or the government. So damn retarded I can't believe this slime can even propose outlandish bullshit like this and get any large sector of people to actually go along with it. That man should be removed from office. Retarded bullshit.

You're talking about Orrin Hatch right?

You're reading this to literally. This was a response to a Republican Senator that has made it his reason for being in office. Obviously he's being more polite about it, but Obama has repeatedly said there are bigger problems. I doubt he even wrote the letter. It's probably a ghost written thing.

The assistant attorney general wrote it, i.e. the Justice Department

Yea, we get to live in the lovely state and hear all the bad press that Hatch and our Attorney General have nothing better to do than this.

Hatch should be thrown out along with all the other senators that spending us to an oblivion (sp).

You can check out European Soccer to understand how the system works.

Basically you have 4 leagues(no college teams) The leagues are comprised of 20 teams that play each other twice every year. The team with the best record is the champion. The playoffs are done separately throughout the season. There is a domestic cup and a european cup(if your good enough in your own league)

Many times lower tier teams gain money by selling their players to upper tier teams.

Now in the NFL you'd be talking about a huge change. Teams that didn't cut the snuff would be dropped to the 2nd league while teams that did well in the 2nd league would promote. Of course there is no salary cap in this paradigm. It's pure capitalism. But it does reduce the top league to only the best talent.

I suppose a Super Bowl would be demanded. So i'd propose 2 divisions of 10 teams with the winner of either division being the champions and meeting in the Super Bowl.

The second tier would be similarly organized and the bottom 2 teams in each division would be up for demotion. You could see how intriguing the system can get. Far more interesting than our current system.
That would never fly here. People don't like change and they want a circus atmosphere, not at all like it is now. :D

Honestly I don't mind them taking this on. If it distracts them from doing stupid things with our money.
In that case, we should demand that every member of Congress justify their existence. If they think that a foolish task like this is their business, they clearly don't know what their job is.

Let me start by saying that I'm not very political at all. I stand back and listen to other people's opinions and debates and draw my own conclusions but I never really express my opinion because NOBODY can say who is right or wrong. I think the best route I can take is to try my best to get all the facts and not allow others to skew my opinion from poor research or what have you.
Moving on I have been reading this site for a long time and I have learned a lot from you and respect your opinion. On the other hand this post just sounds like a very poorly staged rally cry. I don't think you have your facts straight and I would think that if your best interest is to improve our country then your best bet might be to help everyone by educating rather than filtering through the facts and digging for some smut. This whole thread is sad.

You aren't kidding. But I don't think we'd find many volunteers to take their place. The folks we want to lead won't. Who wants to lead a nation of whiners. I realize not everyone is a whiner, but there are enough that it's unbearable at times. We got it good and believe me other governments are far worse than ours. In fact I'd say we are close to the top in terms of governments.

We do have one of the better governments but that can change at the speed of light if we don't pay attention to what they try to pull. The authors of the Declaration and Bill of Rights were the kind of people we need now but they don't exist, IMO. They were paid for their expenses and that's all but they looked at being part of Government as a public service, not a career that would provide the same income as their time in office, for the rest of their lives. It often took more than a week just to get to the Capital and they held more meetings in winter after the growing season was over, because so many had farms, plantations and their own companies.

Now, all the members of our version of government have is ambitions that don't jive with what the country needs.

I must have been drugged, I have no excuse. I'm not responding to another political thread on this forum. It detracts from everyone.
