John Kerry Threatens The NFL

Now I'm certain that John Kerry is every bit the Patriot fan as he is a Red Sox fan.

But, if he really wants to watch the New England Patriots-New York Giants game, why not just ask his wife to pay for it?

Kerry asked football Commissioner Roger Goodell today to move the game to NBC – and threatened Senate hearings if he does not.

“Under the unfortunate circumstance that this matter remains unresolved, leaving 60 percent of households across the country – including thousands in Massachusetts – without access to Saturday’s game, I will ask the Senate Commerce Committee to hold hearings on how the emergence of premium sports channels are impacting the consumer,” he wrote to Goodell today in a letter released by his office.

The Massachusetts Democrat added that he would “consider what legislative measures may be necessary to ensure that consumers are more than bystanders in this process.”

Pathetic. Surely Theresa could come up with the subscription cost from coins under the seat cushions.

I also wonder - why NBC? Is it because they support the troops the same way that he did?
