Specter Has His Priorities Straight
Arlen Specter wants to hold the NFL accountable for destroying tapes related to the New England Patriots cheating scandal. No law, federal or local prohibits one team from filming the signals of another. Nor does any law prohibit the destruction of such tapes. And yet, Arlen Specter is brave enough to stand up to the oppressive regime known as the NFL and demand justice.
I, for one, am glad that members of congress are finally realizing that illegal drug use in Major League Baseball is not the only urgent matter facing this nation. We have major companies audaciously creating and enforcing their own rules as best they see fit. What’s next? Businesses firing employees for company theft without first having the matter reviewed by a member of congress? I mean, if companies are allowed to create and enforce their own rules within the context of the law but without explicit federal approval, our system will function far too smoothly and congress might have to address such dead-end issues as healthcare and the economy.
I shiver at such a thought. Thankfully, Arlen Specter is here to help our nation keep its eye on the ball.
I was vexed with the honorable Senator from Pennsylvania myself, until somebody informed me that most of his constituents are Giants fans, at least as between the Giants and the Patriots. Then I realized that Sen. Specter timed these demands in order to distract the Patriots during the practice week leading up to last night’s game. Now that it’s worked, I suspect he’ll let it quietly die….
I too am extremely thankful for Mr. Specter advocacy. Next, I think he should look into little league referees, not to mention the unfairing practices of basketball hoop height. That has always struck me as height bigotry of the worst type.
