In response to Sylvie's Post.....

Do you think that with all the pressure that the president is under and trying to revive the economy that he should be disturbed by such inconsiderate idiots?

I have always thought that politics and sports should not intervene with each other because there is obviously more important things for the president, congress, and senate to worry about. This is not the first time that this has happened, a few years ago when all the steroid allegations were happening in baseball congress jumped in and i thought that was just unnecessary and should not have been handled that way. Former senator George Mitchell was assigned to investigate for 20 long months possible steroid allegations on over 80 different players, a lot of them being star players. I believe that people should know the truth about what was going on during that point in time but i didn't think it had to go to congress on national television when there are far worse things going on in our country then proving or not proving steroid use among million dollar athletes. The same goes for football. There is no reason for the President of the U.S. to have to intervene because owners and players can't work out a deal because of selfish greed. These players are already making millions this shouldn't be a ongoing issue. Do you feel that there is any reason for the politics and sports to have anything to do with each other?
