Obama: Change Coming
to NFL to Reduce ´Violence´

Breitbart Sports, by Tony Lee

Original Article

Posted By:Dreadnought, 1/27/2013 10:18:58 AM

President Barack Obama said if he had a son, he would have to think "long and hard" before he let him play football and suggested he--along with other football fans--watches football against his conscience. "I´m a big football fan, but I have to tell you if I had a son, I´d have to think long and hard before I let him play football," Obama said. In an interview with the left-of-centerThe New Republic, Obama said football will "probably change gradually to try to reduce some of the violence" and that may allow fans to not have to "examine our consciences

Rush was right.

Rush has predicted the end of football as we know it. He´s probably right. The NFL will soon be forced to take women and give them linebacker jobs.

Just keep alienating various segments of the population, you hen-pecked loser. And this is a career at which young black men have a better chance than whites--- and of enjoying a multi-million dollar salary.

For a girly pants who never played football in his lifetime, he sure spouts what the game should be!

If you had a boy in Chicago, you´d think long and hard about even letting him leave through the front door.

You know that people hit each other in football. That´s like suing someone after the fact because you got your nose broken while boxing.

Life has risks. People make choices. People still choose to smoke since the 1964 warning, and still sue the tobacco companies. It is a crazy world we live in.

You have daughters...change the rules so that THEY can play on the Frontlines of the NFL. In fact, just pass an executive order that Mandates proportional representation not only of women but of transgended and transexuals...add the NBA while you´re at it.

I thought he said if he had a son it would look like Trevon. Now if he had a son he would have to think long and hard about letting him play football. He sure spends a lot of time thinking about guys.

BTW Mr. President! Nothing precludes you in having a son,who you can mould him as a Trayvon or a football player or anything else that you choose to. Please stop running the lives of hard working people, whose taxes have given you and your extended family a "moochful life".

Typical empty, valueless statement from Mr. Obama. If he had a son he would not let him play football. But he doesn´t have a son. And football will "probably change gradually to try to reduce some of the violence". But he is still a "big football fan". Got that?

No wonder he won´t release his college transcripts.

Having an opinion about Obama´s opinion is a mistake.

The question is: why are we interested in his opinion on any sport or leisure activity in the first place?

More pronouncements from the One. He wants us to know that while he watches football, he´s not like the rest of the Neanderthals that watch the Superbowl and beat their wives and girlfriends during the commercials. He won´t hire women, or pay them the same way he pays the men, but he wants you to know he´s not like the Neanderthals who have declared war on women. He eats burgers and fries, but he wants you to know he´s not like those Neanderthals who eat junk food. And on and on. Your typical metrosexual.

To take a stab at the question #14 poses, I would say that we have a better chance of getting a correct opinion from the slacker on sports than we do on ANYTHING regarding policy of anykind from this guy. After all, he spends more of his time on sports than he does his job now doesn´t he?

Hey, for once he´s right! Other than kicker or punter, I would not encourage my son to play football either. I would not stop him from playing, but the track team or basketball team is a much better choice.

Cue up the trial lawyers...this is a tried and true method for poisoning the well of public sentiment against the evil NFL owners. This same tactic has been used against physicians, to promote malpractice suits, against car companies like Toyota, you name..you frighten a sector into spending money on lobbying, lawyers, and campaign contributions to stave off meddling by congress. Meanwhile, the trial lawyers attack like wolves from the sides,trying to thin the herd. Demonization is the tactic. Of course who pays for this? The ticket buyers and fans. I´m guessing Obama prefers soccer...

If there is any change to the NFL, it should be to eliminate the African ritual dances every time one of the players does something well that he gets paid millions of dollars for doing.

Liberals seek to control every little aspect of individuals´ lives-- the light bulbs we use in living room lamps, the shopping bags we use to carry groceries, the cars we drive, football, the entertainment many of us cherish, and what we say, even our very thoughts. Liberals want to silence all criticism, no matter how valid, of protected groups, particularly muslims, blacks and gays. For libs, nothing will ever be enough. They are relentless. Do as I say, not as I do. Hypocrisy.

Shut up and start with Democrat corruption first. Then you can spend some time reading the Constitution and perhaps enroll in an Economics 101 class. After that we´ll allow you to inquire about the rules in football.

Liberals used to love to quote the (apparently apocryphal) line from a Sinclair Lewis character “When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and waving a cross.” Wonder if they’re reflecting on that this week? We knew that early in the first term, the White House attempted to exclude a news agency from pool reports. Now come revelations that the Justice Department engaged in sweeping eavesdropping on AP journalists; that the IRS targeted conservative private citizens while favoring liberal ones; that the EPA charged fees to conservatives groups while waiving them for “green” activists;

MOORE, Okla. — Spotlights bore down on massive piles of shredded cinder block, insulation and metal as crews worked through the night lifting bricks and parts of collapsed walls where a monstrous tornado barreled through the Oklahoma City suburbs, demolishing an elementary school and reducing homes to piles of splintered wood. At least 51 people were killed, including at least 20 children, and those numbers were expected to climb, officials said Tuesday. The storm stripped leaves off trees and left scores of blocks in Moore barren and dark. Rescuers walked through neighborhoods where Monday´s powerful twister flattened home after home

Steve wrote this morning about a hearing being held this week by the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, in which Apple’s CEO, Tim Cook, will testify tomorrow. The subcommittee apparently is trying to highlight supposed tax avoidance on the part of American companies, as the Associated Press reports: Apple Inc. employs a group of affiliate companies located outside the United States to avoid paying billions of dollars in U.S. income taxes, a Senate investigation has found. The world’s most valuable company is holding overseas some $102 billion of its $145 billion in cash, and an Irish

Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) asked Attorney General Eric Holder to investigate election integrity org True the Vote and its associated Tea Party group, King Street Patriots, immediately before the IRS and DOJ began targeting the group in June 2010. Rep. Jackson Lee sent a letter to Holder which alleged that True the Vote was intimidating voters and their election monitors were crossing the line in unspecified “instances” of voter intimidation. The letter went on to directly assert that the “alleged events” were factual and that the True the Vote effort was behind the crimes

Gunmaker Smith & Wesson tops the list of best businesses in bright blue Massachusetts — after not making the list at all last year — a new report in the Boston Globe found. The 161-year-old company, based in a state with some of the stricter gun control laws in the nation, tried to diversify its holdings by acquiring a security company in recent years, only to do an “about-face” by focusing on its product line, the newspaper said in its explanation of the Springfield firm’s top spot. “We went back to what we do best, which is handguns,”

Journalists, First Amendment watchdogs and government transparency advocates reacted with outrage Monday to the revelation that the Justice Department had investigated the newsgathering activities of a Fox News reporter as a potential crime in a probe of classified leaks. Critics said the government’s suggestion that James Rosen, Fox News’s chief Washington correspondent, was a “co-conspirator” for soliciting classified information threatened to criminalize press freedoms protected by the First Amendment. Others also suggested that the Justice Department’s claim in pursuing an alleged leak

Perhaps no other IRS official is more intimately associated with the tax agency´s growing scandal than Lois Lerner, director of the IRS’s Exempt Organizations Division. Since admitting the IRS harassed hundreds of conservative and Tea Party groups for over two years, Lerner has been criticized for a number of untruths—including the revelation that she apparently lied about planting a question at an American Bar Association conference where she first publicly acknowledged IRS misconduct. Still, Lerner has her defenders in the government and the media. Shortly after the scandal broke, The Daily Beast published an article headlined "IRS Scandal’s Central

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

Stuart Varney said this morning on "Varney & Co." that one of his producers was given a questionnaire with some surprisingly intrusive questions on it when he switched doctors. One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement
