Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said Monday she is in talks with the NFL to help promote new insurance options under ObamaCare. Sebelius said the football league has been "very actively and enthusiastically engaged" in discussions about a partnership to encourage people to enroll in newly available insurance plans...

PR stunt.

Don't fall for it.

[Conspiracy Guy]

I don’t fel like reading about the NFL but I must assume that they have elected to use Obamacare to replace their existing plans. /sarc

[Conspiracy Guy]

fel = feel

[longtermmemmory]

well isn’t that special.

first the NFL turns homosexual.

now it goes communist.

[ecomcon]

You know what? Football sucks now.

[fatnotlazy]

And this will be when I stop watching my beloved Steelers.

Pink October is ridiculous but tolerated. This nonsense will be bad for the NFL.

Liberals have been ramping up their attack on football to the extent that some, including Rush Limbaugh, are speculating that football may not survive.
Ironic that Frau Selelius would prevail upon the NFL to promote the ObamaCare disaster.
I'll be surprised if Goodell does not comply.

I stopped watching when Dan Rooney ####ed Obama in exchange for an ambassadorship. Combined with his racist "Rooney Rule," it was enough to boycott the team.

I can see it now. Sebelius standing on the sidelines and being interviewed by one of those brainless chicks that the NFL uses as color commentators.

[SeminoleCounty]

NFL already has attendance issues in many cities .....shilling for ObamaCare will not help

[grumpygresh]

They might as well just try to nationalize the NFL.

Obama and Syphilis are probably threatening to go after the NFL for concussions and other health issues. Of course, they would do with through 3rd parties so that their isn’t a trace back to them, but the real threat is still there.

BTW, Obama using the EPA to shut down coal plants. Remember when he put that off for the election? Now it is back on.

Big business is terrified of this thug. They need to all stand up together and oppose him, but they are too scared.

pansies.

[MestaMachine]

U don’t watch ANY professional sports or college sports anymore. It’s all gone too far.

[fatnotlazy]

It will be like Penneys going all homo in their advertising. Penneys still doesn't know why customers stayed away in droves. The NFL will have the same problem when it starts shilling for this administration.

[Durbin]

What are they gonna do? Commercials? Wear stuff on their uniforms/helmets? Actually use Obamacare under the players’ union?

[I am Richard Brandon]

I wonder how much their existing plans cost -the premiums must be hefty, Hefty, HEFTY.

[Tilted Irish Kilt]

Well , Sebelius didn’t see anything wrong with forcibly asking for donations from the very same providers that her agency supervises and has regulatory authority over ( Think overreach / coercion )

She could just drop the hint that she has friends over at IRS who would like to audit the league books , and players finances ( Think overreach /coercion/control )

Maybe if the NFL offers (?) to show a few Public Service Annnouncments at each quarter ( Think overreach / coercion ).
If so suggested , then maybe a few Constitutional Public Service Announcements are also appropriate (think voluntary)

[slouper]

Do it, go ahead, I won’t watch or go to another game ever. I don’t think I’m alone.
