Two stars from the Seattle Seahawks took time away from the field to cut an ad shilling for Obamacare.

The ad, posted Friday, features Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson and rhetorically explosive cornerback Richard Sherman touting the benefits of President Obama’s healthcare law and its web portal Healthcare.gov.

Guess they don't know the actual meaning of "free" health care. Just another reason to back the Packers this weekend. GO PACKERS! :>}

We should be criticizing the NFL which accepted a contract with HHS to require each team in every market to run a PSA.

Wilson and Sherman are just the most prominent Seahawks.

Still pisses me off.

A little insight regarding PSA’s and Athletes. I have a friend that is a Pitcher for A Major league baseball team. If one of athletes gets in trouble,drugs,domestic violence,drunk driving, dog fighting.... they are REQUIRED as part of their punishment to perform PSA’s for the Franchise in order to remain in good standing.

So when you see an athlete doing these, you can bet your last nickel he/she got caught doing something they weren’t supposed to be doing.

If the NFL wants to get political, then they are going to lose A LOT of support.

This type of political nonsense only goes on under Rodger Goodell.

The league was a lot better off under the leadership of Pete Rozelle and Paul Tagliabue.

NFL has got to be careful. When it completes its transformation into the crony-capitalist part of the political establishment, it can only decline from there.

Tough crowd. I love the Seahawks and not going to throw them under the bus over this PSA, which frankly doesn’t even mention Obama or sound “political”. Just reinforces that people should have healthcare insurance and that the Washington healthcare is one place to get it. GO HAWKS!!!

they make a lot of money and already get free health care with their teams. Liberals, do as I say, not as I do.
