***Facepalm***
I'm a big Seahawks fan too.
I guess you make as much money as you can and even prostitute yourself.
It’s a law, you have to. Are they going to next encourage people to pay their taxes?
When tens of millions of americans do their taxes, they are in for a shock.
Feeds right into my tag line.
How long is the wait for a peasant to get a torn ACL repaired under Obamacare?
The last time I checked you did not have to be a genius, let alone a typical Free Republic Overall Genius (FROG), to make it big in the NFL.
In other words, just because you can throw 60 yard touchdown passes and earn $10,000,000 a year is not going to make you an expert on health care. OTOH, women seem attracted to both of these features and will generally be glad to overlook your lack of understanding of health care issues.
So, you are OK for the NFL. But don’t run for office when you retire.
The government “enlisted” the NFL to help promote it, and the NFL declared PSAs for it as fulfilling the charitable requirements each player has to do during the course of the season. It’s just like the Get Moving commercials and the United Way commercials, part of the job.
Another reason to hate the Seahawks.
Got the notice yesterday that my doctor will no longer be covered by my plan effective June 30th. And my plan went up by $52 a month this month.
Why are these athletes out there telling people to sign up for this crap obamacare? Surely they know that people, their fans, are not at all happy about this and are being adversely affected by it. can we assume they’re being strong armed by the obama administration? /rhetorical
Our nation is very sick.
So, only poor people without health care can do promotion spots for Healthcare.gov? What do their own health care arrangements have to do with it?
They also do commercials for car dealerships in the area, but can afford to drive much pricier models than they advertise. Should they not be allowed to advertise cars?
Perspective, people.
This is a F ing shame (and I’m from Seattle).
Who is Russell Simmons?
So if low-information Seattle Seahawks mega-stars want everybody to sign up for Obamacare then they need to do the following. They need to work with state and federal lawmakers to propose a healthcare amendment to the Constitution to the states. And if the states choose to ratify their amendment then the feds will have the constitutional authority that they need to establish Obamacare and the Seattle Seahawks mega-stars will be heroes.
If you’re a multimmionare being able to make your monthly Obamacare payments is no problem unless your monthly premium was proportional to your income and you had to pay $250 - 500,000 which is how it feels to us nobodies out here. If that were the case he’d shut his mouth. You know the government loves money so much maybe we should give them a new idea and make the celebrities who have the big bucks pay according to their income. Yeah let Mr. Motormouth be a part of the fairness / equality crowd and make him pay “his” fair share. We’ll see how much he likes that.
Remember George Orwell’s statement in “Animal Farm”. “All pigs are equal but some pigs are more equal than others”.
So if Wilson is a multimillionaire, he can afford Obamacare. Oh, I forgot. He’s got a gazillion dollar NFL health insurance policy while many of his fans have crap and IRS fines.
Welcome to the greedies’ “brave new world”.
“Quarterback Russell Simmons”........lol!!
He is a football player. it matters not what comes out of his mouth, for it carries no consequence, other than an overpaid millionaire playing a high school sports game.
I will not watch another Seahawks game until Obamacare is repealed - I’ll be sending them a letter to that effect.
