If the major sporting leagues were smart, they would tell Congress to pound sand. With historically low approval ratings I doubt that Congress would have the nads to shut down MLB or the NFL. The commissioners should dare Congress to pull the antitrust exemptions and pi$$ off the (voting)fans of those leagues.
