If it is the role of the federal government to “lower the cost of health care,” then it is only a matter of time that all sports be eliminated. After all, I am certain that hundreds of millions of dollars are spent on the health care of athletes at all levels.
Plus, it would be good for the environment to eliminate all of the unnecessary travel of the players and fans!
Once the pro-athletes are subjected to the 0bummerCare we’re going to get on Jan 1st, 2014, that’ll be the end of the game. But they can fly to offshore medical ‘boutiques’ and/or bring-in docs to take care of them.
The leftist-commie-greenies would love to end all carbon-based air travel, except for themselves and AlGoreBore&Co.
