The NFL may have spiked the White House’s request for Obamacare PR help — but the Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens just called an audible.
The team has signed onto efforts to market the health law to Marylanders, according to an announcement from Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown and officials running the state’s Obamacare insurance exchange, known as Maryland Health Connection.
“Research shows that 71 percent of the uninsured population in Maryland have watched, attended or listened to a Ravens game in the past 12 months,” the announcement said. “The partnership will provide Maryland Health Connection with the opportunity to reach and engage fans while making them aware of the new opportunity they have for health coverage beginning this fall through the health insurance marketplace.”
A Ravens spokesman said the team would reveal more details on Wednesday, after a conference call to discuss its role. According to the Maryland Health Connection, the team is expected to assist during a six-month enrollment period that begins on Oct. 1, a few weeks into the start of the NFL season. The partnership is intended “to connect with Maryland residents about the importance of developing a health coverage game plan.”

One more reason to hate those scumbags!
Yep, anything for money.
I’m not surprised at all, given that Modell (and some others) hoodwinked Cleveland to get that team to Baltimore.
It’s lies all the way down from the team to the law that they promote.
Go Broncos...
I already hate these bastards so what else is new? But no worries, cause’ you gotta wait to know those Freeper Raven ass-slurpers are gonna defend the team...any second now.
You beat me to it.
From Superbowl champs to contemptible socialized medicine-peddling fungi...quite a fall.
One additional tax I would love to implement would be a 75% Entertainment tax, targeting Hollywood actors/actresses, professional athletes & entertainers (TV, comedians, singers). They love liberalism so much and higher taxes for you & me.... let’s just tax the hell out of them with a 75% entertainment tax.
Yeah, that’s what we need: a bunch of rich, low-life, ghetto criminals telling us what’s good for us.
The Ravens just sank to the bottom of the NFL in my opinion. I mean, even lower than the Raiders! ;-)
Everyone should boycott the NFL, go to no games, do not watch on TV.
Fat chance of conservatives doing that, hell I’ll bet Rush will continue to watch the games too.
Conservatives feed their enemy and give them money, and buy their products so they can the destroy our country.
By and large conservatives are a bunch of lazy blowhards who stand up for NOTHING. Of course there are some exceptions.
Bump for truth.
Those that listen to state-run-media portraying Modell as the villain have no clue.
Baltimore Ravens....now dead as a meaningful team!!!! Morons!!!

I have no respect for any football fans that kept watching after they were running around in their breat-cancer pink; if that didn’t say it all, what could?
The Super Bowl is a few miles from my house next year; they’re hoping for a boost because nobody around here has any disposable income anymore. The Giants breezed through a THIRTY YEAR waiting list for season tickets after building their new stadium.
Football tickets, like so many other things (brand-name groceries, eating take-out), are so 2007.
Thanks for the bump...
