Impressive argumentation.
But do realize how many skeletons Ditka has in his closet. The media and the RATS would have a field day.
He was more than a few DUI's, he left his 1st wife when he was a Cowboy for his 2nd when he met her in a bar - she was a cocktail waitress. Then there's his kids from his 1st marriage, which by all reports (as I recall) he has not exactly treated kindly.
All this mean s zero in sports, but running for the Senate, he'd be toast. That's why I think it would be ridiculous for him to run, as all his personal life's antics would all come out.
