Comcast, Senator Team Up To Screw You
 |
As you may have read earlier, Specter wants to investigate the NFL for Spygate because he just loves fair sports so much and there hasn't been much else going on in Washington. Ha ha, that's just what ol' Arlen said, though, and I hope you knew it wasn't true since a politician said it.
Bunch writes that two of Specter's biggest donors are Comcast and lobbying firm Blank Rome, who lobbies for Comcast. Comcast, as you know, is in a war with the NFL over the NFL Network. (Isn't it cute when multi-million dollar corporations fight?) This is probably why Arlen Specter is angry about the NFL's exclusive deal with DirecTV, yet silent on Comcast SportsNet's refusal to sell the channel to satellite systems.
Basically, all it means is a politician is screwing you over. But you already knew that.
