College football is for commies

« on: May 01, 2009, 09:43:56 AM »

WASHINGTON (AP) - A congressman who wants to see college football adopt a playoff system is comparing the Bowl Championship Series to communism.

Republican Rep. Joe Barton of Texas said Friday that efforts to tinker with the BCS are bound to fail. He told a House hearing that the BCS is like communism and can't be fixed.

Barton has introduced legislation that would prevent the NCAA from labeling a game a national championship unless it's the outcome of a playoff system.

The coordinator of the Bowl Championship Series told the panel that a playoff system would threaten the existence of celebrated bowl games. Fans, President Barack Obama and some lawmakers favor a playoff system.

What is it with republican congressmen comparing everything to communism when a fascism comparison is more apt. Fascism is nationalist. Hence the National Championship. And fascism views one people more superior than another. Hence BCS conferences and Notre Dame.

Communism would seek to spread the benefit of championship potential over all peoples.

Further:

Since the laborers (players) are the ONLY people not getting paid, it's almost a perfect expression of Fascism defined as Capitol and Gubment controlling the workers...

LOL at this crap. Funny how congress would think that anything to do with sports, especially amateur sports, would be any of their concern. Just seems to me there's more pressing issues. Roll Eyes
