The NFL And The Vikings Seek Corporate Welfare From The People Of Minnesota

From Yahoo:

's latest stadium snag has the NFL publicly questioning the state's interest in keeping the Vikings, and league Commissioner Roger Goodell is concerned enough that he is coming for another visit.
Goodell and Pittsburgh Steelers owner Art Rooney will meet with legislative leaders and Gov. Mark Dayton at the Minnesota Capitol on Friday to urge progress on the struggling effort to build a new home for the Vikings. By a 9-6 vote, a House committee struck down a $975 million stadium bill on Monday, dealing a major blow to the team's decade-long effort to get taxpayer help for a Metrodome replacement.

Why should the people of Minnesota build the Vikings a new stadium?The NFL is a multi-BILLION dollar business,why can't they build the Vikings a new stadium?

What the NFL and the Vikings are trying to do is to extort a new stadium from the state of Minnesota.If Minnesota doesn't comply,the Vikings are threatening to move.I would hope that Gov. Dayton would tell,Roger Goodell and Obama sycophant,Art Rooney,'don't let the door hit ya,where the Good Lord split ya,but we are not building you a new stadium.'

'Tim Tebow Goes Hollywood'

I knew this was coming,but I'm still sad to see it come.Tim Tebow has hired a Hollywood agency,WME,"for endorsements,public appearances,speaking engagements,TV,film,books,the works -they will even help with his foundation."

Tim Tebow is more than just an athlete.he is an asset and he is seeking to profit from his fame,as he should.The kicker though,is its not just Tim Tebow that seeks to profit from his fame,but corporate America wants in on the action as well.As they invest into Tebow they will seek assurances from him to be less 'offensive.'They will seek to water down his Christianity and soften his moral stances,so he can appeal to more people and help their bottom line.

I sincerely hope Tim Tebow proves me wrong and resists the pressure that will be heaped upon him to change and be like Justin Bieber.But I know,with the amount of money that's going to come his way,the temptation to conform will be almost impossible to resist.
