All the members of Congress should be part of the NFL. I’ve watched two warring factions–management and/or referees and/or players–hold onto their stubborn stands for awhile. Finally, both sides come to realize that they’ve been causing hardship, turmoil, financial woes, and potential harm to the game and all people involved with it, plus unpopularity toward themselves. They see that the people are upset, believing that both sides are being pig-headed and unreasonable.
Sort of like what goes on and on and on in our nation’s legislature.
But unlike our warring lawmakers, the NFL and referees have shown that can come to a settlement. They can meet in the middle. It isn’t a compromise of values (listen up, Dems and Reps) but a realization that reasonable people will disagree, and all views must be taken under consideration if the greater good for the people is to be achieved.
If our lawmakers were part of the NFL, then, I’d hope they’d be dragged into a state of reason–or be benched if they didn’t cooperate.
