Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy Attacked The NFL On the Senate Floor About Saints No-Call

If Cassidy wants to be serious, he can draft legislation that disallows new owners the ability to write off nearly all of the purchase price of their teams against profits over 15 years. Owners are realizing hundreds of millions of tax benefits off of this 2004 tax law tweak.

Never mind discussing our deplorable roads or crime. Let’s waste time bitching about a game.

One host on a Sports Talk Radio station said politicians, Saints officials and Saints fans were making "fools" out of their selves for demanding Goodell respond in some manner to the blown call. This host said that Goodell owes the Saints and it's fans nothing. This is BS! Goodell is the commissioner of the NFL and it is his responsibility to make sure games are officiated with integrity. It is his responsibility to make officials accountable for their actions or in this case, non action. Goodell has literally wiped his butt with the Saints, the Saints fans and the entire state of Louisiana. He did so when he suspended Sean for an entire year for NOTHING. The Bounty Gate did not bring about anything illegal, Goodell just used us to deflect his and the NFL's responsibility for players and the concussion issue. Now he is doing it again. He owes us, he owes all fans, he owes a league of integrity. The fans made the NFL what it is today! So yes, he does owe us, he owes all fans!

Let. It. Go.

1 big reason why the Government temporarily opened for 3 weeks is bc of the Super Bowl. So yea the NFL is a big deal and Goodell, Vegas, or whoever is ruining the product. Everything is becoming corrupt...

And the clown car named Washington DC rolls along. Our politicians aren’t serious people. They’re clowns. They’re hacks. And they’re weak.

His brother played football for LSU way back when... Go Billy!

Good grief,he comes across as such an unlikeable weasel, it almost makes you wanna side with the refs.... not doing us any favors.

Where was he when Bountygate happened?

Cassidy = flag kneeler for life.

I'm voting for him in next election though.

Longest government shutdown in history and he wants to talk about a football game?

Those fruitcake politicians don't give a damn about football.

Washington DC I have a message for you. Im bringing my broom because you know why? Its a mess!!

Embarrassing

fricking moron. This shite is why the country is so fricked up and the government was shut down. Get the country operational and the go tell you constituents how they were screwed. Don’t waste time talking sports when people are going without pay.

Nothing more than pandering. And trashy.

Bravo Senator! Make Goodell squirm. The Saints were robbed in broad daylight!

I for one don't care about politicians commenting about the sport teams of their state. Comes across as nothing but pandering.
