NFL and Obamacare: Will fans go on strike?


Conservatives view Obamacare as
fiscal train wreck
According to a recent article on twitchy.com HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius plans to use the NFL for promoting Obamacare leaving some conservatives to voice their objections on twitter.

In an article the site remarked that Obama had earlier mentioned the NBA as a vehicle for promoting national healthcare, but Sebelius it appears wants gridiron action to push her enrollment message.

Sebelius was quoted in an article from The Hill stating, "We're having active discussions right now with a variety of sports affiliates" about both paid advertising and partnerships to encourage enrollment.

All of this is part of an advertising and public relations palooza coming in the next few months as more aspects of Obamacare take effect in 2014.  At the same time conservatives are continuing their stance on the economic issues facing Americans when another massive entitlement program takes place.

A recent meme photograph on social media perhaps sums up the opposition of Obamacare and its highly objectionable, long-term economic effects expected by conservatives.  Meanwhile it looks like Monday Night Football and the NFL just opened up the door to politics, and perhaps a strike of a different kind:  players in - viewers out.
