From Crooks and Liars
[...] Senate thugs Mitch McConnell and John Cornyn issued an edict to
sports organizations: If you help the administration promote Obamacare,
we will destroy your reputation. Or something. Via TPM:
The
letters, dated June 27, warn the chiefs of the National Football League,
Major League Baseball, National Basketball Association, National Hockey
League, Professional Golf Association and NASCAR that partnering with
the administration to publicize the benefits of the health care law
would damage their reputations.
Not content to leave it there, they went on:
We
have long been concerned by the Obama Administration's record of using
the threat of policy retaliation to solicit support for its policies or
to silence its critics. Should the administration or its allies suggest
that there will be any policy consequence for your decision not to
participate in their outreach efforts, we urge you to resist any such
pressure and to contact us immediately so that we may conduct
appropriate oversight.
