NFL Lawyers Put Super Bowl Party Organizers On Alert

• NFL tells churches planned Super Bowl parties violate copyright law
• WNBC-TV 7:42 p.m. EST February 4, 2007

NEW YORK - The NFL is known for running a tight ship to protect the brand and protect the lucrative business of pro football. NFL lawyers even fired off a letter to an Indiana church, warning it not to stray out of bounds of copyright laws with its planned Super Bowl party, NewsChannel reported. Apparently, the church's television screen is too big. Who knew?

Depending upon what position it is, size does matter in the NFL. And apparently, at certain Super Bowl parties, the size of your television set matters,


Let me get this straight. The owners of the airwaves, the roads, the police and the cities that these team play in are out of line according to the NFL and any "Mass "out-of-home viewings,"" are forebidden. I say these owners better be counting their good luck and should not be bitting the hand that feeds it.

Congress needs to step and put the public's good first and foremost in the future plans of the NFL owners they have their own TV channel which is a slice of the public's spectrum. I can only hope that are next leader sticks up for people not companies. We are not ENGLAND.
