Default Nader backs T.O.

[ QUOTE ]
Ralph Nader, onetime presidential candidate and consumer advocate, has asked Eagles CEO Jeffrey Lurie and NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue to reconsider Terrell Owens' suspension.

In a letter to the football officials dated Nov. 10, Nader called Owens' comments boorish, but defended the receiver's right to speak.

"If the Eagles management declines to remedy its mistake, commissioner Tagliabue, you should intervene to overturn the team's decision, which dishonors this country's traditional respect for free speech and cheats fans of an opportunity to see arguably the best receiver in football.

"Let him play."

Nader signed the letter as founder of League of Fans, which he describes as a sports reform project.

"Fans have purchased tickets for Eagles' games, in Philadelphia and elsewhere, on the assumption that they will see one of the game's most exciting receivers, so long as he is healthy enough to play. The Eagles' action denies them this opportunity."

he also called for some sorta investigation into the officiating during the WCF between the lakers and kings a few years back (granted, the refereeing in that series was atrocious).

more importantly, he's one of the parties most culpable for george frickin' w. being president the last 5 years.

It's his right to run for president if he wants to, not really anyone else's business.

he called TO one of the most exciting receivers in football, and I would find it hard to believe that someone could possibly not think this.
