Obg, we have had our disagreements in the past (and I still question your assertion that you are just a common sense guy given your assumption that the Obama dinners are chosen by lottery, but that's a different story [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]) but that is a very good letter. Here's mine:

Dear Mr. Goodell,

As a lifetime fan of the Chicago Bears, the NFL has meant a lot to me. The games offered one of the few bonding opportunities I had with my father.

I understand however that you are lobbying Congress to take away a freedom that is very important to me. That freedom is playing poker online from the comfort of my home. The NFL was instrumental in getting legislation passed last year which made playing poker more difficult, and you are now lobbying against well-meaning liberterian members of Congress who are trying to reinstate our ability to play poker online.

I have been a subscriber to NFL Season Ticket since I no longer live in the Chicago area. I have chosen not to renew my membership this year due to your lobbying efforts to prevent me from playing poker in the comfort of my own home. In fact I will make sure not to contribute any revenue to your organization until you distinguish between your dislike for sports betting and my ability to play online poker.

Respectfully,

whangarei
