The NFL Party Poopers

A church down in Indy wants to have a Super Bowl party. They are going to show the game with a projection screen TV. "Oh no you don't," says the NFL. The policy dictates that mass showings of the game can only be shown on a screen no more than 55 inches big. Way to go NFL! Way to squash that local team spirit!

The pastor of the church says they'll abide by the law, but is frustrated because now the only place to see the game with a large crowd would be at bars, which he states are obviously not appropriate places for children. Click here for the story.

Not sure what the NFL is worried about. The church I used to attend used to show the game on a large projection screen (to a very large crowd). It was always a lot of fun. During the halftime, they would have a brief outreach oriented moment. To my knowledge, no wardrobe malfunctions ever took place.
