The NFL is one of the few (very few) instances in which Reaganomics/Bushonomics makes sense. At least based on current league policy. Dig:

-Bush cuts taxes for the top 2%
-The top 2% can afford NFL tickets
-The top 2% go to the game
-The game sells out
-The blackout policy is lifted
-The bottom 98% can watch the game on tv

Anywhere else, on the other hand...
