Subject: BS: A Proposal on State Budget Woes...
Well, well, well...

Seems that almost all of the states are suffering from serious budgetary woes and, like Virginia may soon be doing, cutting funds for public education... The firet things that will get the ax will be the afterschool programs that involve a brain... You know, like the German Club or the Chess Club... Student to teacher ratios will also increase and SOLs (Standard of Learning) tets will be watered down to meet the new crop of students... Everything will be cut, except...

...football!?!?!?????...

Why not footbal??? It costs billions and billions of doallars every year and what do we get from it??? Concusssions, broken bones, pissed off and sometimes drunken dads in thre bleachers acting like Charlie Manson... I mean, let's get real here... If we collectively think that part of the US ever again being competitive in the global economy wouldn't it make more sense to cut the billions that go into football and spend it on, ahhhhhhh, education??? Duhhhhh...

(But then where would you get all the pro football players, BOberdz??? And how about college football???)

Well, ya' wouldn't!!!

Think about it!!!

B~

p.s. And I am a faithful Washington Redskins fan and played football in high school... No matter... Times is tough, ain't they???
