It appears as though the National Football League has decided to give churches the same Super Bowl exemption that bars enjoy.
In a letter to legislative leaders, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has reversed a previously controversial stand by the league and is now going to allow churches to show the Super Bowl on large-screen televisions.
The league had recently pointed out that churches would be in violation of its broadcast copyright by showing the championship game (or any other NFL game for that matter) on TVs with screens larger than 55 inches. The policy was widely criticized because sports bars are allowed to show the games on big screens.
As Sister Lucy Tedrick recently pointed out, "Wise men change their minds, fools never do."
The NFL has made a good decision. To read more go to ESPN.COM or click on this link http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3256621
