NBA, NHL or NFL?

I received this in my inbox. Generally I tire of these forwards, but the end of this one upset me so I figured I'd post it...

NBA, NHL, OR NFL?

36 have been accused of spousal abuse

7 have been arrested for fraud

19 have been accused of writing bad checks

117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses

3 have done time for assault

71, repeat 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit

14 have been arrested on drug-related charges

8 have been arrested for shoplifting

21 currently are defendants in lawsuits
and

84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year

Can you guess which organization this is?
NBA, NHL or NFL ?

Give up yet? . . .
Scroll down,


NONE,
it's the 535 members of the United States Congress. The same group of idiots that crank out hundreds of new laws each yeardesigned to keep the rest of us in line.

You gotta pass this one on!

AND THEY JUST VOTED THEMSELVES A $15,000 PER MONTH PENSION FOR LIFE AFTER SERVING ONLY ONE TERM IN CONGRESS !!!

I dislike politicians because they are so insincere. They act as if they have a noble cause and they represent the working class, but they make gross amounts of money during and after their terms. The dollar is at an all-time low and gas costs $4.09 a gallon in San Diego and now each Congressmen gets $15,000/month for life. No wonder our economy sucks. Talk about a drain on the system. So much for serving the country.

Abuse of powers? Discussion about how the system does not work perfectly. Maybe these are things that are above the 5th grade level. I'm sure your parents want their kids believing they live in utopia and santa clauss will bring them whatever they ask for for xmas.
