22. The sentiment of not mixing politics and sports...

is perfectly admirable. But if my memory serves me correctly, the NFL kicked off their season last year with a concert on the Washington mall. Britney Spears(Pepsi spokesperson, hmm...) was the headliner.

The event was called "Operation Tribute to Freedom" and was supposed to be a concert for 5,000 military personnel. Maybe they could have used the money for the event for some gear for our soldiers like, for example, those kevlar vests that seemed to be in short supply. The whole thing sure seemed like a great way to put our nation's capitol to use.
