What he said
Except for the Bostonian part, who says ‘Bostonian’? Jeeez.
“As a Bostonian, I couldn’t be more pleased that in just five days, the New England Patriots will attempt to become the first NFL team in 35 years to finish the regular season with an undefeated record,” Kerry wrote. “But as someone who represents all of Massachusetts and not just those in the Boston media market, I remain deeply troubled that today as many as 250,000 Massachusetts households, and millions of Patriots fans nationwide, may be denied access to this historic sporting event. …
“For a game of this significance to be used as a bargaining chip or point of leverage between corporations locked in a dispute would say a great deal about the esteem in which America’s football fans are held by the big interests,” Kerry wrote.
Oh, and I love that someone sarcastically wrote that Kerry was tackling the “big” issues, but whenever there is something I want and I get it no matter how much money and Mexicans I am willing to throw at the problem, it’s usually because someone is violating a federal statute. And watching last Sunday’s Patriots games via mocking texts from KJ, who was up in Boston watching the game live, and trying to figure out espn’s gamecast, I’m just annoyed that my Senator is running for President instead of keeping me in the Patriots games to which I have been accustomed.

It was available in NYC already anyway. You wasted your influence, KJ.
