Arlen Agonistes
Even non-football fans know something of the saga of Philadelphia's wide receiver Terrell Owens, who basically complained his way into being suspended for the rest of this NFL season.
Well, Senator Arlen Specter (Rhino-PA) has found time to make a federal case out of Owens' suspension:
"It's a restraint of trade for them to do that, and the thought crosses my mind, it might be a violation of antitrust laws," Specter said. ... "I do not believe, personally, that it is appropriate to punish him (by forcing him to sit out the rest of the season). He's not committed a crime, he's committed a breach of contract. And what they're doing against him is vindictive."
Question of the day: which is worse, Specter's legal reasoning or his grandstanding?
