Today on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives, Rep. Brian Higgins (D-NY) called for the NFL to change its blackout policy. ”Last year almost half of the Buffalo Bills’ home games were blacked out – this is unacceptable,” said Congressman Higgins. “When economic times are tough, working families may not have the resources to purchase tickets, but they should not be punished and denied the opportunity to turn on the television and see their hometown team, especially when its stadium has been supported through their tax dollars.  This is a matter of fan fairness.”

Way to go, Rep. Higgins! A true advocate for sports fans.
