Speak up, Bears fans

Republican state Rep Tom Cross is sponsoring a resolution to honor Brett Favre.
Bears fans complained when the Register Star gave a lot of space to the Packers last season. How do you feel about Illinois honoring one of the greatest Packers to play the game?
I’d consider such a resolution IF the state could pay its bills on time, had a decent budget, a plan to reduce the deficit, a capital program, etc. etc. etc.
Bottom line: Illinois lawmakers have more important things to do than honor someone else’s quarterback.

“Sports is another crucial example of the indoctrination system . . . It offers people something to pay attention to that is of no importance . . . It keeps them from worrying about things that matter to their livs that they might have an idea of something about . . . People have the most exotic information and understanding about all sorts of arcane issues . . . It’s a way of building up irrational attitudes of submission to authority, and group cohesion behind leadership elements, in fact its training in irrational jingoism . . . That’s why energy is devoted to supporting them . . . and advertisers are willing to pay for them.”
– Noam Chomsky, from the documentary film, Manufacturing Consent
