Last week, news broke that President Obama might be looking to the NBA to help him peddle his disastrous health care policy. Now comes word that HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is chatting up the NFL to score a similar promotional deal:
No. RT @amandacarpenter: Sebelius says she is in talks with the NFL to form partnership to promote Obamacare http://t.co/D61ihO6HDj

From The Hill:
Sebelius said the football league has been “very actively and enthusiastically engaged” in discussions about a partnership to encourage people to enroll in newly available insurance plans.
“We’re having active discussions right now with a variety of sports affiliates” about both paid advertising and partnerships to encourage enrollment, Sebelius told reporters.
The president is no longer content to just spike the football or punt? He has to shove it down our throats, too? Tweeters are calling a major fumble:

Being a Jets fan is bad enough. Don't know how I'll cope if I have to watch pro-Obamacare propaganda during NFL games.

@nfl If you enter political arena re: Obamacare, be prepared to see a mass exodus of support. #dumbmove

@JoyKeller1 @bobmeyer667 If the NFL backs Obamacare, they can kiss this season goodbye.

Obamacare prefers slow death, actually.
Talks underway with #NFL to shove that shit sandwich Obamacare further down our throats. Now he's going to ruin watching sports on TV. #fb
