Interesting. So apparently squawking about something CAN influence policy. Apparently being something other than a sheeple works. Whodda thunk it....
I seriously doubt this would have changed had no one complained about it. Conversely, it might have been the legal saber rattling going on, but who knows.
Odd that this came out on a Sunday night...with the pro-bowl on and everything.
