Fire Arizona Cardinals Bribing Politicians

Bill Bidwill's franchise loves politicians.

The Arizona Cardinals decided if you can't beat 'em, buy, 'em. According to the Arizona Republic, the Cardinals gave free tickets to state lawmakers between 2006-2009 in order to get preferential treatment from the Arizona Legislature over stadium-sharing issues with the Fiesta Bowl. Even if the practice has stopped, the Cardinals and the politicians who took tickets should be fired.

We know the Fiesta Bowl is about as corrupt as a sports organization can be this side of FIFA, and apparently the Cardinals felt the need to keep up with the scumbag Joneses after the legislature sided with the Fiesta Bowl several times at the expense of the Cardinals.

The bottom line is pretty obvious on this one but when adults misbehave even though they know better, they have to be treated like kindergartners. To the politicians - don't take bribes. To the Cardinals - don't bribe politicians, and also don't forget the first rule of bribes: don't talk about the bribes (they did). Hopefully we've all learned something from this incident, but probably not. Either way, the Cardinals should be fined by the NFL and politicians who take bribes should be removed form office.
