I like the OT posts, but disagree with Joe...

I think we need more OT's! It's nice to see how people feel about things other than their trucks.
Though I do disagree with Joe.
The NFL is offering a product, which is how they make their money. The casinos are charging to televise it, which isn't far from what the TV networks do. Difference is, the networks pay Millions to the NFL for this right. While the fee to attend is minimal, it pales in comparison to the amount of money the party goers will spend in the casinos themselves. A casino isn't going to have a Super Bowl party if they don't see a huge payoff. Therefore, they are "using" the NFL for their profit without paying rights fees.
If you want to profit from someone elses product, you have to pay a fee
That's what copyright laws are for!
