Churches can show Super Bowl, but only for free - UPDATE

When we reported on the NFL's crackdown on Super Bowl church gatherings a few days ago, many of you commented that the league's policy -- no large gatherings to watch the game if the screen is 55" or above -- was a bunch of what Col. Potter used to call "horsehockey," especially when it came to places of worship.It seems like the league got the message... sort of. According to WorldNetDaily, the NFL has no objections to churches holding these large-screen gatherings, as long as no admission is charged (because you know how those little churches like to make wicked profits from games like this).

Here's another reason why everyone calls the NFL the "No Fun League"...The league is cracking down on any mass-viewings of the Super Bowl that is brought to their attention, including parties that charge admission -- get this -- any gathering that views the game on a TV that's 55" or above, whether admission is charged or not.
