NBA or NFL?

This email is making the rounds. I’m breaking one of my arbitrary rules here, but it’s too good to pass up. And yes, there is a personal finance angle in it.

EDIT: Thanks to an anonymous commenter, the veracity has been proved at Snopes.com. But what does that say about us for wanting to believe it?

NBA OR NFL?

36 have been accused of spousal abuse

7 have been arrested for fraud

19 have been accused of writing bad checks

117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses

3 have done time for assault

71, repeat, 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit

14 have been arrested on drug-related charges

8 have been arrested for shoplifting

21 currently are defendants in lawsuits, and

84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year

Can you guess which organization this is?

NBA or NFL ?

Give up yet? . . .

Neither, it’s the 535 members of the United States Congress.

The same group of Idiots that crank out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line.

You gotta pass this one on!
AND THEY JUST VOTED THEMSELVES $15,000 PER MONTH PENSION FOR LIFE AFTER SERVING ONLY ONE TERM IN CONGRESS!!
