Petition for replay AFC title game with Colts, Ravens has 40K signatures
By Jared Dubin | CBSSports.
On January 21, a Baltimore man named Scott Latshaw posted a petition on Change.org seeking to disqualify the New England Patriots from the Super Bowl and replay the AFC Championship between the two teams they eliminated in the playoffs, the Baltimore Ravens and the Indianapolis Colts. Six days later, that petition has over 40,000 signatures.
It reads as follows:
To maintain the legitimacy of this year's NFL Championship the Patriots should be immediately disqualified and the two teams they beat to advance should be allowed to continue with the playoff process. The AFC championship should be replayed to determine a rightful representative for the AFC in this year's Super Bowl.
Within a day, the petition had already gained 25,000 signatures, so it does appear to be losing some steam. It's at 40,866 right now with a goal of 50,000. Latshaw also appears to agree with Jerry Rice that the Super Bowl should have an asterisk next to it if the Patriots win, and posted the following message on the petition's page when it reached the 25,000 plateau:
Thanks Everyone !!!! With over 25,000 signatures we are now the #1 Petition on Change. org. Do we really want a Super Bowl Champion with an asterisk??? If we had stopped Barry Bonds or Lance Armstrong at the onset, think how much better things would be. Let's do the right thing this time. Let's keep sports clean for future generations. If you haven't signed it yet please sign it now! and then SHARE IT !!!!!!!!!
One is left wondering which things would actually be better, and by how much, if Barry Bonds and/or Lance Armstrong were stopped at the onset of their performance enhancing drug use.
