Hallelujah! NFL Backs off on Super Bowl Church Party Ban

Jan Novak, Associate Director jan.novak@law.csuohio.edu | February 22, 2008 - 11:40

According to reports in the Wall Street Journal Law Blog and the Washington Post, the NFL will permit churches to host big-screen viewings of the Super Bowl, beginning with next year’s game, bowing to Congressional pressure in the form of S. 2591, introduced on February 4, by Senator Arlen Specter. The bill would provide a copyright exemption to certain nonprofit organizations for displays of

“a performance of a professional football contest intended to be received by the general public, originated by a radio or television broadcast station licensed as such by the Federal Communications Commission, or if an audiovisual transmission, by a cable system or satellite radio, if `(i) no direct charge is made to see or hear the transmission or retransmission;`(ii) during the communication no money is accepted or received by the organization; and`(iii) the transmission or retransmission is not further retransmitted by the establishment where the transmission or retransmission is received.”

See prior post. Amen.
