See Dick. See Dick Durbin. See Dick Durbin continue to do dumb things. (With one hand tied behind back):
Democratic Sens. Dick Durbin (Ill.) and Frank Lautenberg (N.J.) called on the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the Orange Bowl Committee on Thursday to cancel a sponsorship from Camacho Cigars for the event.
“Tobacco has no place in sports, and the promotion of cigars at the Orange Bowl sends the wrong message to young fans,” the senators wrote in a letter. “[C]amacho Cigars’ sponsorship is at odds with the NCAA rules prohibiting tobacco use by student athletes and all game personnel in any form at practice and in competitions.”
There is no word yet on whether the NCAA wil consider the senators’ request.
It’s part of Dick’s hell-for-leather trying to make private companies bend to governmental will. What a fellow he is!
