Steelers to loose Super Bowl Trophies
Pittsburgh, PA
. The Super Bowl XLIII Champion Pittsburgh Steelers, the only team to win six titles, will soon be loosing half of those trophies. After a meeting between NFL Commissioner Rodger Gadel and President Barack Hussain Obama, Obama has decided to redistribute half of the Steeler Super Bowl victories and trophies to less fortunate teams in the league.
"We live everyday in the country that invented the Super Bowl." said Obama "We are not about to lose this Great American
tradition in the wake of these difficult times." Obama’s plan calls for the Steelers, who are a successful NFL team, to give half of their Super Bowl trophies to teams that are not successful or have not been as successful as the Steelers. "The Detroit Lions are just as much a part of the same fiber of the NFL as the Steelers and they should, no rather will, be entitled to a Super Bowl Trophy as well." Obama explains in his plan that he has imposed on Godel and the NFL.
The Pittsburgh Steelers, who by virtue of hard work, excellent team play, stellar draft choices, responsible investing of free agents, careful hiring of coaches, excellent community service and commitment to their fans, has prospered
greatly during the past 30 years and have won six Super Bowl Trophies. But President Barack Hussain Obama’s plan calls for the Pittsburgh Steelers to carry the larger burden of the NFL’s less successful teams. Obama went on to further proclaim, "In these difficult times we are all in this to work together. We must reclaim the NFL Championship Dream for every team, for every city, and for every fan."
"My plan will not affect 31 of the 32 teams in the league." Obama assures. That’s over 95 percent of the teams in the NFL will not have to worry about loosing any Super Bowl Trophies. "The worst teams in the NFL and the teams that can’t
seem to get a break and win a championship will no longer have to worry about going without a title." Obama promises. "We are a country and league of hope. We all need change. It does not matter the color of the teams uniforms, the personal decisions that the teams make or their performance but rather if they are a member of this great American league."
The Super Bowl XLIII trophy will be redistributed to the 0-16 Detroit Lions. Through no fault of their own incompetence, the Lions could not manage a victory all season and this trophy will help ease the pain of their lack of performance and give them hope once again.
The redistribution of Super Bowl XL trophy will go directly to the Steeler’s division rival the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals who also have fallen on hard times have never won a Super Bowl. This victory will bring a smile to hundreds of Bengal fans all over the world as they can now celebrate. Finally, one of the Steeler’s two Super Bowl victories over the Dallas Cowboys will go back to the Cowboys "since the league needs to provide hope in the face of difficulty and provide hope in the face of uncertainty," said Obama. "This is a heavy burden for the Steelers but together we can all prosper."

First of all.... its Hussein, not Hussain. Good God, you would think that since they insist on using the man's name as some kind of psuedo-slur they could at least spell it correctly.
And while we're at it, its Roger Goodell, not Gadel.
And this "joke" would have been a lot funnier if it wasn't for the fact that Obama is openly a Steelers fan and close friend and political ally to Dan Rooney, the owner of the team. Rooney was one of Obama's biggest campaign supporters and endorsers and presented a custom Steelers jersey to him at an Obama rally. He was rewarded by Obama for his help by being nominated as the next US Ambassador to Ireland.
Of course, a lot of Steeler haters could point out that the 4 Lombardi's won over 30 years ago were tainted by suspicions of widespread steroid use by the team. Or how a good portion of their Super Bowl success has been the product of dumb luck (Immaculate Reception), help from the refs (don't mention Super Bowl XL in the Seattle area), or the fact that they benefited from a season played without a healthy Tom Brady. But acknowledging such things tears down the myth of the team as a great tower of virtue.
Then again, why should we expect such nuance from someone who can't bother to spell Obama's middle name correctly?
I was quite amused by the spelling of "lose" and the fact that it starts with a period. It's posted here exactly as it arrived in the MRWD inbox; crazy paragraph breaks and all. And even if you couldn't spell "lose" (and you'd be surprised at how many people confuse "lose" and "loose"), wouldn't you look up Roger Goodell, etc.?
Crikey! Stupid and lazy!

Ah - the old repeated, non-accidental misspelling of "lose" as "loose." This is always a sure sign of a sharp mind.
Was the joke even funny - or clever?
@Dave,
"Look up" as in research? Its well known that facts like correct spelling have a well-known liberal bias.
