Monday Night Football at City Hall


While most folks were at a 9/11 Memorial, some in City Hall were offered Football as an option (as was contemplated by Lisa Brenner of the LAist). One City Hall insider let us know about a Monday Night Football party that Councilmember Parks was having in City Hall.

Perhaps it was because he's determined to bring the NFL to the City of Los Angeles that his office hosted a viewing party tonight in City Hall in the "Media Room" starting at 4pm. Then, a second game would be on at 7:15pm. I'm all for inter-office team building, but maybe it should be done at a private venue and not in City Hall? And even moreso, it was the 5th anniversary of the tragic events of September 11, 2001 - was this the best way to commemorate that fateful day?

Maybe Parks was taking the "If we don't watch Monday Night Football, then the terrorists win" approach to memorialising the events of 9-11?

Is it really still called the media room or has Mr. Parks changed it to the "Rose Room"?

Bernie Parks can't even bring the NFL to our cable tv's! How is he ever going to bring the NFL to Los Angeles?

No, we don't want Bernie Parks to bring the NFL Network to our TV's, not if it means jacking up everyone's cable bills for a handful of games that very few people will watch.

Bernie Parks, Get Real!
