Altmire's football career

Michael, I am disappointed by this report, and if you have the integrity and intelligence of a true conservative, you will modify it. In your opinion, apparently, we are to base our understanding of what it means to be on a team from a movie? Anyone who played college sports, as I did, knows that anyone who practices and works out with the team is considered by everyone that matters, as part of the team. I wrestled at Penn State, and I know for a fact that the practice squad players on the football team were referred to by the other coaches and players as "part of the team". Furthermore, those practice squad and non-scholarship players are very often some of the most important and appreciated parts of a winning team. The workouts and time they put in are just as hard, if not harder, than the starters because they are getting hit by the future pro's and All-Americans. Now, I don't know if Congressman Altmire actually participated on the practice squad, but if he did, he was part of the team. Any insinuation of anything else is an insult to every athlete who participates in this very important and honorable endeavor.
