His rival Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, a Tabasco native who champions the poor and downtrodden, claims Calderon fixed the election and tours the country calling himself the "legitimate president...

The union, which is expected to work with management to provide for veterans who built the league, will simply not dole out the dough. Why in such a lucrative industry, do the heroes of America’s greatest game have to live in agony and poverty? Some, like former Jaguars guard Brian DeMarco, have been homeless.
