"Directing"?

I noticed this as well.  Also, it's not Congress's job to make sure folks can watch their Pac-12 football.  Though I realize those three likely represent a lot of Pac-12 fans so they're at least doing something their constituents (ostensibly) want.

directing was used by the author of the article, the actual letter said

we request that you work in good faith to resolve whatever issues remain quickly so that the more than four million DirectTV subscribers in our seven states, and countless other Pac-12 fans across the country, can enjoy watching their teams and alma maters on DirectTV.

At least they actually did something:  write a letter (or more likely some staffers did.). Let's just hope they don't have a Committee investigate.  Would be years.  No, best course is Executive Order, with funds from FEMA to both sides.  And any Unions either side is involved with.  Then, back to the real business of the Senate.
