MIAMI - The Who are currently scheduled to perform at the 2010 Super Bowl in Miami Dolphin Stadium but it now appears that it may not happen.
A spokesperson for a group calling itself The International We R Watching U Fella has uncovered the fact that Who guitarist Pete Townsend was convicted of being a sex offender and sex offenders are prohibited from entering the United States.
The lead guitarist for the Who stated that he was convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude. When asked to elaborate the 'windmill stroking' guitarist said that he was charged with 'Net Peeking.'
Townsend's barrister (attorney) Fleming Farkenshire stated "The matter is actually quite trivial as it only involved roughly about 8,000 or so photos, hardly anything compared to the 19,000 photos that a Mr. Lysander Curdweight from Chippenham was charged with or even the 37,000 that a Mr. Basil Flappham, III, of Canterbury was charged with.
A spokesperson for the NFL Arcadio Tillafeeni stated that they will be looking closely into the matter. He did state off the record that several years ago one of the halftime performers was later found to have served 17 years in Sing Sing Prison for extortion, money laundering, kidnapping, and illegally transporting a half dozen prostitutes across the New Hampshire state line into Massachusetts.
And the NFL is trying to really keep the lid on the fact that last year, one of Bruce Springsteen's band members reportedly has a second cousin who used to date one of Al Qaeda's top operatives in Delaware.
In a related story. Tillafeeni has stated that he has already contacted Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young about possibly filling in if the Who are in fact banned from performing at Super Bowl XLIV.
