Pigskin trumps politics in Wisconsin

As Americans, we love football. Especially the NFL. Meanwhile, we hate politics. Especially the race for President. So if we had to choose between football and politics, we would choose the NFL hands down. It appears people will have that choice later this year, when two of the presidential debates will conflict with NFL games. The Commission on Public Debates has scheduled matchups between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton for Monday, September, 26, and Sunday, October 9. There are NFL games being played, and televised nationally, on both of those dates at the same time. One of them is the Packers game when they play the Giants. What channel do you think Cheeseheads will be watching? Donald Trump is crying foul, claiming Hillary Clinton hates the NFL. But the fact is, the debate schedule was set a year ago, well before this year’s NFL schedule was announced. There may be some who will be torn whether to watch the presidential debate or the Packers, but I’m guessing most would be glad to turn their attention from politics to the pigskin. Or they could always set their DVR.
