Continuing our sports tie-ins today. Let’s say the character in this picture is “John McCain,” & the person holding the ball is “the NFL.”
It looks like -for one night, at least- the NFL will compete for the attention of some of the voters John McCain is counting on in the fall.
The league has scheduled its first game of the season on September 4th.
Why’s that a problem?
It’s the same night that McCain will accept his party’s nomination for president.
Not to mention the fact that it’s the Giants vs the Redskins. Big game.
The NFL has scheduled a start that’s 90 minutes earlier because of the convention.
Still, as Johnathan Martin at Politico puts it, “Republicans can’t be happy about what will inevitably distract attention from the penultimate night of their convention.”
