NFL Sacks McCain
The poor guy can’t buy a break:
The NFL announced today that the 2008 season will kick-off on Thursday, Sep. 4th – the same night McCain is set to accept the GOP nomination at the convention in the Twin Cities.
Per ESPN, the game will start 90 minutes earlier because of the convention.
But given that it pits the world champion New York Giants versus America’s team, the Washingotn Redskins, Republicans can’t be happy about what will inevitably distract attention from the penultimate night of their convention.
Of course, one could make the point that those who would watch a convention nomination speech wouldn’t be watching football to begin with, and vice versa.
