NFL to open season on a Wednesday night to avoid Obama speech
By Chris Chase | Shutdown Corner – 5 hours ago

The NFL will begin its 2012 NFL season on a Wednesday night in order to avoid conflicting with President Obama's nominating speech at the Democratic National Convention.

Roger Goodell made the announcement that the regular season will begin Sept. 5, one day earlier than the traditional start on the first Thursday of the month. The defending Super Bowl champion New York Giants will host the opener.
It will be the league's first Wednesday game since 1948.

Big ****ing deal. I wonder if they'd do this for Republicans.

What a bunch of bullshit

This is the same organization that ditched Hank Jr. over some imagined slight against Obama, but had the whore Madonna that called President Bush Hitler play their Super Bowl halftime show.

Don't forget the "Arkansas You're number one" sign that was flashed.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

How egotistical of Obama...scheduling his acceptance speech for the first night of NFL football. I guess he knew the NFL would bow down to him though, feeding his ego even more.  :mad:
When Harry Truman was President of the United States, he had a sign on his desk in the White House that said: "The buck stops here." If Barack Obama had a sign on his desk, it would say: "The buck stops with Bush." - Thomas Sowell

Doesn't matter, I won't be watching either one.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

Avid NFL Fan here as you all know, but yeah, this is bullshit. I try not to mix my politicis, and football, but I read this yesterday, and wasn't happy. I personally would be interested to see which would be more watched. And I think I already know the answer.  :-)

Kim Jong Ill is dead, so we have a NEW "Dear Leader." The NFL is just sadly confirming how people will bow down.
