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.

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:

Doesn't matter, I won't be watching either one.

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.
