The Super Bowl is on Fox Sports this year...mind you, this is "supposed" to be Fox Sports... NOT fucking Fox Racist Propaganda.
Fucking Sean fucking Hannity is interviewing Donnie Shit for Brains as part of the pregame for the Super Bowl.
One racist POS interviewing another racist POS during the largest national sporting event in the country... played by a majority of people of color.
You have got to be shitting me!
Maybe they can call kneeling players son's of bitches.
It's fucking bad enough that this fucking shit is normalized on 1,200 Hate Radio stations around the country, but to put this disgusting POS Hannity in front of millions of sports fans, as if he's some fucking normal "journalist" is fucking beyond the pale.
Fuck the NFL!
Fuck Fox Sports!
Fuck Faux News!
Fuck Hannity and Donnie Dollhands
And
Fuck the NFL players for NOT calling this fucking travesty out.

His brain-dead 40% arent relevant; they are never going to change their minds. But a lot of casual voters never see him at rallies, and dont watch news or read a lot about it, so I think it is good when they see how unhinged and hateful he is, and how much trouble he has in conveying even a simple concept.

(182,826 posts)A normal NFL game has a 12 minute halftime. This used to be 15.
The longer halftime really messes up the players. As Belichik once said You play one game, take a long break, then play a second game. On top of the unusual 6pm start this really mucks up the normal prep and staying warmed up schedules.

I ike the redskins uniforms( but HATE the name_ ) and don't like the cowboys uniforms- or ther name or the owner or that former quarter backj..

druidity33
(6,446 posts)it's just irregular. All teams have an occasional Late game on Sunday or if they're lucky enough to get the Monday night football exposure, that usually starts at 8 eastern. Now there is Thursday night football and games in England that start at 9AM... times are all over the place.
underpants
(182,826 posts)For a vast majority of their games. That's what I'm saying.
druidity33
(6,446 posts)the game has changed in the last 10-15 years. Teams can expect most of their games to be during the daytime. But nowadays that means around 60-65%. That's not a "vast majority", that's just better than half. Especially with popular teams or matchups when they are bumped to primetime, which is becoming unfortunately more acceptable. As an early morning worker with small kids, believe me I HAVE BEEN NOTICING how much more games are pushed to afternoon/evening. They can get more market share by spreading it all out... The old "all games are on Sunday at 1" is dead and gone.

Nowadays, more people have discovered this is a great night to go out and do anything other than the Super Bowl, so you no longer have the town to yourself. Still, its a good time to get out of the house. If nothing else, you see what other people dont give a flying fuck about the S.B.

Guess I better google, what do do during the superbowl for suggestions.

(46,051 posts)If so, he might break down and blather...call "origins" "oranges" or something.
It might seem impossible, but there are probably millions of people in this country (including those who didn't vote last time) who have no idea he's a racist POS who's losing his mind to dementia. If he fucks up, in front of all of America, he might drive many of those millions to the polls.
BTW, the players have no control over this. Remember what happened to Colin Kaepernik? If I were them, I'd want to keep my job. I also doubt the NFL has much control over what Fox puts on at half-time. Of course, they could refuse to use Fox next time.
I'm still watching the game. I'll just turn it off at half-time.

Seriously though, this should count as a campaign contribution to Trump. At half a million for a 30 second spot, this is a multi million dollar donation of free good publicity to Trump.

However, Murdoch sold Fox Sports to Disney a couple of years ago. Here's Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_Sports
Trump's campaign bought the ad time, I believe. Would you object if the game and interview were on CBS or NBC?
I hate Trump. I also hate the Super Bowl. I won't be watching either and I plan to skip the SOTU.
But let's keep our targets focused. In this battle, Disney isn't the enemy.
maxrandb
(15,332 posts)It's all Corporate Media BS.
It's not Ad time that Donnie Shit for Brains bought... it's an interview on Fox Sports!
Historically, it's been a President being interviewed by a "journalist". Obama did one with Bill O'Reilly because Obama's not a coward.
Fox Sports made a choice to have Hannity. If Donnie Dollhands demanded Hannity, then you have to have the courage to take a hard pass, or you're complicit.
If I were the DNC, I'd prefer pay to run 30 second ads of the most disgusting, racist crap Hannity has broadcast.
I'm willing to bet Fox Sports wouldn't allow those ads to run.
It's bullshit, and anyone associated with it, including the NFL, should be called on it.
