    Two Presidential Debates Held During NFL Games

    The preliminary debate schedule for the general election has been set since September, 2015, by the non-partisan Commission on Presidential Debates. The schedule includes a Monday, Sept. 26 debate, which goes up against a game between Atlanta Falcons and the New Orleans Saints, and a Sunday night debate on Oct. 9 that will air concurrently with an NFL game between the Green Bay Packers and the Carolina Panthers.

    How hard is it to figure out to do these on a Tuesday or Wednesday night? I know that Tivo exists, and that Direct TV gives you "the power to turn back time", but both events are something that I would really like to see live, especially the Panthers-Packers game.

    They had to get colleges because universities usually will pay to host the events. Where as an arena wants to make money. Just what I heard and it could be wrong.

    MrKLC,

    You are at a sports gambling forum. I can't imagine you are even considering watching a debate over an NFL game.

    Even if there was no NFL game I would watch reruns of The Dukes of Hazard over debates.

    Debates are meaningless. They do not provide any useful information to a voter. If you are a Republican and your candidate flops at the debate you are not going to vote Democrat and vice versa.

    Sure they will. But you are going to be watching the NFL game with $500 on the line.

    A quick look at the 2012 debate schedule shows they had two
    on a Wednesday and Tuesday.

    Make no mistake, this change was intentional to favor Mrs. Blythe.

    All it takes is a few operatives on the committee to ram it through.

    If we can get some debate props, watching the games will be unnecessary !

    America the only country in the world where a regular season football game is more important than debates that may decide the country's fate.

    I love AMERICA

    Not sure why Sept. 26th couldn't have been 27th or 28th. Oct. 9th unavoidable though. After Columbus Day it's Yom Kippur.

    But both parties negotiated and agreed to these dates a year ago. Why is this an issue now?

    I'm just thankful I won't have to watch that Falcons/Saints game. Matt Ryan is tough to watch. At his very very best he is mediocre. At his worst he's on a par with Geno Smith.

    I love all the people who think that Trump is trying to find a way to get out of the debates. The guy does several debates against different combinations of 16 other candidates (That were not held on Saturday nights by the way). He does press conference after press conference, but he's afraid to debate Hillary? Yeah, whatever.

    I think Cuban is right and Trump has just gone bat---- crazy


    DONALD TRUMP: Well, I'll tell you what I don't like. It's against two NFL games. I got a letter from the NFL saying, "this is ridiculous why are the debates against," because the NFL doesn't want to go against the debates.

    An NFL spokesperson denied that league officials sent Trump a letter, "While we'd obviously wish the debate commission could find another night, we did not send a letter to Trump."

    Who cares. You have a complete moron with a big mouth running against a diseased ridden c**t who would sell her daughter and grand children to become president. Putin will roll over either one of them. Let's just hope that no war starts during the season.
