Fans were upset after President Obama “interrupted” NFL Sunday Night Football.
On Sunday, the White House announced a special oval address at 8 PM. The focus of the President Obama speech was to ease American’s fears about ISIS following the tragic shootings in San Bernadino this week. The timing of the address was the same time as Sunday Night Football as the second wave of NFL games draw to a close. Moreover, the Sunday Night game would not start until after Obama was finished.
Needless to say, many people were pissed off and upset that Obama cut into their game watching experience.
I can’t even sit and listen to Barack Obama talk anymore. I just can’t. Give me football.

Obama to interrupt Sunday Night Football to talk about gun control. I’d rather watch a thousand Buick commercials

If Obama could get off my TV so that I can watch football that’d be great. ?
