WTF! During Steelers vs Jets game in middle of the play they cut away to say that local reporter has interview w/Trump

[clutterbox1830]

I'm in the Pittsburgh area and was watching the Steelers vs Jets game. It's near the end of the game and Steelers are up 15pts and only ~2:30 minutes leftin the 4th quarter. Steelers are "milking the clock", however, during the middle of the play they (broadcast) immediately cut to a split screen and talks are how the local reporter from the NBC affiliate (WPXI) was able to talk/interview Trump during his last rally.
If you don't know sports broadcast, this stuff does not happen. You don't cut into the game and in the middle of a play no less to hock anything, let alone Trump. It almost looked like a Trump ad. This pissed me off even though the Steelers are going to win.

3. Ok... but that was a long time ago and I'll be pissed off too if I was born when that happened.

2. Steelers scored again with 26 sec left, so that faux pas is even bigger...

Maybe find the contact info for your local station and chew them out for it.

8. From what I read in another thread, that video was manipulated. That

chanting was for a navy seal who was being honoured. the orange anus was actuallyy booed.

5. During the game...

tRump was shown as a guest in one of the VIP boxes.... (((PUKE)))

I sense WPIX will get some angry calls about interupting the game... there were points scored!

6. Yeah, I screamed at the split screen

I was watching the Pittsburgh Channel 11 station, wondering if the Johnstown station did the same thing? Probably did.

I mean the Magats are outspending Democrats 10 to 1 for campaign ads, it isn't even close here in Pa.

Any word who invited TSF to the game?

7. According to this article from 5 days ago

Democrats have spent $159.1 million in Pennsylvania to $120.2 million for Republicans. The Democrats are not only NOT being outspent 10 to 1, they are significantly outspending Republicans in PA.
