Trump plans executive order to block postseason football from overlapping with Army vs. Navy game

[Initech]

President Donald Trump plans to sign an executive order preventing any football games from going head-to-head with the annual meeting between Army and Navy, he said in a post Saturday night on his Truth Social app.

The most recent meeting between the two academies, which ended in a thrilling 17-16 Navy win, was played on Dec. 13. The game kicked off at 3 p.m. ET. The LA Bowl, which saw Washington defeat Boise State 38-10, kicked off at 3:30 p.m. This was an unusual situation, as Army vs. Navy is played a week after conference championship games and, for many years, with no other football games in the time slot.

CBS Sports has been the broadcaster of Army vs. Navy since 1996 and holds the rights until 2038.

Trump's statement does not specify whether the order will extend beyond football games to include other sports scheduled for early December. However, his reference to postseason football could imply more than bowl games. As reported by CBS Sports, some proposals to expand the College Football Playoff to 24 teams include moving Army vs. Navy up a week to the first Saturday in December.

6. Expand playoffs to 24 teams? Good grief!

There will always be decent teams left out, but I doubt any of them will beat the top 5, maybe top 10.

8. Yet another worthless, unenforceable waste of paper. And of course, the stupid news media bothers with it.

It can't be done.

10. Furthermore, Big Mother****** will make an EA (Executive Announcement)

during the scheduled halftime two-minute hate, which all patriotic citizens are encouraged to watch. Please stand directly in front of your telescreen so that Little Mother****** (Miller) can properly gauge and document public approval levels. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

11. Fine dump the Army v Navy game. It is a screaming dog of a game anyway.

Do I need to include this?

Good thing to see Donny Von Shitsinpants is working on important things.
