59. Football games last 3 to 3 1/2 hours or longer in many instances...

That puts the last game aver probably around 8 PM if you are lucky, and more likely 8:30 PM. If people are watching the game at parties, they don't suddenly pack up and say they have five minutes to drive across town to watch a debate, so the point is that the scheduling of this DID clash with the scheduling of the debate in real human life terms in terms of the way people would watch both events, even if the game MIGHT end before the debate starts (even perhaps within a few minutes of each other).

So, NO, a moderator taking this post down would only be the NAZI thing to do, not one that that lets us discuss this in a manner that discusses the real effect of timing of events, etc. on the lives of many that might vote in this election, and how it might affect the messaging of this party getting to them, or NOT getting to them!!!
