The first debate between Trump and Hillary Clinton on Sept. 26 will compete against ESPN's "Monday Night Football" telecast of the New Orleans Saints vs. Atlanta Falcons. The second, on Oct. 4, is up against NBC's "Football Night in America" broadcast of the New York Giants vs. Green Bay Packers.

Most people probably think the presidential debate is more important that whatever crap is normally broadcast on Monday Nights - even more important that football.

I find it interesting that you sneer at the presidential debates on the one hand then decry "why so many Americans are so ill-informed."
