A new digital ad will run in the swing states during the NFL draft. The draft festivities were held in Detroit, attended by 300,000, and broadcast to millions across the country. The ad targets Trump's lack of interest in football, comparing it to Trump being out of touch with real Americans. It includes clips of Trump stating that football is boring and nobody cares about it, along with Biden greeting the Super Bowl Champions Kansas City Chiefs at the White House.
The ads will primarily target football fan voters in Green Bay, home of the Packers; Detroit, home of the Lions; and Pittsburgh, the Super Bowl champion Steelers (over six years).

Trump is a racist and a traitor, always has been.
President Donald Trump criticized the National Football League Sunday morning ahead of the league's first full day of the season, claiming that viewership for NFL games is down and suggesting that if players "stood proudly" for the National Anthem "ratings could come back."
"Wow, NFL first game ratings are way down over an already really bad last year comparison," the president tweeted Sunday morning, repeating a claim he previously made about NFL ratings last season. "Viewership declined 13%, the lowest in over a decade. If the players stood proudly for our Flag and Anthem, and it is all shown on broadcast, maybe ratings could come back? Otherwise worse!"
“The NFL players are at it again - taking a knee when they should be standing proudly for the National Anthem. Numerous players, from different teams, wanted to show their “outrage” at something that most of them are unable to define. They make a fortune doing what they love......,” he tweeted.
Earlier this week, the president dove into a heated debate over a new "Just Do It" Nike TV ad starring former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who was propelled into the national spotlight in 2016 for being the first NFL player to take a knee during the national anthem.

So many are entertained by Trump, even here. Of course, what is going on in reality is horrifying, and most don't think of the border, climate change, Ukraine, and the Middle East. People have their lives to live.
But lots of people are entertained with football. This ad will hopefully influence some voters to vote for Biden-Harris in November; we need every vote we can get to crush the Federalist Society, white supremacy, and MAGA.
There is *nothing* you care about that survives a 6-3 Republican court for a generation. Nothing. I don’t know how many times the Court has to prove that to people before liberals unify and act. Elie Mystal.
