NFL refutes Trump claim that it sent him a letter bashing debate schedule
Washington Post ^ | July 31, 2016

Posted on 07/31/2016 5:44:27 AM PDT by SMGFan

Donald Trump complained Friday that Hillary Clinton and her fellow Democratic cronies were rigging this fall’s presidential debates by scheduling them alongside NFL games. That claim was easy to disprove — the debate schedule was determined almost a year ago by a private group made up of both Democrats and Republicans.

They just addressed this on George S. The Trump campaign said Trump was made aware of the dates by a source close to the league, so I’m assuming there is no letter.

The NFL is worried that Hillary and the DNC may target their tax exempt status.

Okay so there is no “official” letter, but their is a private letter from a top NFL executive to Trump.

Amazing how the Washington Post will do anything to go after Trump and at the very same time ignore all the lies of Hillary.

Yeah, I wanted to add that. There was no formal letter, but there was something from a “source close to the league.” That could mean a private letter or some correspondence from someone in the NFL, whether it be an executive or someone else.

A new media created fictional letter, created so they can write/broadcast more fiction that Trump claims to receive the fictional letter, so the left can claim that Trump is lying since he cannot produce the MSM’s created fictional letter.

We are just in the beginning stages of MSM created lies during this election season.

Two words for the Washington Post.....,

PRIVATE LETTER

Did that even cross your minds before writing this hit piece? Perhaps the Washington Post was so excited that you finally caught Trump now.

Now Washington Post go back to defending all of Hillary’s lies you do on a daily basis you hypocritical, fake outrage pieces of $hit!

Because in case you haven’t noticed, the Clinton campaign strategy is to hide her from the general public. No press conferences, for example, in 9 months. They want her out of sight, so they caplet the media companies pull her over the finish line. That’s pretty obvious.

I think when Trump first mentioned this he said he was contacted by one of the teams playing, so we’ll see.

Come on, you people. Can’t you see what Trump is doing? Building suspense. This is going to be one of the most watched debates in the history of debates, football or no footfall.

I admit I would be far less likely to believe anything the NFL says than something Trump would say.

It’s looking that way. Has Trump or his people confirmed?

This is an example of why he will lose the election. This, the 7 day rant against the Trump U. judge...I could name several other examples.

There were many reasons he wasn’t going to get the nomination, either. I could name several examples.

in case you didn’t know, it doesn’t matter who the nominees are, the debate dates were set in 09/2015.
