It seems there may be a conflict between ABC showing a NFL game on either Monday or Sunday night and one of the REAGAN/MONDALE debates! From what I understand, one of them may have to give in to the other. Is this absurd or what. Though many people would rather watch footbal than a debate (how sad), I think ABC should show a little class by choosing the debate to televise. I don`t think they should say "Sorry guys, but we can`t move the football game, so you`ll just have to change your debate day". However, I`ve also heard that something similar is already planned. It seems that next year`s Presidential inauguration may be held on Jan. 21st instead of the 20th. Why? Because the Super Bowl is going to be held on the 20th!! I don`t know of an amendment to our Constitution which changes the day of the inauguration. If this is true, we will technically have NO president for a day. It`s a sad day in the USA when a footbal game takes precedence over the Presidential Inauguration. Shame on you, ABC. Tom O`Connor ihuxw!tommyo
