During last night’s Monday Night Football game, Chris Berman
interviewed both the presidential candidates during Halftime. I was a little disappointed with the format
of the respective interviews. Berman
only really asked each candidate one sports-related question. I would have liked it better if the
interviews had centered on sports as this was during halftime of a football
game. Instead, Berman asked the same
kinds of questions we have heard throughout the campaign process. Berman did ask each candidate what he would
change in sports. That was a good start,
but I wanted more. Being that it was in
the Monday Night Football setting, this should have been an opportunity for
viewers to see a different side of both of these men. It could have been a chance to move away from
the political rhetoric that has dominated the media for months. I know I would have gotten more out of this
interview if the central focus was on sports and the relationships each
candidate has with sports. This could
have been a great chance for a breath of fresh air for those who have followed
the campaigns; instead it was just more of the same.
