POLITICIZING THE ROSE BOWL GAME: “Meet the man behind the ‘Trump is disgusting’ skywriting,” according to CBS:

A millionaire real estate developer — who also happens to be a donor to Florida Sen. Marco Rubio’s presidential campaign – is behind the aerial messages at the Rose Bowl calling GOP front-runner Donald Trump “disgusting” and he says that there’s more to come. Much more.

“There’s no place for him,” said Stan Pate, from Alabama. “He needs to go back to one of his tall towers and build buildings and whatever else he does. He’s a despicable man.”

“I want to see America wake up and say this is not what we expect,” he added.

Those hosting a tailgate party at the Rose Bowl on New Years Day might have been surprised to look up to the sky and see messages blasting Trump. Multiple planes spewed cloud-like messages castigating the GOP front-runner, such as “AMERICA IS GREAT, TRUMP IS DISGUSTING. ANYBODY BUT TRUMP.” The messages quickly went viral on social media and created a buzz for those attending the 127th Rose Parade, the annual ritual on New Year’s Day in Pasadena, California.

The NFL has become far too politicized over the last decade. I guess it’s time to expect the same from college football as well, as yet another formerly politics-free zone is violated — there aren’t many of those left at all these days, it seems.

UPDATE: “Did anyone else read this as ANY BODY BUTT RUMP?” Heh.™
