Apparently, a game trumps politics among avid fans in Wisconsin.

According to FOXnews.com, WTMJ-TV in Milwaukee will bump President Barack Obama’s speech on unemployment to another channel to air NBC’s coverage of festivities before the NFL game between the Green Bay Packers and New Orleans Saints.

The pregame coverage will air at 6:30 p.m. local time, while the speech will be bumped to the station’s digital channel that is available on cable at 6 p.m.

The station says that NBC is offering feeds of both.
