I remember numerous federal government shutdowns during the Carter administration and no service academy football games were ever canceled.
In fact only under President Obama's and Harry Reid's government shutdown has any service academy sporting events have been canceled. It never happened during the other 17 government shutdowns during the Carter, Reagan, Bush and Clinton administrations.
This is complete incompetence of the Obama administration. It's actually been 4 years and 9 months of failures and incompetencies.
I think Obama does this BS on purpose then blames it on G.W. Bush or the Republicans.
Shutdown threatens football
The Defense Department has suspended all intercollegiate athletic events for the military service academies due to the government shutdown.
The shutdown may affect the college football game between Navy and Air Force on Saturday as well. A soccer game between the Naval Academy and Howard University scheduled for Tuesday has already been canceled.
“As a result of the government shutdown, the Department of Defense has suspended all intercollegiate athletic competitions at the Service Academies,” the Naval Academy said in a statement.
