Die Gouvernment-Krise der USA hat Folgen für den College-Sport. Nicht nur Air Force vs Navy, sondern auch Boston College vs Army sind dieses WE in Gefahr.
So heißt es:
As it turns out, the Air Force-Navy game isn’t the only one facing cancellation.
In a press release sent out a short time ago, Navy announced that the Department of Defense has suspended all intercollegiate competitions at the nation’s service academies due to the government shutdown. At the very least, the Air Force-Navy game as well as Army’s game at Boston College are in danger of being canceled.
As far as the former contest is concerned, the Navy wrote in its release that the academy “will cancel contests as appropriate and notification on Saturday’s football game against Air Force will be made public prior to 12 noon on Thursday.”
If the shutdown bleeds into next week, Air Force’s game against San Diego State Thursday night — a Mountain West showdown, no less — would be in jeopardy as well thanks to the DOD edict. Two days later, Navy travels to Duke while Army hosts Eastern Michigan, both of which could also be canceled.
