It was, in short, the perfect political touchdown for Trump—and an embarrassing fumble for Walz.
The Harris-Walz campaign’s attempt to troll Trump with a blimp ad accusing him of ducking a debate only added to the governor’s troubles. Planned as a grand show of clever trolling, the ad was scrapped at the last minute due to weather concerns. One might say that if the weather hadn’t ruined the plan, the reception to Walz’s presence at the Michigan game certainly did.
As if the public humiliation wasn’t enough, the aftermath of the Michigan game has only gotten worse for Walz. In a move that left political pundits and football fans alike scratching their heads, sources have confirmed that Walz has been permanently banned from attending future college football games—at least in the Big Ten conference.
The official reason for the ban? “Unnecessary roughness…to the ears,” said one anonymous source close to the Michigan athletic department. “We’ve had hecklers and booing before, but this was something else. The fans just couldn’t take it anymore.”
Another insider hinted that the ban was put in place to “preserve the integrity of the game.” After all, no one wants to risk having an entire stadium clear out because of one politician’s unfortunate appearance. “It’s about protecting the fans,” the source added. “And the players. And the hot dog vendors, honestly. Nobody was safe from the boos.”
In the face of his public banishment from the sacred grounds of college football, Governor Walz has taken a surprisingly upbeat stance. Speaking to reporters outside of Minnesota’s statehouse, Walz shrugged off the whole incident, saying, “If being booed by a few football fans is the price I have to pay for doing what’s right, then so be it. I wear it as a badge of honor.”
