The National Football League’s preseason got underway Thursday night with the Hall of Fame game, marking the official return of professional football after months away from the calendar. The matchup may feature limited marquee talent, but sportsbooks and bettors welcomed the renewed action regardless of the exhibition game’s traditional lack of consequence.
In a surprising development, ESPN and Disney announced they will broadcast Donald Trump’s “Patriot Games” this coming weekend as part of the former president’s initiative tied to America’s upcoming 250th birthday celebration. The competition will feature one boy and one girl from each state competing in events including kickball, dodgeball, tug-of-war, and pop-a-shot, with a $250,000 scholarship prize pool awaiting the male and female champions.
The partnership represents a notable alliance between the media conglomerate and the Trump administration, organizations that have previously experienced public friction. The games will air across both the ESPN app and ABC, bringing athletic competition modeled after classic Presidential Fitness Test elements to a national audience.
