What Happened Last Week: Week of October 4th
- Hurricane Matthew in Florida took its toll on not just Florida, but the states around it as well. Mass evacuations and deadly rain/floods in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina has left extreme repair costs and devastation among families.
- This week a video from 2005 of Donald Trump using profane, derogatory language towards women has released and caused a lot of tension among women and the Republican Nominee. Trump issued an apology and discussed it during the debate, and although regretful, he has since called his comments “locker room talk”, but the damage from the video releasing has made a huge problem in his campaign.
- Throughout the first four weeks of this NFL season, the league has had a problem in primetime and Sunday game TV viewership. As ratings have dropped 11% from last year at this point in the season, and many are wondering what the problem has been. The games have not been entertaining for the most part, which causes many to tune into other things, as NFL games are also interfering with other programs like playoff baseball, and the Presidential Debates. The NFL is still a powerful empire, but could we see the start of a bigger issue for them?
- Donald Trump and Hillary went at it again in the debate on Sunday. Lots of discussion about Trumps comments this week, Hillary’s emails, terrorism, and more, while still showing the true qualities of these two candidates.
