President Trump signed an executive order to preserve the broadcast time slot for the Army-Navy game, ensuring it remains a standalone event. Trump signed the 'Preserving America’s Game' order during a White House ceremony honoring Navy's Commander-in-Chief's Trophy victory.
Stephen A. Smith criticized the move, arguing it oversteps presidential authority. 'Who the hell does he think he is?' Smith questioned. Smith highlighted concerns about government interference in media content scheduling.
The Army-Navy game is set to remain on CBS through 2038. Navy won the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy in a thrilling 17-16 victory over Army in December.
'The second Saturday in December is preserved forever for the Army-Navy game,' Trump stated.
