Politics and sports don't always mix, but on Saturday they'll collide.
UltraViolet Action, a national women’s advocacy organization created in 2012, booked five planes to fly over college football stadiums in swing states with the message: “Trump Says Women R Pigs. Disagree? Vote.”
In Ann Arbor, the plane will fly over Michigan Stadium from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. The game against Wisconsin begins at 3:30 p.m. Brett Abrahms of the group, said they have to clear the air space an hour before the game as part of standard security.
Planes bearing the same message will also fly over the Rutgers-Ohio State game in Columbus, the Northwestern-Iowa game in Iowa City, the SMU-Temple game in Philadelphia and the Virginia-Duke game in Durham.
Shaunna Thomas, co-founder of UltraViolet Action, says in a statement:
Donald Trump is a sexist whose toxic misogynistic rhetoric has no place in our political system -- let alone in the White House. Not only does he publicly insult women, he actually brags about it -- and this should tell every voter in the country all they need to know about Donald Trump and how he would govern.
Trump’s anti-woman history is so long that we couldn’t even fit a small percentage of it onto these planes.
