Michigan Senate Candidate Who Called Football ‘Toxically Masculine’ Still Watches It — ‘With Some Guilt’

The candidate came out against football and fireworks. He’s now trailing his opponent by one word: “wedge.”

“I still enjoy watching football, even if with some guilt associated with it,” he said.
