Athletes urging people to vote following first presidential debate
The presidential debate on Tuesday night was chaotic, to say the least, and members of the sports community had one simple message to share with the general public following the event.
Athletes, coaches and prominent members of the sports community took to Twitter throughout the debate between President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden to encourage people to vote.
Many were complaining about both Trump and Biden, who continuously talked over each other throughout the night. People also had issues with Fox News anchor Chris Wallace, who moderated the debate.
This debate is the best sitcom of the year. This is pure comedy and the level of disrespect is off the charts. #Truth #LordHelpus

....someone please explain to me why they don’t mute the microphone of the candidate who isn’t supposed to be speaking, especially when the moderator is continuously forgetting to actually moderate???

During the debate, Trump failed to condemn white supremacy, which is something that shocked many people.
Stand back and stand by??????????? No further questions your honor! #vote

He was asked about racism and responded about law enforcement...

When all was said and done, the message that stood out, above all, was to get out and vote this fall.
