To clarify this: If there were a game being played but not broadcast, would that be the same to her as if the game were not played at all?
Would it be the same to her as if the game were played and broadcast?
Oh, and another question: Could a scenario like this plausibly play out in the environs of some other city, with their own professional football team? All other such cities?
Getting very close
Is she responsible for monitoring commercials used during the broadcast?
Or more generally, does she need this information for her job?
No
No.
Does part of the reason involve another person?
Does she know someone who is a Steelers fan and need to know
when they’re going to be incommunicado ?
No
No
Well, I’m going to be tied up the rest of the evening and nobody has quite gotten it to my surprise. I was expecting the first reply to be a correct guess just because it is so simple. Many of your guesses/thoughts were way more interesting than the truth.
My gf keeps an eye on the Steelers schedule (and particularly the broadcast information) because she hates doing grocery shopping when it is crowded. Around here, if you go to the grocery store when there’s a game on, the store is virtually empty. During a bye week she plans ahead and skips grocery shopping for that week.
We once went shopping during the Super Bowl figuring the same – no way. A thousand wives and gfs were getting out of the house.
I guess it varies with location. Pittsburgh is extremely close to the Steelers. I’ve been in Steeler bars in a few islands in the Caribbean and enjoyed an Iron City Beer, paying extra for the opportunity.
I deliberately went to IKEA during the last royal wedding. Virtually empty.
We’re being plagiarized.
This is at least the second time this channel has stolen a question from us.
This is hilarious, though!
Decades ago, Los Angeles had a Day Without an Immigrant (well before the 2017 protest of the same name). I think it backfired because people that did not participate talked about how wonderful it was with no traffic, grocery stores empty, etc.
I asked in the comment section.
Did you make this one up?
What was the first?
No I got them both from the podcast and thought they would be fun here. Sorry should have been more transparent! Actually I thought I said in that first one I posted but obviously not.
