When NFL Network announced that it was going to air Thursday Night Football — a legally bounding production name and brand — in a special Saturday session, America broke itself. Just like an infant child who doesn’t understand words so it burps up all over itself, Americans couldn’t grasp the idea of Thursday Night Football airing on Saturday.

Naturally, America burped up all over itself on social media.

Not everyone was confused, as Timothy Burke from The Big Lead let the world know that not every American sports fan is clueless and easily confused by Saturday football.

Look, it’s not that difficult of a concept to wrap your head around. Thursday Night Football is not meant to let you know that’s the day the games are played on NFL Network, it’s the name of the production. It’s the legal name of the broadcast, just like you wouldn’t accuse the Chicago Tribune of plagiarism because it released a ‘Late Edition’ that has material that was in the ‘Early Edition’ sent out overnight.

Also, since when in the hell was Saturday football such a revelation to people. Fans are reacting as though Bugs Bunny is on screen beating little children with a wooden sled when for four months out of the year the world has about a million college football games on every Saturday.

It’s not that foreign of a concept, then again that Bugs Bunny analogy works for whatever kind of football the Redskins and Eagles decided to play in what has become the most confusing concept of the modern television era.
