"I think that is so unserious." Michigan Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers brushes off Democratic opponent Abdul El-Sayed's challenge to play him in "one-on-one football, no pads" football after Fox News @​AlexisMcAdamsTV asks him about the unusual offer. Rogers dismisses the challenge and points instead to voters' economic concerns: "People are facing this affordability crisis. He wants to thump his chest and show how macho he is." The challenge stems from the candidates' ongoing back-and-forth over football after Rogers criticized El-Sayed's past comments about the sport and El-Sayed fired back by challenging him to meet on the field. ▻
