Pre-pigskin attack on Trump's 'pig' insults

UltraViolet Action, a feminist advocacy group,plans to tow an anti-trump banner over Lincoln Financial Field before Saturday's Temple football game, as well as at contests in Iowa, Michigan, Ohio, and North Carolina.

Football fans getting their pregame on for Temple vs. Southern Methodist Saturday will get an anti-Trump message along with their hoagies, sausages and assorted beverages.

A plane will tow a "Trump Says Women R Pigs. Disagree? Vote" banner over Lincoln Financial field from 9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., says UltraViolet Action, a feminist advocacy group that plans to buzz college stadiums in other swing states with the same message.

The banner, a reference to the Republican nominees record of sexist remarks, will also be flown over the Rutgers vs. Ohio State game in Columbus; the Wisconsin vs. Michigan game in Ann Arbor; Northwestern vs. Iowa in Iowa City; and the Virginia vs. Duke game in Durham, N.C.

"Trump's anti-woman history is so long that we couldn't even fit a small percentage of it onto these planes," explained Shaunna Thomas, co-founder of UltraViolet Action. "With the first female major party candidate in history going up against the most sexist, bigoted and unqualified candidate in modern history - it is up to voters, especially young people in key swing states to register to vote and make sure that this person never makes it to the White House."
