A resolution recognizing the Army-Navy football game as America's Game.

Key Points

• The Senate passed a resolution to officially recognize the annual football game between the U.S. Military Academy and the U.S. Naval Academy as "America's Game."
• The resolution states that this game is a symbol of patriotism and service that helps with military recruiting and should be protected from competition with other college games.
• It asks TV networks, colleges, and sports leagues to avoid scheduling any other college football games on the second Saturday of December when this game is played.
• The Senate suggests that government agencies like the Federal Communications Commission and the Department of Defense should look for ways to promote the game and its importance to the public.
• This is a "sense of the Senate" resolution, which means it expresses an official opinion but does not create a new law or legally force TV networks to change their schedules.
