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.
