Internet Reacts to Rubio’s Love For College Football

America might be divided politically, but it’s great to see we can still unite around college football.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has gone viral for a recent FOX News interview in which he said that if he got 1 full week off, he’d love nothing more than to watch 14 straight hours of college football on a fall Saturday.

🤣 LMAO! Q: If you got 1 full week off and nobody had access to you, what would you do?
