Welcome to Ad Age’s Wake-Up Call, our daily roundup of advertising, marketing, media and digital-related news. What people are talking about today: President Donald Trump lashed out repeatedly at the NFL.

Boring games yes, but many stay away because they love our country.” Age’s Anthony Crupi has the hard facts on ratings, adding: “As is generally the case when the former ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ host wades into the Nielsen data, misinformation is soon to follow.”

It’s a powerful spot. Can football be a unifying force in the divisive political climate right now? And if not sports, then what?
