ESPN’s Matt Barrie is a man of the people, tells audience to ‘unfriend’ anyone with a wedding this weekend

ESPN college football host Matt Barrie urged fans to unfriend or “unfamily” anyone getting married on a Saturday packed with college football. His comments play on the long-running clash between autumn weddings and fans who see Saturdays as a central part of the sport.

Barrie made the appeal during Thursday’s UTSA–Florida Atlantic game, pointing to a weekend schedule with several match-ups between ranked teams. The article’s writer agrees with Barrie’s stance, saying they would skip a wedding held on a college football Saturday, and suggests viewers of a Thursday night American Athletic Conference game are unlikely to attend one anyway.
