Trump considers GOP convention sports night

Donald Trump thinks he may have an idea to goose interest in the GOP convention next month: add some sports to the politics.

Trump said during a rally Friday in Richmond, Va., that it would be fun to include an evening of sports heroes during the week-long convention in Cleveland.

“We may call it ‘The Winners’ evening,” Trump said, according to a report from CNN.

He added the night could include people such as Brian France, who owns NASCAR and is a Trump supporter. NASCAR is very popular in Richmond, which hosts a major race every year.

Trump has gotten support from major sports stars that include New England Patriots Quarterback Tom Brady and famed basketball coach Bobby Knight. Trump is expected to find several unusual ways to perk up the usually staid convention.

The GOP convention will run from July 18-21.
