Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump has punted on his plan to campaign in Wisconsin Sunday.

The event had been scheduled to begin at 3 p.m., about half an hour before kickoff for the Green Bay Packers game at Lambeau Field.



The West Allis rally was called off due to a "scheduling difficulty," Trump spokesman Matthew Schuck said.



It's unclear whether the Trump team decided it was unsportsmanlike conduct to try to go up against the Packers. But holding a campaign event that conflicted with a game drew immediate criticism from Wisconsin Democrats and Republicans alike.





Trump is now planning a 2 p.m. campaign stop in Minnesota. That event will begin 2 hours after the start of the Minnesota Vikings game is scheduled to begin.



Crowd size at that event should help determine whether trying to compete with the Vikings is a blown call.
