Chuck D says watching the State of the Union was far more important than any sporting event.

Chuck D says watching Joe Biden's State of the Union address is more important than watching any "sporting event." He shared his take on the President's speech in a post on Twitter, earlier this week. Biden called for unity in the country, spoke on Ukraine, discussed Israel and Palestine, and much more.

“Pay Attention,” the Public Enemy rapper began. “Understanding this State of the union right now is more crucial than any sporting event going on especially with elections looming in November. The divided country looks on these faces on this screen is sad ass comedy of a haunted terrain ahead either way. Making sports appear as important as someone else’s masterbation Pay Attention. Gonna be a lotta civil casualties no matter who you vote for.”
