Chief Critic<\/h2>\n

Critics have compared the event to \u201cThe Hunger Games,\u201d a dystopian novel and film franchise where districts are forced to put forth a boy and a girl for an annual, televised fight-to-the-death competition, in which the lone survivor emerges as champion and is adored as a national hero. Gov. Gavin Newsom, D-Calif., responded to Trump\u2019s announcement video for the competition on social media, responding with a clip from \u201cThe Hunger Games\u201d movie and captioning his post<\/u>, \u201cMay the odds be ever in your favor.\u201d<\/p>\n

What We Don\u2019t Know<\/h2>\n

It is unclear what exact challenges the athletes will participate in, though it appears some will be team-based. Freedom 250 says the challenges will be \u201cdesigned to test strength, endurance, agility, teamwork, and perseverance while highlighting the values that have helped shape generations of Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n

Key Background<\/h2>\n

Trump announced the Patriot Games in December, briefly addressing the competition in a video and opposing transgender participation. \u201cI promise there will be no men playing in women\u2019s sports. You’re not going to see that,” he said.\u201d Well before the announcement, Trump said the Patriot Games would be led by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The event is one of several Trump and Freedom 250 have created to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the U.S. The White House hosted a UFC fight card on the South Lawn earlier this month. The knockout-filled event was delayed an hour over inclement weather and featured one fighter who made a crude remark<\/u> about former First Lady Michelle Obama. Trump\u2019s Great American State Fair kicked off this week after most of its scheduled music performers dropped out<\/u>. The 16-day event has so far hosted sparse crowds<\/u> and dealt with several technical issues. <\/p>\n
