Somebody give the douche a socialism peace prize and watch him give up capitalism.
He’s already having the government buy parts of companies…
To be fair, if this results in football changing to hand egg this will be the first Trump policy I would get behind. It would just be so funny... oh god, this is how people become MAGA trolls.. Am I turning?! Oh no...
Bizarre behavior but sure why not. It's probably a step towards metric I suppose…
NFL denied him having a team. He bought a USFL team, forced them to compete directly with the NFL and collapsed the league. Its an old vendetta
First he came for the Gulf of Mexico, and I did not cry out, because I was not Mexico. Then he came for the Department of Defense, and I did not cry out, because I did not need defense. Then he came for the football, and ... HOLY SHIT that's a lot of angry football fans!
Wow, he said something sensible for the first time.
Actually, rename soccer in USA and call it with its right name, football.
…Gridiron football as opposed to association football? Do people not know the difference and confuse them? Or just him?
He probably just found out about it being called football literally everywhere else.
CTE Ball?
Good thing he got that peace medal cause now we know why this is a thing.
I wonder if it came with a monetary prize as well.
Maybe they can call it “Footsie Ball”. Do you think people would like that? Or “Padded Rugby”.
Just call "american football" for what it is: sissy rugby
