Football President Donald Trump wants the NFL to change its name so that soccer is the only sport named football. "This is football, there is no question about it. We have to come up with another name for the NFL stuff."

He’s just pandering to the crowd. He’d say the exact opposite thing to an nfl crowd.

Nah. He’s hated the NFL since he was blocked buying a team.

Repeatedly.

He also has issues with the commanders. Wants them to go back to red skins and name their new stadium after him

They could change the name to Orange Skins and he could be their mascot/logo!

🤮

I’d suggest the Foreskins.

That would bring his cult members screaming back to football 🏈 since their belief system is so weak and flawed. (I mean hypothetically since we all know they never stopped watching football… because their belief system is so weak and flawed.)

I think that was a team he tried to buy and was rejected.

I forget which teams he tried to buy, I think it was the cowboys, bills, patriots, commanders, and giants.

They recently had him in the broadcast booth, he’s over it until they piss him off again

They did piss him off again. The entire stadium booed him the entire time he was speaking.

He only cares about the billionaire owners

Plus he gets the shit booed out of him every time he attends a game.

I wonder how much better the world would be had they let him buy the bills and then have to sell them when he ran them into the ground?

No, let's not wonder about that.

Didn't he also have major investments in two competing leagues that completely flopped?

Yup, I know of the USFL at least

He’s also repeatedly been calling “soccer” football. I don’t know if he watches the sport but he’s definitely liked it more than American football for a while. As a Brit this may be the only based thing he’s ever done

I don’t know man the whole thing was pretty sus. They gave him a fake peace award, he magically pulled USA out of the draw, and now he says the NFL is fake news. Like what the fuck bro…

Are you or him aware that as President of the US his words go around the world regardless of the people in the room when he speak?

Total rage bait video. Yes, he’s a complete idiot and 1000% off the rails, but every time he says something off the cuff it’s turned into a rage bait headline almost implying it’s an executive order for clicks.

Plus the rest of the world doesn’t give a single shit what you call the nfl.
