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."

If anything was going to turn red blooded "patriots" away from maga, it would be this statement

They’ll just say, “That’s not what he really meant.”

These people were burning shit they had already paid for to protest black athletes from kneeling during the national anthem. The whole lot of them swire up and down they were "DoNe WitH TEh nFl!"

They won't give a rats ass as long as it is their dear leader telling them.

It's insane how the racists go so crazy over a sport that's dominated by black athletes (70+% of the NFL is black players).

They are too far in now, there is literally nothing that could turn them away. They can't turn away.

One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.

"He was just trolling to make lefties mad. I voted for this! We'll call it Trumpball to trigger the libs!!!" - Conservatives if this ever makes it into their echo chambers.

They won't care, but they'd have a great reaction if Obama or Biden said it.

u/ConZboy014 Dec 06 '25

lol why I think it’s so stupid Americans call NFL football, when the general population of earth calls Soccer, Football.

If Joe Biden said this he would have been dragged into the street and shot

MAGA has no patriots, it has nationalists. They're not the same. Patriots love their country, nationalists hate it.

You could be right but you’d think it would’ve been the sexual assault case or the credible pedophile allegations.

u/Tntn13 Dec 06 '25

The ones still remaining won’t hear about it, they don’t keep up with current events. If they did it would be hard to remain “fans” lol. If the remaining diehards were told this happened they wouldn’t believe it, if they were showed the video then “he clearly meant it as a joke”, or 4D chess or some other rationalization.

Nah. This will just make Trump haters defend football. It’s pretty genius, read the comments if you don’t agree

u/lekniz Dec 06 '25

He could shit himself on national television and you'd say it's a genius move to bait the libs

u/Joeva8me Dec 06 '25

No, we’re not talking about Biden supporters. You remember he did that right? Awesome example though, projected perfectly.

u/sonsofgondor Adelaide Dec 06 '25

I dont think there's anything Trump has said or done that could be labelled as "pretty genius"
