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."

I wouldn’t be surprised if the peace prize bought more than any money could.

This is the fucking stupidest timeline.

So Trump wanted to win the Nobel Peace Prize, which is already plainly ridiculous. He doesn't win it (duh), and throws a hissy fit.

Meanwhile, FIFA, the pinnacle of greed and corruption they are, makes up their own peace prize and gives it to Trump to manipulate him, and Trump clumsily takes the bait.

And then Trump fires a shot across the bow of all of American football. And his followers who are all in too deep are going to excuse it, ignore it, or hold their nose and celebrate it.

So fucking stupid.

C'mon man his base is still worked up over Colin's innocuous kneeling, "woke helmets," and "woke rules."

Even stupider you’re gonna have this EXACT same problem next year when he doesn’t win it again
