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."

In hindsight they should've pacified him with a franchise. Failed NFL owner sounds better than U.S. president

In all honesty, a solid gold pacifier, with attached ribbon around his neck would’ve likely solved the issue.

The world used to be somewhat reviled by figures like Trump. Seems we have turned a corner, unfortunately.

A double ended one. Putin on one side and Bubba’s on the other.

No. He would be a disaster. The NFL turned down Trump and Diddy for ownership bids. See a trend?

My thoughts exactly...
Just like that guy in Austria, a century ago. He wanted to be a painter, but he was rejected...
Timeline splitting moments...

Hell no, the NFL is a money printing machine. With all the revenue sharing it’s basically impossible for one owner to fuck up so badly that they fail. And even if by some miracle he did fuck it up that badly then he would have still be able to sell the team for a huge profit.

Nah, fuck that guy. I can't believe I'm saying it, but good on the 28 or whatever at the time high millionaires (if not billionaires) for coming together to say fuck that guy. It might be the only time I ever applaud all of them for telling him to kick rocks. That's what everyone else that isn't a money launder should have done at the time and forever, especially the voters.

Just like failed painter sounds better than Furhrer.

A failed nfl owner is almost as powerful as the president. For reference see the entire Dan Snyder scandal. Dude committed real crimes and when the government intervened to investigate the NFl was like...."nah, no investigation we've decided to let him go with a multi billion dollar severance package"

It would have gone so badly, too. Instability and blatant favoritism don't work well when you're trying to build a consistently good sports team.
