Trump went on to criticize the NFL for rules meant increase player safety.
The NFL ratings are down massively, he said. Now the No. 1 reason happens to be they like watching whats happening with yours truly. They like whats happening. Because you know today if you hit too hard 15 yards! Throw him out of the game! .?.?. Theyre ruining the game! Thats what they want to do. They want to hit. They want to hit! It is hurting the game.
In a statement Saturday morning, NFLPA Executive Director DeMaurice Smith said, The union .?.?. will never back down when it comes to protecting the constitutional rights of our players as citizens as well as their safety as men who compete in a game that exposes them to great risks.

(50,912 posts)2. Too bad Trump can't be drafted.
What would be the best position for him?
QB? Would be easy to annihilate him.
WR? He wouldn't be able to catch anything.
Center? Hmmm
Walking Back?
But there would need to be an incentive for a team to draft him. Such as 4 first round draft choices in the next draft.

He wants to see EVERYBODY hurt. And he SAYS it, openly, publicly, ALL the TIME.

All he seems to care about are TV ratings and crowd sizes.
