Biden campaign hits Trump on 'boring' football comments ahead of NFL draft

Source: The Hill

04/26/24 9:30 AM ET


President Biden’s reelection campaign unveiled a digital ad ahead of Thursday night’s NFL draft, calling out former President Trump for saying football is “boring.”

The 20-second video opens with Trump saying at a rally that “football is boring as hell” and a photograph of Biden with Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce during a visit to the White House after winning the Super Bowl last year.

It also includes Trump saying “nobody cares about football because of it… it’s boring” and shots of Biden holding a football with players. “Make the right pick in November,” the ad concludes.

The video dropped on X shortly before the first round of the NFL draft kicked off in Detroit. It aimed to highlight that “Biden is a proud football fan, cheering alongside the over 120 million Americans who watched this year’s Super Bowl,” according to the president’s campaign.

Many traveled many many miles to be there just to hear a name or two for their team. And those middle aged men AND women were in much more elaborate get ups than ANY KKKlan Jamboree for trump.
The only way he will ever get a crowd that large is when he is escorted out of court in cuffs headed to a cell for espionage.

I think there are two reasons why Donny said it's boring:

1. It takes attention off him
2. His pathetic little feelings are still hurt that his offer to buy the Buffalo Bills got rejected.

Poor Donny his diaper rash must really make him super cranky.

I love the Biden Campaign's ads and especially the Lincoln Project ads.

No way were the real business men and women of the NFL gonna let that happen. He had already destroyed the USFL and sued the NFL in the 80s! AND, of course he used cooked books! Michael Cohen testified under oath about that. JFC, I almost passed out hearing that.

"Hey, I just sued you, let me in your club!" What a colossal delusional asshole.

But I know many do not. But gotta say seeing middle age men so deep into it to go out in public in those getups, is kinda cultish. Disturbing. And a whole damn lot of em have just as gaudy trump costumes for his KKKlan Jamborees off season. I mean shaving your head and painting it team colors with logos.
Always thought it’s gotta be a long walk from the stadium in all that crap when you get your ass beat.
Hopefully November will send those same ones on the walk of shame in all their red white and blue trump shit.

I quit watching pro football even before the turn of the century. When I want to watch a game, I view video of games from the '60s and '70s. I won't go so far as to say I "hate" today's football, but we're not on speaking terms.

that we don't switch to something like Australian rules football. Non-stop play, no pads, no helmets. None of this fifteen-seconds of play followed by five minutes of standing around stuff. No more useless time-wasting penalties like 'delay of game' or 'twelfth man on the field', that kind of thing. Just get out there and play the game.

except cheating at golf, and tooling around the green on his golf cart.

He's not a team player, and basically hates everything.

I love football, my team and fan energy. Can't wait for next season!

And when he sued, he was rewarded damages of $1.00. ONE DOLLAR.

Most of the men considering voting for Trump like football. It's smart of Biden to point out Trump's words.

More of this. Mine Trump's speeches for hud actual words that his voters won't like.

All they have to do is show him saying things and expressing his true feelings about what many Americans love:

Football
Dogs
on and
on and
on and....

We should make a list of things that most or many Americans enjoy that is is CLUELESS about!!

And are there videos of him saying the negative things about the military?

The projection is strong with this one!

Only a towering narcissist like TSF could make such a ridiculous statement and not be aware of how ridiculous it sounds.

Whether one is personally into football or not, it's impossible to miss the fact that millions of people love it, unless you live in a cave with no human contact and no TV or internet access!

But he doesn't care for it, so on course that means "nobody" does. Tell me you think you're the center of the universe without telling me, you orange jackhole!

So you know a three hour game where people are doing things other than big men coming up to him with tears in their eyes telling them about how they like to beat off when they think about him is not his cup of tea
