President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to express his disappointment with the NFL's new kickoff rules, deeming them a detriment to the game's excitement compared to college football.
President Donald Trump seemed to enjoy Super Bowl 59 , but he wasn't thrilled with the NFL 's recent changes to the kickoff rules . As Eagles fans celebrated their victory across the country, Trump took to Truth Social to criticize the league's alterations. 'The worst part of the Super Bowl, by far, was watching the Kickoff where, as the ball is sailing through the air, the entire field is frozen, stiff.
College Football does not do it, and won’t! Whose idea was it to ruin the Game?', he questioned.The NFL implemented these changes to enhance player safety and encourage more exciting returns. Kickers now initiate the kickoff from their own 35-yard line, while the receiving team strategically positions their players in designated zones. Returners have the freedom to run the ball back from wherever it lands, leading to more dynamic plays. This isn't the first time Trump has voiced his disapproval of the NFL's kickoff rule changes. Last year, he expressed his frustration, stating, 'I can’t believe the NFL is effectively getting rid of the always exciting Kick Off Return. Such an exciting part of Football. What are they doing? BEGINNING OF THE END!
