Failed one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump is once again upset with the National Football League (NFL) because they dared to make a minor rule change that he claims will be the “beginning of the end” of professional football.
Despite vowing in 2016 never to watch NFL games because some players knelt in protest during the National Anthem, it’s clear that Donald is indeed keeping a close eye on pro football, HuffPost reports.
On Sunday, Trump posted this on his failing Truth Social platform:
“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!”
In reality, the NFL hasn’t gotten rid of the kick-off return. Instead, it has introduced what it calls a “dynamic” rule, as the league clearly explained before the 2024 season began.
The ball will still be kicked from the 35-yard line. However, only the kicker will start on that side of the 50-yard line. The kicker cannot cross midfield until the ball touches the ground, a player in the landing zone or the end zone. If the ball falls off the tee twice, the kicker will be allowed to use a kicking stick (closest covering official will pick up the stick immediately after the kick). A 12th man also is permitted to hold the ball in windy conditions but must run off the field after the ball is kicked.
And it didn’t take long before the new rule resulted in an electrifying kick return for a touchdown by DeeJay Dallas of the Arizona Cardinals against the Buffalo Bills.
As usual, Donald Trump is uninformed and full of crap. He needs to be in prison or an assisted living facility.
