President-elect Donald Trump ripped the NFL's kickoff rule on Sunday as the league began to wrap up the 10th week of the 2024 season. It was a point he has made multiple times.
President-elect Donald Trump made clear one thing he was no fan of during his re-election campaign – the NFL’s new kickoff rule. Trump reiterated that point again right after he praised San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa following the star player’s sack celebration that appeared to be an homage to the former president.
The NFL should get rid of the ridiculous new Kickoff Rule!' Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. It was not the first time Trump had been critical of the rule. He mentioned it as a point of contention when he appeared on the 'Let’s Go!' podcast with sportscaster Jim Gray and former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick. 'I will tell you, I watch football now, and I see that kickoff, and it looks weird to me,' Trump said before Election Day.
Big time college football is as big as the NFL,' he said. 'I don't know what they're doing with the kickoff return in the NFL. And I don't want to get involved in controversy, of course, but it looks so bad. 'And I noticed that they hadn't' done that in college, and they shouldn't do it. And I think the NFL should go back. And maybe it is a little bit more dangerous, but I doubt that it's any more dangerous. It's football.
The NFL is in the first season of its dynamic kickoff rule. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
