WARNING: If it bothers you to read this little bit below, don't read the rest of the article.

Earlier this November, an NFL executive gave a fascinating, if bewildering, quote to Bleacher Report’s Mike Freeman regarding the future of the nation’s most popular sports league under Donald Trump.

“Under President [Barack] Obama, the country was intellectual and looked at facts. I think that’s why our ratings fell,” said the anonymous executive. “People read a lot about our scandals or CTE and didn’t like what they saw. Under Trump, the country will care less about truth or facts. It’ll be [more raw] and brutal. Football will be more of an outlet. We’ll go back to liking our violent sports.”

You just can't make this stuff up...

LOL, talk about stereotyping a large group of people, the best is that the country does not care about truth or facts under Trump but did under the most corrupt administration in my life time.

How pray tell could or would Trump or anyone other government official influence football? Those that complain about the wussification of football are always the one's that never played the game, or at least beyond HS. They also fail to realize when comparing now to the good old days, today's players are bigger, stronger and faster then ever.

Football will definitely thrive under the boorish, coarse and vulgar buffoon. It was mainly the uneducated that put him in power. These people believe that a man born with a silver spoon in his mouth will bring back jobs to the USA. Orangeflakes will never learn.

Once again it has been proven over and over again that the educated voted heavily for Trump.
