Donald Trump is not afraid of anything, and that is why he is able to challenge one of the most sacred things that exist in the country he presides over: American football. These days, the controversial president of the United States added a new comment for the gallery, this time pointing towards what is, undoubtedly, the king of sport in the nation. The NFL breaks viewership records week after week and is the sports competition that moves the most money on the planet. with revenues last season of more than 19,000 million euroswell above the 11,000 million generated by the MLB, the second competition on the list. None of that seems to matter to Trump, who has now decided to advocate for change the nomenclature of the sport of the oval ball and the shields.
Totally focused on the soccer World Cup that will be held in the United States in 2026, along with Mexico and Canada, Trump intervened last Friday in the draw for the groups that was held in Washington, and there, before Gianni Infantino, president of FIFA, he reflected on the confusion that exists in the North American country with the soccer (football) and football (American football). “When you see what has happened to him football in the United States, which is the soccer In America, we never seem to call it that because we have a small conflict with something else called football”, Trump began saying during the ceremony.
“But, thinking about it, it shouldn’t be called… this (football) es footballdefinitely. We have to find another name for the NFL. Thinking about it, it doesn’t make sense,” Trump ended up saying, who is now betting on changing something as sacred and intrinsic to American culture as the name of American football. This modification, of course, would also entail a change in the acronym NFL, since they refer to the National Football League. For now, what Trump is clear about is that football In the United States it is what you play with your foot, nothing of soccer.
