President Donald Trump called into Pat McAfee's show on ESPN on Tuesday, there was one topic that really got the president fired up: The NFL's new kickoff format. "I hate the kickoff," Trump said to protestations from McAfee. "I think it's so terrible. I think it's so demeaning, and I think it hurts the game. It hurts the pageantry. I mean, you still have guys crashing into each other, and ... it's the opposite of what the game (is supposed to be). The ball is in the air, and nobody's moving. It's supposed to be when the ball is in the air, when the ball is played, you're supposed to move.
"It's so bad. It's so bad. It's so unromantic, and it just is demeaning to football. I don't think they have a right to do that to the game," Trump went on to say. "You know, the game is so important. I don't think the people that approve that. I don't think anybody has the right to do that to the game.
