Donald Trump on the NFL's pivot to paid platforms: "I don't like it"
"They're making a lot of money," Trump said. "They could make a little bit less."
The on-again, off-again tension between the National Football League and the nation's leader has landed on pro football's pivot to streaming. In an interview with Full Measure , President Donald Trump was asked if he thinks the NFL is engaged in "price gouging" by putting games on paid platforms, and whether the federal government should do something about it. " It’s tough ," Trump said.
"You've got people that love football. They're great people. They don't make enough money to go and pay this.
It's tough. And they could be killing the golden goose. I mean, they have that stupid kickoff thing that you can't watch.
It's unwatchable. I hate the games where they, you know, they have the new phony kickoff. I don't think it's any safer.
