Trump Nukes the NFL Over ‘Price Gouging’ and ‘Stupid Kickoff Thing’: ‘They Could Be Killing the Golden Goose’

President Donald Trump torched the National Football League (NFL) on multiple fronts when asked whether the federal government will step in over “price gouging. ” Sharyl Attkisson asked Trump about accusations of “price gouging” in the NFL on Sunday’s Full Measure , and the president did not hold back in his criticism of the NFL, saying they could do fine earning a little “less. ” The Department of Justice launched a probe into the NFL last month over whether they are harming viewers with anticompetitive tactics through means like spreading games across various streaming services.

“I don’t like it. They’re making a lot of money. They could make a little bit less.

They could let the people see. You have people that live for Sunday,” Trump said. He also knocked the league over a dynamic kickoff rule introduced in 2024, aimed at making initial kickoffs safer and encouraging more returns, which he has blasted in the past.

“They could be killing the golden goose. I mean they have that stupid kickoff thing that you can’t watch. It’s unwatchable,” Trump said.
