NFL Fans Are In Agreement With President Trump's Demand

President Trump can't say much to unite everyone in the United States these days. However, on Sunday, he did.

The President of the United States sounded off on the NFL and its grabs for money. President Trump is demanding that the NFL move away from a setup where fans have to pay a ton of different streaming services to watch games.

Streaming sites like Netflix, Amazon, Peacock and YouTube TV will all have games during the 2026 season.

"There's something very sad when they take football away from many, many people, he continued. "Very sad. 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. They live. They can't think about anything else, and then all of a sudden they're gonna have to pay $1,000 a game. It's crazy, so I'm not happy about it."

President Trump wants it to change.

"They have that stupid kickoff thing that you can't watch," Trump said. "It's unwatchable. I hate the games where they have the new phony kickoff. I don't think it's any safer. I hope college football doesn't do that."

NFL fans are in agreement, though.

President Trump gets 100 percent approval rating on this suggestion

"Like many football fans, I care about only one team.  If they're not playing, the games are watchable, but not desirable and not worth paying even a dollar to watch.   Good luck NFL.  Try not to let your greed kill the popularity of the sport.   By the way, has anyone noticed the price of gasoline of late?  Wonder how many millions of fans have had to spend their extra cash on gas, and now can't afford another streaming subscription - and won't even bother to sign up," one fan wrote.

"When they start to lose viewers and money, they'll make the change back. Thanks to trumponomics, people don't have money to get every streaming channel the nfl will be on. We have prime. If it's not on that or over the air channels we just won't watch," one fan added.

"He's right about this," one fan added.

"We all agree, stop making me own 15 apps to watch football. Annoying," one shared.

"He's not wrong," one fan added.

President Trump isn't wrong, is he?
