Trump Rips Into The NFL In Surprise Statement
In recent years, the NFL has made certain games exclusive to services such as Netflix, Peacock, and Prime Video. As a result, fans are spending way more money to watch games throughout the season. Donald Trump had something to say about their decision to keep expanding:
President Donald Trump was asked about the NFL moving games to paid streaming platforms and said he doesn’t like it, via @FullMeasureNews:
“They’re making a lot of money. They could make a little bit less. … You have people that live for Sunday… and then all of a sudden,… pic.twitter.com/hfyHfMxb8l

“They’re making a lot of money,” he said. “They could make a little bit less. You have people that live for Sunday, 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.”
Many fans reacted to this statement:
We all agree, stop making me own 15 apps to watch football. Annoying AF
Ari, ticket prices are outrageous and average fans are being priced out of season tickets, plus they lose a home game to other countries. Not to mention you have to own every streaming platform to even watch games anymore. Stop being an nfl shill and call that out.
This is actually becoming a problem. People pay for sports channels and packages and then some games are blacked out in the local market. Mets and Yankees fans get a few games a season on Apple TV. Always annoys me.
Yes, I am sick of so many games going to streaming and also not a fan of the international games.
Something both Republicans an Democrats can agree on
