of the United States aspiring to become president for the second time Donald Trump along with campaigning, has also had time to take a stand on the reform of the American football NFL this season.
Trump rejects the change and is not alone in his opinions.
The NFL introduced the “dynamic kickoff” this season. In it, the kicking team’s players line up on the receiving team’s 40-yard line, and the opponents line up between 30 and 35 yards.
The players of the kicking team are allowed to leave only when the ball hits the ground or the opponent. In the past, the teams were further apart, and you could get going right from the kick-off.
The idea behind the rule change was to reduce injuries and increase kickoff returns. It was the other way around.
Most teams kick the ball directly over the end line, after which the receiving team is allowed to start the attack from 30 yards. The reason for this is that teams feel it is better than letting the receiver go and bring the ball up.
Trump took a stand on the reform while attending a game at the University of Alabama.
“I don’t understand what they’re doing with kickoff returns in the NFL. I don’t want to get involved, but it just looks so bad,” Trump said in an interview during the match of justnews.com by.
The dynamic kickoff has drawn criticism from many fans for detracting from an essential element of the game.
