The president of the United States, Donald Trump, labeled the new rule for “ridiculous” on Monday kickoff Employed by the NFL since this season, and said it contributes to the American football being “effeminate.”
“The NFL has to get rid of that ridiculous new ‘Kickoff’ rule. How can they implement such a large and radical change with such ease and speed? It is at least as dangerous as the initial ‘normal’ initial kick and looks fatal,” Trump said in the social social network.
“The ball moves, but the players do not, just the opposite of what American football is. The American ‘effeminate’ football is bad for the United States and bad for the NFL! Who does these ridiculous ideas come up with?” Added the president.
Trump’s criticisms are directed to the norm that NFL put into practice since this season for the kickoff or initial kick, with which a team grants the possession of the ball on the contrary every time it scores, and that is also used at the beginning of the match, the second half or the extension.

New NFL rules receive criticism from Trump
The new rule is designed to reduce the risk of injuries and ensure the health of the players, according to the NFL, since it shortens the distance between the players of both teams.
Until now, the greatest distance allowed players to reach a higher speed when they ran in opposite directions-some seeking to score, and the others stop the corridor-, which increased the risk of injury.
The regulations also established a series of situations in which the ball should not even be returned by a player, almost completely avoiding those clashes.
