Trump says NFL football has gone soft : Donald Trump in the news

At a presidential campaign event in Reno, Nevada, Sunday, the Republican front-runner, Donald Trump set his sights on a new target: the NFL.<br />"Football's become soft,” Trump declared.<br />“Football has become soft like our country has become soft.”<br />Trump took particular issue with the way the games are officiated.<br />He suggested that NFL referees make unnecessary penalty calls, saying they “throw flags so their wife sees them at home.”<br />“Who the hell wants to watch these crummy games?”<br />the New York real estate mogul asked.<br />“I just want to watch the end.”<br />Trump was quick to assure his audience that his ire does not reflect on one specific player: Tom Brady.<br />The two are longtime friends, and Brady was spotted with a signature Trump “Make America Great Again” hat in his locker.<br />But the football star has noted that he is not officially supporting any candidate at this time.
