Wow never thought I'd agree with Trump on something but its true, Refs have too much control these days.

[tgueye]

You can tell he don't watch football for shitt by how he was describing the game sounded like Akeem from coming to America 😂😂😂

[tontyrutinel]

No, you're running the game by just chiming in

[BeyBladeNycc]

Why is he talking about this he should be worrying about actual problems

[JoshMitchell]

What kind of president has time to complain about football referees?

[daufohunter]

It's 2022 and he couldn't be more right

[dariusfloyd]

I didn't vote for I totally agree with the referees running the game how you think Tom Brady had such a long jevity at 40?? Shit you sneeze his way flags all over the there goes another Super Bowl victory LOL

In other news, Trump criticizes Surgeon General for pointing out hazards of cigarettes and thus "ruining a good smoke."

[joshuagonzalez]

What he basically is saying is fuck safety

[madboyreadynow]

Roger Goodall should fine Trump and suspend him indefinitely.

[guitarrhero]

Prolly the one time im gonna defend the refs. Its for player safety. Who lettin this man talk sports... he got a country to run

[lances]

Lol hope trump shines some light on the NBA refs, they are ruining the damn game!!

[joemurray]

NBA refs are making the game too soft tbh.. No idea about NFL

[flyhi]

He has a point especially with some bad calls(or lack of obvious calls)in the 49ers-Rams game.

[michaeltorres]

Weird. I don't see a bunch of neo nazi conservative comments saying he should stick to politics. They don't pay him to talk about sports. Just shut up and president, boy.

[noobarmy]

Carrying NAZI flag is not a disrespect??

[MarkJackson-wcxh]

Alzheimer's is a terrible disease.

[kevynmenjivar]

Time out I though he was suppose to run the country not the Fucking NFL. The players that kneel have a right to do what they think is right.

[julianbashir]

Lol why do they feel a need to release a statement for everything. Smh

[anthonybarbone]

I mean. He’s not wrong in 2018 with all of these BS roughing the passer penalties
