Happy NFL Week, everyone.
The first NFL regular season week of the season is here. The games will begin on Wednesday night, when the Seattle Seahawks take on the New England Patriots. It’ll be a rematch of Super Bowl 60, when the Seahawks blew out the Patriots. Games will continue on Thursday, when the Rams take on the 49ers in Australia. We’ll then get a full slate of action on Sunday, followed by the Chiefs vs. Broncos on ESPN’s “Monday Night Football.”
As the 2026 NFL season arrives, President Donald J. Trump is continuing to “demand” that the league changes its name.
President Trump, 80, is a football fan. However, he’s pushing for the National Football League to officially change its name.
Full Measure.
President Trump wants to see it happen.
The 80-year-old President of the United States thinks that we should be calling it something different than football. President Trump has repeated his comments as we head into the 2026 NFL season.
“When you look at what’s happened to football in the United States, soccer in the United States. We seem to never call it that (football) because we have a conflict with another thing that’s called football. But when you think about it, shouldn’t it really be called? This is football, there is no question about it. We have to come up with another name for the NFL stuff,” President Trump demanded.
NFL fans, of course, won’t take took kindly to that.
“Let Trump dictate what the NFL should do? That’s one way to ruin it,” one fan joked.
“What right does he have to demand anything from FOOTBALL or any other sport,” one fan added.
President Trump likely does have some influence in football, as he has good relationships with the likes of Roger Goodell and other top owners, but a name change is highly unlikely.
