Donald Trump may be the only person in America, outside of the residents of Cincinnati and Minneapolis, who has watched these NFL playoffs and doesn't like what he sees.
"Football has become soft like our country has become soft," the GOP presidential frontrunner told a campaign rally in Reno, Nevada on Sunday. "We're going soft, just like the NFL, we're going soft."

What NFL team did he play for?
Except for ex-Vikes HC Bud Grant who, at age 88, walked out to the coin toss yesterday in a polo shirt.
Still can’t get over that three dollar jury award, eh, Donald?
I think it is “Turf Toe” not “Toe Turf”.
You can say that again.
Flag Football League!
Are the players gone soft or the team owners or the fans, who knows who or what he is talking about as per usual in such general terms, I think I get it now it is the football ie Deflate-Gate.
Sorry, I don’t buy it.
NFL has become more brutal than ever. Steelers/Bengals game for example.......
Bud Grant was the toughest guy on the field yesterday by far.
As for the article, I was disgusted by the lopsided officiating and the rally-round-the- officials announcing. And for the record I’m a Jets fan
In KC area, we're rooting for our Chiefs just like our Workd Series champs, the KC Royals to bring home the crown and want the Super Bowl to include the Green Bay Packers, to do a replay of the first SB only with the Chiefs winning the top spot.

Situations where coaches seem to have lost control of their players are disturbing. Where football has gone soft is with being politically correct. That's about image instead of getting their own house in order. In that way, Trump has a point.
The Thug Culture has definitely taken over the game.
Steelers-Bengals game was a throwback to Oakland Raiders football of the 1970’s.
Something I never thought I’d see again in today’s too-PC NFL.
Ever listen to Rush Limbaugh much?
Believe me, I'll tell you, I would be the BEST NFL Commissioner they have ever had... NOBODY... would be a better commissioner than me. They have what, 90% of the league are black? Blacks LOVE me! They really do, you know...
It was great to see a cold weather game in Minnesota for one last time.
