Donald Trump on the Alabama-Georgia game: “This is really great football”

Former President Donald Trump seemed happy with what he saw at Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday night.

In a brief interview with Outkick founder Clay Travis published on X, the Republican presidential candidate emphasized a point.

“This is really big football and it’s great to see,” Trump said.

Trump spoke with Travis about the NFL’s new kickoff rule.

“I don’t want to get into controversy,” Trump said, “but it looks so bad, and it occurred to me that they didn’t do that in college, and they shouldn’t.” And I think the NFL should go back.”

The former president, flanked by singer Kid Rock and golfer John Daly, played in front of fans at the start of the game, throwing boxes of popcorn to fans standing behind barricades.

The stadium crowd cheered as Trump was shown on a video board watching the game with Sens. Katie Britt, Tommy Tuberville and Steve Daines of Montana.
