"You've got people that love football. They're great people. They don't make enough money to go and pay this. It's tough and they could be killing the golden goose.

"I don't like it. They're making a lot of money. They could make a little bit less. They could let the people see. You have people that live for Sunday, Trump said.

"It's tough. It's a tough [one]. You've got people that love football. They're great people. They don't make enough money to go and pay this. It's tough and they could be killing the golden goose. I mean they have that stupid kickoff thing that you can't watch. It's unwatchable, Trump said. I hate the games where they, you know, they have the new phony kickoff. I don't think it's any safer.

The federal government is investigating the NFL for alleged anticompetitive tactics that move viewers from free broadcast television to paid streaming services. The investigation centers on whether the NFL harms viewers by shifting games to platforms such as Amazon Prime, Netflix, Peacock, and YouTube. When asked whether the conduct amounts to price gouging, Trump said it is difficult but argued the league makes a lot of money and could make a little less. He also criticized a 2024 kickoff rule, calling it unwatchable and claiming it is not safer. He warned the NFL could be harming its long-term appeal.
