Chiefs coach Dave Toub dismisses Trump's criticism of NFL kickoff rule

I hate the kickoff in football, Trump said in the interview aired last week. I think it's so terrible. I think it's so demeaning. I think it hurts the game, it hurts the pageantry. I've told that to Roger Goodell. And I don't think it's any safer. I mean, you still have guys crashing into each other. It's the opposite of what the game the ball is in the air, nobody's moving.

My Husband's Family Are Football Die-Hards. They're Going to Hate Our New Rule for Our Son.

My husband's family has had a block of season tickets to our local NFL team for the past three generations. I enjoy going to the games because I like the chance for us all to be together as a family (not to mention the indulgence of stadium junk food), but I have little understanding of football. Dear Concussed Kids, I also know that those who play football are at risk of serious brain injuries.
