Philadelphia’s relentless quarterback sneak has been the focus of the league… and now the nation.
The 47th President of the United States has consistently been open about sharing his views on various matters in life…especially in the realm of sports.
In the NFL, no controversy has attracted a wider range of individuals to the discussion than the Philadelphia Eagles’ implementation of the Tush Push as a twist on the quarterback sneak.
Multiple coaches have stated their desire for the play to be prohibited because of the “injury risks” and its nature of being more rugby-like than football-like.
Currently, the President seeks to engage in the controversy – and his response will astonish a number of individuals.
“I wouldn’t prohibit it,” Trump stated.
Some find Trump’s remarks regarding the Tush Push not being banned unexpected.
However, in any case … He has extended an invitation to the team to tour the White House after their victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX.
The Eagles – having turned down the offer following their 2018 victory – are said to be more receptive to it this time.
The Tush Push isn’t the only aspect of football that the President feels strongly about. His greatest frustration arises from the new kickoff scenario.
“To begin with, it’s the contrary of football,” he stated. “Secondly, it’s genuinely more perilous, as you are really engaging with one another without any protection or anything,” Trump stated. “It’s considerably more perilous.” It is incredibly awful. You see, in football, whenever the ball is in motion, you should also be in motion. This ball is airborne, and everyone is claiming it is terrible to see that. “And I mentioned that to Roger Goodell.”
Trump consistently provides a remark or two about football at this stage.
For the Eagles, however, it’s a fresh twist that demonstrates backing for the Tush Push remains steadfast, even reaching the Oval Office.
