Trump’s Intriguing Connection with American Football Takes Center Stage
This Sunday, Donald Trump will make history as the first sitting president to witness a Super Bowl in person. His complicated relationship with American football has evolved over the years, encompassing everything from high school games to corporate rivalries with the NFL.
Prior to the much-anticipated game, Trump enjoyed a round of golf with renowned player Tiger Woods in Florida before heading to New Orleans for Super Bowl LVII, where the Kansas City Chiefs faced off against the Philadelphia Eagles. This event marks a significant intersection of politics and sports.
The NFL’s Controversial Moves Amidst Presidential Actions
The president’s arrival at the Superdome coincides with heightened scrutiny surrounding NFL policies. Recently, the league faced backlash for removing “End Racism” logos from their end zones—a decision many critics attribute directly to Trump’s recent executive order terminating diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives across federal entities. While some assert this connection between Trump’s decrees and NFL decisions is concrete, Commissioner Roger Goodell has maintained that league matters regarding diversity transcend presidential influence.
Although Trump had previously attended a Super Bowl in 1992, he remains neutral on which team will triumph this Sunday despite online commentary hinting at support for Kansas City. “I don’t want to declare one team over another,” he remarked when asked about potential winners but indicated admiration towards a ‘particular quarterback,’ widely interpreted as referring to Patrick Mahomes of Kansas City.

A Longstanding Football Legacy and Political Friction
Tensions have arisen between Trump and professional football throughout his presidency as well; notably concerning players kneeling during national anthems as protests against social injustices began gaining traction around 2016 under former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s movement.
