Donald Trump reveals reason he didn’t like playing football… despite having a similarity to Travis Kelce

Former President Donald Trump has revealed he would rather play football from the stands than on the field.

The Republican candidate, 78, who also opened with a failed attempt to buy an NFL franchise, lifted the lid on his football days on Tuesday.

The presidential hopeful revealed this in an interview with ‘Bussin’ with the boys‘ that while he could ‘catch the ball well’ as a tight end, like Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, he wasn’t exactly a fan of some elements of America’s favorite sport.

Trump, who is campaigning to retake the White House, admitted he struggled with the roughness and power of the game.

“I didn’t like someone who was lifting weights all day and came from a bad neighborhood and saw me… and they were tackling hard,” he admitted on the popular YouTube show.

Trump was a three-sport athlete at New York Military Academy and played on the football team for one year.

Although Trump was not a big fan of playing on the field, his passion for football has stayed with him.

Just last month, he electrified the crowd when he attended a college football game between Alabama and Georgia.

And the businessman also revealed on Tuesday that he had almost integrated his love of the sport into his business empire.

Trump offered $1 billion in cash for the bills a decade ago, following the death of founder and Hall of Fame owner Ralph Wilson.

Trump was one of three known finalists in the race to take control of Buffalo. A group led by rock star Jon Bon Jovi also expressed interest in acquiring the team.

Ultimately, the owners of the NHL’s Buffalo Sabers, Terry and Kim Pegula, won the bid with a bid of $1.4 billion.

When asked how close he was to closing the deal, Trump said: “Not close. The owner who got it is a very good man. I think he did a great job. Well, he made a great choice – he picked a great quarterback in Josh (Allen).’

The Republican candidate added: “I offered $1 billion and submitted a letter of credit. I thought I might get it because it was in Buffalo, which had some problems… and (Pegula) offered $1.4 billion – so it’s $400 million more.

“I don’t think it was a very serious run, but I gave them a $1 billion guarantee, so that’s always serious, right?”

In recent years, however, the former president has had a more adversarial relationship with the NFL.

In 2017, during his term in the Oval Office, Trump made inflammatory comments about the league and its players.

Trump called for NFL players to be fired for kneeling during the national anthem during a social media outburst.

The debate surrounding the national anthem led to the White House canceling the Super Bowl champions’ visit by the Philadelphia Eagles – a tradition for all championship-winning teams in the United States – in June 2018.

“The Philadelphia Eagles cannot bring their entire team to the White House tomorrow to be celebrated. “They disagree with their president for insisting that they proudly stand up for the national anthem, with their hand on their heart, in honor of the great men and women of our military and the people of our country,” a statement from Trump at the time.
