He was a part owner of the New Jersey Generals. He wanted the new league to replace the NFL. He failed and new league failed. Trump has always been a fucking greedy asshole.

in comparison. At no point did his rallies come close to the draw of NFL football games:

50K to 100K PAYING ATTENDEES PER GAME, over 60K on average, 17.5 million last year.

Getting between those people and their stadiums might just be dangerous.
