Donald Tr𝚞mp really does not like the NFL’s new kickoff rule.

In 2024, Tr𝚞mp took to his Truth Social platform to voice his displeasure with the new NFL kickoff rules, saying, The new kickoff rules mark the ‘beginning of the end’ for the NFL.

The NFL changed its kickoff rules to enhance player safety while also encouraging more kick returns. One significant change was moving the kicking team’s players to the opposing team’s 40-yard line, with only the kicker starting at his team’s 35-yard line.

Just this month, Tr𝚞mp was back at it again, criticizing the rule. After referring to it as a “sissy” play in September, the President wrote on Truth Social, “I HATE WATCHING THE NFL’S NEW KICK OFF RULE.”

Now he is finally receiving some backlash over his words.

Kansas City Chiefs special teams coordinator Dave Toub is going viral after he did not mince words when asked for his reaction to President Donald Tr𝚞mp’s recent criticism of the NFL’s dynamic kickoff rule.

Toub made it clear on Thursday that he doesn’t care what the president thinks about the play.

“He doesn’t even know what he’s looking at. He has no idea what’s going on with the kickoff rule,” Toub said, referencing Donald Tr𝚞mp.

Toub said, “He doesn’t even know what he’s looking at. He has no idea what’s going on. Take that for what it’s worth. And I hope he hears it.”

These comments come amid the heated debate over the league’s attempt to make kickoffs safer and more dynamic.

According to reporting from The Washington Post, kickoff return rates soared to 76.9% through Week 2 of 2025, up from just 32.8% the year before.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
