WASHINGTON
-- Instead of welcoming the Philadelphia Eagles to the White House on
Tuesday, President Donald Trump held an event to celebrate America
and play the national anthem.
Ah yes, I remember
it well
how Donald destroyed
the USFL*.
Now that little pig
from that little league
wants to take down
the whole NFL.
Though NFL owners
aid and abet him,
with billions at
stake I doubt that they'll let him.

*In 1985, the USFL
voted to move from a spring to a fall schedule in 1986 to compete
directly with the NFL. This was done at the urging of New Jersey
Generals majority owner Donald Trump and a handful of other owners as
a way to force a merger between the leagues. As part of this
strategy, the USFL filed an anti-trust lawsuit against the National
Football League in 1986, and a jury ruled that the NFL had violated
anti-monopoly laws. However, in a victory in name only, the USFL was
awarded a judgment of just $1, which under anti-trust laws, was
tripled to $3. This court decision effectively ended the USFL's
existence. The league never played the 1986 season, and by the time
it folded, it had lost over US$163 million. — Wikipedia
