There is plenty of movement to ban one of the many keys to the success of Philadelphia Eagles, but President Donald Trump is not among those who want it out.
Trump saw the first hand when he participated in Birds’ Super Bowl Lix victory over Kansas City Chiefs earlier this month. Jalen Hurts scored the first touchdown of the game with it.
The spectator asked Trump for his feelings on the play that have gained controversy, and it doesn’t sound like there will be a performing order to get rid of it soon.

“I didn’t want to ban it,” Trump said.
The Eagles have used the piece constantly since Hurts became a full -time quarterback, and over the last three years it has hit an approx. 90% clips. And while other teams have adopted it, no one has come close to mastering what Philly has.
The one thing Trump would forbid is “This horrible kickoff rule.”

“First of all, it’s the opposite of football. Secondly, it’s actually more dangerous because you actually go into each other without any defense or something,” Trump said. “It’s a lot more dangerous. It’s so terrible. You know when you’re in football when the ball moves, you have to move. This ball is up in the air and they all say it’s so terrible to see it. And I told Roger Goodell.”
Green Bay Packers issued a proposal to ban Tush Push, and Falcon’s main coach Raheem Morris added earlier this week that it “should have been illegal three years ago.”

The new kickoff rule was implemented ahead of this last season and Trump has not been a fan from day one.
Trump has said he would invite Eagles to the White House to commemorate their Super Bowl -victory.
