​​Football in the Lives of the Country's Presidents
.
The tradition of hosting a gala reception at the White House for Super Bowl winners dates back to the 1980s. Such public events became traditional a little later, during the time of the 40th US President Ronald Reagan. In general, football plays an important role in the lives of the country's presidents.

Donald Trump
It should be noted that the current US president generally pays a lot of attention to the NFL. Trump comments on almost every statement by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. He threatens not to watch NFL matches if the league turns a blind eye or generally favors the peaceful protests of players and coaches during the national anthem. He criticizes Drew Brees for his inconsistent position on this delicate issue.

That is due to the fact that Trump is a longtime fan of the sport, and in 2014 he almost became the owner of the Buffalo Bills. Then Trump did not have enough money, only $ 400 million to enter the elite private club of the NFL team owners.
