NFL: We never sent Trump a letter about the Debate schedule

An NFL spokesperson Saturday denied that the league had contacted Donald Trump to complain about the schedule for the upcoming presidential-election debates between Trump and Hillary Clinton. The statement contradicted Trump’s assertion that he had received a letter from the NFL bemoaning the fact that the debate dates overlap with scheduled games.

“While we’d obviously wish the Debate Commission could find another night, we did not send a letter to Mr Trump,” NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy tweeted Saturday in response to Politico’s Alex Weprin and the Associated Press’ Mike Sisak.

He tried what we've seen in the campaign of just saying that he might be an NFL owner but that was it. Him just making Mouth words.

His owning a casino gave him a lifetime NO for NFL ownership.

There is a great "30 for 30" ESPN about the USFL. They were playing in the spring. Good ratings. They got 3 straight Heisman winners to sign with the USFL. Trump dominates the other owners and says Lets go head-to-head with the NFL in the fall. That was the end of the USFL. Football is now a 12 month sport - the USFL could have waited just a few years in the spring and waited for a merger. Trump screwed up the whole operation.
