Trump brands NFL football 'soft'

The National Football League's efforts to tone down some of the game's violence in a bid to protect player health has made gridiron "soft", US presidential hopeful Donald Trump said. Trump who leads the polls for the Republican nomination for the White House, said in Reno, Nevada, that too many penalty flags were ruining the NFL. "You used to see these tackles and it was incredible to watch," Trump said on Sunday.
