Donald Trump’s Foray into Football
In this photo, Donald Trump, alongside coach Walt Michaels, presents a jersey to star player Doug Flutie, marking a significant moment in the United States Football League (USFL). Purchased for a cool $9 million in September 1983, the New Jersey Generals were part of Donald’s venture into sports team ownership.
Unfortunately, despite high hopes and significant investments, the USFL folded in 1986 after an unsuccessful antitrust lawsuit against the NFL, which Donald pushed for in hopes of merging the leagues. This foray into sports was brief, as Donald did not own any other sports teams afterward, shifting his focus back to real estate and entertainment.
