US presidential nominee Donald Trump has vowed to ban football should he win the elections. The controversial Republican frontrunner told the crowd at a rally in Chigger Creek, Alabama that "Soccer is a girls' game where muslims, communists and wetbacks kick a bomb-shaped ball around until they declare the match a tie. It is everything that stands against American values."
Trump's Democratic counterparts in the presidential race were quick to condemn the tycoon's position: Hillary Clinton said that US ownership of several English Premier League clubs showed football could be a profitable economy-boosting enterprise, pointing out her friend Randy Lerner's success in guiding Aston Villa to the Championship; Bernie Sanders called football the "People's sport" before leading a Mexican wave during a three-hour tribute to Johann Cruyff in New York's Central Park.
