Donald Trump believes fans are having to pay "$1,000 a game" to watch football on television. [View all]

An out-of-touch Donald Trump believes fans are having to pay “$1,000 a game” to watch football on television.

During a Sunday interview on Full Measure with Sharyl Attkisson, the 79-year-old president was asked whether the federal government would step in over alleged “price gouging” surrounding the broadcasting of America’s favorite sport.

Last month, the Department of Justice launched an investigation into whether the NFL is engaging in anticompetitive tactics that harm consumers by making more games available only through paid streaming subscription services.

After going off on a brief tangent to once again blast football’s dynamic kickoff rule—which aims to make the game safer for players by reducing on-field collisions—the president then vastly overstated how much fans pay to watch games on television.

You don't pay that for a live game unless you have club seats or a suite.
