WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a move that has left both political pundits and sports analysts scratching their heads, former President Donald Trump announced that Washington D.C. will host the 2027 NFL Draft. The announcement, made from the Oval Office, was accompanied by a flurry of superlatives and a promise that this draft would be “the greatest in history.”
“A Tremendous Opportunity”
Flanked by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, Washington Commanders owner Josh Harris, and D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, Trump declared, “This will be the most tremendous, most luxurious draft ever. People are saying they’ve never seen anything like it. Believe me.”
Goodell, attempting to maintain composure, added, “We’re excited to bring the draft to the nation’s capital. The National Mall will provide a historic backdrop for this event.”
“Make Drafts Great Again”
Trump unveiled a new slogan for the event: “Make Drafts Great Again,” complete with red hats bearing the phrase. He also hinted at a possible halftime show featuring Kid Rock and Ted Nugent, stating, “We’re bringing back real entertainment.”
Economic Impact or Ego Boost?
Critics argue that the decision is more about boosting Trump’s profile than benefiting the city. Local resident and political analyst, Jane Doe, commented, “It’s clear this is just another ego trip. The city has more pressing issues than hosting a glorified football job fair.”
A Draft Like No Other
Trump promises that the 2027 draft will feature gold-plated draft cards, a red carpet stretching from the Capitol to the White House, and a special appearance by the “best quarterbacks, maybe ever.”
