Former President Donald Trump described football as "boring" during a rally at the Choctaw Event Center in Durant, Oklahoma, on October 1, 2026, prompting reactions from attendees and observers.

The comment came during a campaign-style event ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. Trump did not specify whether he was referring to American football or soccer.

Video clips of the remark circulated on social media, with some critics suggesting the statement could alienate sports fans in a state where football culture is prominent.
