On the note of Trump owning a USFL team, Trump has been accused of having a grudge against the NFL because the NFL actually refused to let him buy a team.
To try and get a team, he bought a USFL team, and then pushed the USFL from the spring/summer to the fall/winter season and starting the lawsuit against the NFL, in the hopes that he could force a merger with the NFL.

The way other involved businessmen and the fans / people who cared about the general health of professional football as a whole (because they wanted to preserve a form of entertainment / ensure the future of pro football for whatever reason) view him. I've seen that same song and dance repeat ad nauseam in all sorts of different markets and situations he has his grimy hands in.
