Why is Donald Trump choosing this Lions vs Commanders game to step back into the NFL spotlight?

Former President Donald Trump’s attendance at the Lions vs. Commanders game injects significant political weight into the NFL’s Salute to Service weekend.

Trump, who has previously criticized the league, will be a focal point, reminding everyone how sports and politics intertwine, even in a stadium setting.
