I wouldn't say that he caused the United States Football League to fail, but is it possible he hastened its demise?
Isn't it true that many believe he pushed for the league to play in the fall, where many believed the only advantage it may have had was playing in the spring, where it did not have to compete against the NFL and college football?
Was it his belief that by doing so, he could then sue the NFL for anti-trust, or something like that?
Well, didn't they win? Something like one dollar, treble damages to $3.
Don't many believe that it was a reckless, over-aggressive move, that essentially led to the demise of the USFL?
Who knows if the USFL would have survived long term...but it would seem that by making this move, it was an all or nothing move, and didn't work out.
As with the end of many businesses, weren't not only the owners affected, but think of all the players, coaches, support staff, vendors (advertising, food, equipment) etc that were affected?
Hate to see an over aggressive move against, say, North Korea.
That fellow over there has nothing to lose, and might do ANYTHING to save face. All it takes is the push of one button to destroy a US city.
May not win a war against the US, but boy, he sure could make life bad for a great many for a great long time.
So, if you put that into some type of percentage (as in, Trump only made 1.2% of bad decisions) that ignores the great magnitude of the poor decision, doesn't it?
