The Trump administration has urged professional football’s leaders to induct Theodore Roosevelt into the sport’s hall of fame, with one top official predicting it will happen within the year.
“I’d say keep it a secret. Keep your fingers crossed. But I think we’re going to see Theodore Roosevelt inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame,” Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said at an event Thursday at the National Portrait Gallery, touting the former president’s work to make the game safer.
