Vikings Safety Andrew Sendejo Wears 'Make Football Violent Again' Hat

Vikings safety Andrew Sendejo wore a "Make Football Violent Again" hat at Minnesota's training camp on Friday, channeling Donald Trump's campaign insignia to make a statement about the league's new player safety rules.

A new helmet rule penalizes players 15 yards—in addition to potential fines or ejections—for leading or initiating contact with their helmets. Officials threw three flags for the infraction during Thursday night's Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio.

Sendejo said he has been wearing the hat for a while, according to ESPN, but he also said that the hat "applies more now" under new safety rules.
