President Donald Trump recently used the term 'Sissy' in a way that many would find offensive – and it represents an overall 'disturbing' trend, said a professor in the public humanities.
In a position on his social social platform on Monday, the president unleashed his complaints about a new rule in the NFL that apparently did not sit well with him. He closed the competition for his “ridiculous -looking new kick -off rule”.

“How can they make such a big and radical change so easy and fast. It is at least as dangerous as the 'normal' kick -off and looks like hell,” he wrote. “The ball is moving and the players are not exactly the opposite of what football is all about.”
'Sissy' football is bad for America, and bad for the NFL! “He went on.
The NFL has implemented what it calls its new “Dynamic Kickoff rule”, which, under various changes, moves the kick-off to the 35-Yard line instead of placing the 30 and players of both teams closer together to help eliminate high-speed collisions. The competition said that the intention was to improve safety for the players and to increase the returns to make the game more exciting.

Sarma said that Trump's comments, which “ironically were intended to show his own invented and imagined hypermasculinity, draw attention to his” cowardice, “his controversies and allegations involving women and his medical exemptions of the army.

“If [George] Orwell so perfectly portrayed in his 1984, “controlling discourse has considerable consequences and can normalize abuse, injustice and discrimination,” they continued later. “It is terrible and mixed that Trump normalizes abuse, injustice and discrimination and especially in the context of his presence of social media.”
Sarma also warned that Trump's social media post about the NFL reflects a “disturbing” trend in which the use of some derogatory terms is becoming increasingly popular online.
“The trend is dangerous and disturbing,” they said. “Although it can be seen as a recoil against 'making political correctness', it is also a hyperbolic overcorrection that will lead (and is meant for it) to violence.”
