After Donald Trump called the NFL soft, Khaled Holmes had something to say about it. 

As he campaigns for the presidency of the United States, Donald Trump has been using a lot of different tactics. Most recently, he brought the NFL into the fold. As he was talking about how the country, in his mind, is getting soft, he likened it to the way the NFL isn’t really as violent of a sport it used to be.

To some, this was a pretty laughable moment. However, it appears that Indianapolis Colts center Khaled Holmes isn’t really doing a lot of laughing about the comments.

In response to Deadspin tweeting out Trump’s controversial comments, Holmes had a pretty simple message for the Republican presidential candidate.

Really, there was nothing else he needed to say. In regards to the way NFL handles safety these days, unless you’re out there on the field making a living by putting your health at risk, you have no room to criticize. And that goes for folks like me who sit behind a keyboard all day and type about the great sport.

It was only a matter of time before someone from the NFL world annihilated Trump for these comments, and Holmes was here on Monday to beat most to the punch with really the only logical response that he could give.
