Vikings' Sendejo endorses 'Make Football Violent Again' hat

Minnesota Vikings safety Andrew Sendejo seemingly has a response to the NFL's new helmet rule.

During a training camp practice Friday, Sendejo donned a hat with the phrase "Make Football Violent Again."

"It fits good and it's black and I like it," Sendejo said, according to ESPN's Courtney Cronin. "It's got a good message."

Sendejo said the hat was a gift from a former Vikings teammate and he had been wearing it prior to the implementation of the new helmet rule, but the message "applies more now."

Under the new rule, it's a penalty if a player "lowers his helmet to establish a linear body posture prior to initiating and making contact with the helmet." Sendejo is doing his best to work around it.

The rule was already a topic of debate during Thursday's Hall of Fame Game, with a number of flags thrown against both the Baltimore Ravens and Chicago Bears.

Sendejo, a nine-year veteran, was suspended one game in 2017 after a hit on Mike Wallace sent the receiver into the concussion protocol.
