This is going to lead to even more players and now even some coaches kneeling or sitting during the anthem. I can guarantee you that.

Trump opens his mouth on an issue that doesn't concern him and now he's made the issue worse. The players for the NFL and now the NBA are banded together now more than ever.

So, is this what "Social Activism" month will look like? Players taking knees for their own personal reasons while sending no clear message to impressionable individuals who actually look up to them?

Sounds down right silly. As if concussions and all but guaranteed CTE weren't enough to drive people away from the game, right? Again, slippery slope here. Kids aren't going to want to watch a game they aren't allowed to play, and they have managed to piss off a majority of adults already.
