How weak these players must be to allow a singular individual determine their fate and actions. By the way, nice exaggeration of what Trump said. You must be exasperated! Love how all the new constitutionalists come out screaming "1st Amendment Rights!", But then that same right doesn't extend to anyone else that might tamper the narrative, nor did the NFL gives two squats about it in the past. It's only when convenient. You must be exasperated! Trump said and I quote,

"We're proud of our country, and we're proud of our flag. Players who disrespect the flag and kneel for the national anthem should be ejected from the stadium and cut from the team. Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say 'get that son of a [BLEEP] off the field right now' - he's fired!"

Life must be difficult feeling all vulnerable to words and stuff. Such coercion.

I'm biased? Your quote is exactly what Trump said, not sure why you think I said otherwise. He's a jerk, and he's preaching to his base. He couldn't give a rat's [BLEEP]. Sure, there were players already protesting, but your hero took it to another level, and he did it because he wants everyone to talk about something besides not repealing the ACA and sticking his neck out for a losing cause in Alabama.
