I see this a pretty strategic in that he forced the ball into the NFL's court so to speak. How long has this kneeling been going on with zero action except more and more people being divided because they may not necessarily agree with another opinion? This is now a put up or shut-up situation. The NFL has to address the issue head-on one way or another. If not, all credibility is lost. Not only that, it draws attention to what individual players are or are not doing.  In addition, this also forces sponsors to take action or get on the sideline. If anything, Trump just helped gain more traction to actually address the social issues at the cause of the kneeling, fist-raising, or sitting. Whatever your preferred silent protest method.
