Trump’s behavior over the canceled Eagles visit to the White House is a disgrace.
Trump only cares about himself. He pushes the anthem issue because his base likes it. This is all about “winning”, not doing what is right.
Let’s review:
• Trump is a racist. I can give you many examples but the most prominent ones since he became president are calling some bigots in Charlottesville “very fine people” and not criticizing Roseanne Barr’s racist tweets. I’ll never forgive him. I wouldn’t go to see him. I support the players.
• No Eagles player kneeled during the 2017 regular season or postseason.
• Fox broadcast photos of Eagles kneeling but it was in prayer before the game. They later apologized
• Trump has a grudge against the NFL because of his USFL failure and not getting the Buffalo franchise.
• No Eagles players stayed in the locker room in 2017. That was the Pittsburgh Steelers.
• The NFL caved in with their new policy but, with a bully like Trump, it is never enough. Now, he doesn’t want the players to be able to stay in the locker room.
• Trump said kneeling players were SOBs. He recently said that maybe they didn’t belong in the country. That’s no way to talk about people expressing ideas.
• Trump has lied about the reason for the protests. It’s not against the military, it’s against racial injustice. Shouldn’t we believe the players who protested? They know why they did it. Trump is just trying to avoid discussing racial injustice and appeal to the many bigots who support him.
Here’s a video with a good summary.
Sad!
