The American Presidency has already been cheapened by previous words/actions during the campaign. Electing our first 'Shock-jock' President hasn't helped.

Agree and now he wants to degrade it even more by sitting high up in the Golden Tower instead of the symbol of this great nation the White House.

Frankly, sports franchises playing politics is just dumb. One of the best things about sports is that you can leave politics behind and just root for your team.

Unless you have a study from a credible source to back up what you’re saying, it appears you’re confusing causation and correlation.

Yep.

I'm sure it makes them feel good to take a public stand.

It can only damage the league bottom line - but I guess they are willing to take the risk on the belief that Trump is a racist.

One would think there would be more folks who'd appreciate taking a stand against white nationalism & bigotry?

Although one never knows, do one?

Fr'instance, who would've thought there were as many 'closeted' racial supremacists who would be emboldened to crawl out from under the woodwork by the bombastic rhetoric of an American Presidential candidate?
