If it's not political, what is it?

This response shows how deathly afraid they are of Trump. The are terrified that Trump will continue to target them, and their sport's decline will accelerate.

It's fun to watch these people squirm, and squeal.

And he's trying to strong arm the NFL into doing this by calling on protests against the NFL. This is government attempting to intrude into private businesses.
Trump is stating his opinion as many others have on this issue. It's the same thing when liberals cry about being offended by something and want a person fired from their job whether it be on TV or a plumber. All privately owned companies and corps. Yet the left feels it's ok to strong arm those companies with threats and boycotts.

No he's not. He is just living up to the Dotard label that was recently applied to him!
