Yet they are shooting themselves in the foot in the long term. For financial reasons, a product like sports should be as politically neutral as possible. The relatively wealthy conservatives (and their children) make up a huge portion of the NFL/NBA fan base.

If you truly believe that anyone (even "relatively wealthy conservatives and their children") is going to give up watching sports to stand in solidarity with the clown-in-chief, there is a bridge in Brooklyn....

Sports is way more popular than Trump and is the biggest type of entertainment there is in the country.

If anyone should be neutral and keep his big mouth out of sports, it is the so-called president.

Good. Maybe he shouldn't have opened his big fat mouth.

I would say "what did Trump think waa going to happen" if he spoke out against sports players, but we already know Trump doesn't think before he speaks LOL

Oh, so you're one of those that believe sports are too popular to ever become less popular? Makes sense.

It really IS this simple....

"Individuals choosing to sit for the national anthem is protected speech and I don't have a problem with it. Individuals choosing to walk away and not watch football because players sit for the national anthem is protected speech and rights and I don't have a problem with it."

After reading that, what more is there to talk about? LOL.
