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.
Professional sports is popular only to those who waste money and time in watching them. To the rest of us, they are a bloated corporate cash cow, and their worth or worthlessness has nothing to do with Trump.

The "entire" sports world??????? LMAO!!!! that's misleading......All I read was like 15 athletes tweets and most were blacks and liberals who NEVER voted for Trump in the first place.


This is good politics for Trump, the majority of the country (except black people) take offense of the kneeling down to our flag and National Anthem to push a political agenda or to promote overpaid athlete's personal agendas.

A majority of the people in this country didn't vote for Trump so I'd tap the brakes on your assumption of what the majority think even excluding "black" people

Indeed-it seems like the sports FANS support Trump. Who is more important to Trump? The average patriotic sports fan, or elitist out of touch American hating players?

Every Trump advisor probably shook their heads after what he said last night . Without a teleprompter to read, Trump ends up making life harder for himself.

Good to see that more and more reasonable people who voted for Trump are starting to distance themselves from him.

Anybody who still supports Trump at this point, it tells you everything you need to know about them.

People can't say or do whatever they want at most places of employment. There can be consequences for your speech, just not legal consequences like jailtime.

Liberals routinely celebrate conservatives being fired from tv shows for opinions and arrange boycotts against advertisers on conservative shows.

Learn how to read!!!!.......I said the majority in this country (except black people) take offense of the kneeling down to the national anthem and our flag to push a political agenda and to push over-paid athletes personal agendas.


Trump won 30 states compared to 20 for Hillary......that's how we choose our President.



you think the kneeling down to our flag and National Anthem to push a political agenda is a winning theme for Democrats for 2020? good luck!

Can't lie about that. Some liberals do celebrate conservatives being fired from TV shows. And we have conservarives showing the same scorn for liberals.

Let's call it what it is. Liberals and conservatives are at each others throats, and the divide will remain.
