Maybe the entire sports world should do what they get paid to do and keep their opinions to themselves when they are in
uniform, on the field getting paid very well to play a game.
Their opinion means nothing while they are in uniform and on the clock.

Yes, we did. We also fought for the right of Americans to protest protesters and for business owners to fire employees who discredit and demean the company they work for. It works both ways.

Sixty percent of the country doesn't even like Trump--he's not in a position to be bashing anyone. Just like his war with Hollywood is not keeping anyone from watching TV and movies, his war with professional athletes will not hurt sports.

You know what this will hurt? Trump's polls. People hate his stupid twitter wars, and it reminds everyone how unfit for office he truly is.
You say "a few" but let's keep an eye on the ratings and see if it's just a few. And why is one categorized as a "Trump snowflake" for being offended? This sorta speaks to the problem Dems have - moderate mainstream viewpoints automatically make someone a whacked out, racist Trump snowflake.

Actually, I would say soccer is becoming more popular among alot of young Whites. Atlanta United is one example. Soccer in Atlanta is competing the Atlanta Falcons for attendance, and doing quite well. Still plenty of Whites available for watching football. However, soccer is getting more popular.

The anthem protests have nothing to do with sports.
You might want to go read my post again. I changed it.

We must have some North Korean sympathizers on this thread. If so please go home to the leader that you worship know as the "rocket man."

No one fought so some fat orange guy in the WH could DEMAND that business owners fire anyone because he is dspleased. That is the problem here.
