I completely agree with Trump. If I were the 49ers owner, Kapernick would have have been cut from the team and out on the street before halftime on the first day of his antics!

It's just a symbol nothing more nothing less, it's meaning is given to it by the people waving it, and symbols mean different things to different people

Does this mean the statues can go back up?

51 percent were 45 years or older,

68 percent made more than $60,000 a year, and,

registered Republicans were 21 percent more likely to be NFL fans than registered Democrats.

In other words, we're talking about a largely white, largely male, older and reasonably affluent fan base that skews Republican. That sounds a lot like people who voted for Trump in significant numbers.

If players want to engage in political antics with their fans, that decision probably ain't gonna be good for players' multi-million dollar paychecks.
And if they really are fans, they won't bat an eye.

I'm white, I'm male, I make well over $60,000 a year. And I'll be at the bar watching the Steelers take on the Bears tomorrow. Anyone who won't watch the game for some players who are expressing their First Amendment rights doesn't like football or is a Commie.

As a Chicagoan, I refuse to watch the Bears after last weeks game.
