“President Donald Trump has changed the focus of anthem conversation from social injustice issues to patriotism”
They only wanted us to think it was about social injustice. All along it was about patriotism.
Staying in the tunnel is not good enough. All players should be required to be on the field and stand.
“They only wanted us to think it was about social injustice.”
They were OK with interjecting protests for liberal causes rather they were true or not (Hands up don’t shoot, or BLM) but came down against honoring the 5 police officers killed in Dallas. If a player would have taken a knee protesting Obamacare, the fake science of global warming, the IRS persecution, fast and furious, or prostrate cancer the league’s response would have been total different.
For me there are two issues. First, it is not respecting those who sacrificed for the nation by inserting political causes. That should have not been done. Second, the league has a double standard on causes.
