Comment on the controversial issue of kneeling during the national anthem and President Trump's involvement in this issue, including his tweets calling for the firing of players who kneel.
"and the one that started all of this in the first place is just plain stupid"
Last weekend, "the one that started all of this" would be President Trump.
The kneeling thing was dying down, players were doing it or not, fans were disagreeing or not, mostly quietly, each to his or her own conscience -- and then Trump threw magnesium powder and oil into the fire.
Thank you for serving, and thank you for recognizing that protest can be patriotic, but Trump -- the President of the United States -- called for any player who knelt to be fired.
This country faces numerous issues. Trump has lots of goals that are stalled. The government has hundreds of appointed positions that the US Senate can't confirm because Trump has yet to nominate someone.
So why is Trump telling the NFL how to treat its players?
Gee, could it be because when the going gets tough, Trump Tweets to distract and deflect?
Did Trump get mad that Kushner was caught using a private e-mail account for public business?
