The President is right to knock those who disparage our anthem or flag. \u00a0The so-called sports protests are not protests about sports, but about America. \u00a0The only role of sports in the protest is to give a bunch of un-educated ball hustlers a national microphone with which to attack the nation.<\/p>\n

Trump has a duty to make the argument, to express his thorough disapproval of these actions, and to urge sanctions against those who make millions in a country they cannot abide. \u00a0The people who run the NFL in particular, and a bunch of other outlets, had a magnificent chance to defend this country when under attack from within — they did not.<\/p>\n

Don’t tell me how you support the troops, NFL. \u00a0Your cutesy rah-rah spots on the Armed Forces Radio and Television Network are not fooling me. \u00a0You suck.<\/p>\n

Finally, despite reporting by the Hosington Waste, Trump did not “politicize sports”. \u00a0Leftist agitators politicized sports, and a decent President won’t take it sitting down. \u00a0Neither will I.<\/p>\n
