[Deleted member 3812]

CNN reported over the weekend that Trump threatened NFL players telling them that they need to find another way to protest or lose pay:

In another tweet, Trump also reiterated his belief that players, who don't stand for the National Anthem should be penalized.

He wrote, "Be happy, be cool! A football game, that fans are paying soooo much money to watch and enjoy, is no place to protest. Most of that money goes to the players anyway. Find another way to protest. Stand proudly for your National Anthem or be Suspended Without Pay!"

The owners, assholes that they are, are not going to like having to acquiesce to Trump. Millionaires hate being told what to do.

Too early for flapjacks?

Already posted under a shitty title that didn't mention all the most important parts that yours did, so I'm not surprised you didn't see it or find it in a search. The title was something like "Trump tells NFL players to be happy because they're well paid" or some such nonsense, because obviously that's more important than the President directly violating their First Amendment rights...

If they protested some other way that'd be attacked too.

It's not the kneeling, it's just a bad faith deflection from having to talk about racial injustice.

We definitely elected a president to weigh in on football and not the thousands of real problems in the country.
