    NFL owners admit Trump pressured them into banning player protests

    President Donald Trump, in a rare display of modesty, refused to accept credit for a newly enacted ban on NFL player protests — but team owners admit he pressured them into the controversial policy.

    Players will not be allowed to protest during the national anthem under the new policy, although they may remain in the locker room, after Trump and some fans complained about silent demonstrations against racism and police brutality.

    “I think the people pushed this forward, this was not me,” Trump told “Fox & Friends” on Thursday morning. “I brought it out, I think the people pushed it forward. This country’s very smart, we have very smart people. That’s something (that) ideally could have been taken care after it first started, it would have been a lot easier, but if they did that, they’re doing the right thing.”

    However, team officials admit they banned player protests to appease Trump, reported Sports Illustrated.


    “Oh yeah,” said Green Bay Packers president Mark Murphy. “It was more how [Trump] might react, anticipating that. Also, how the fans will react, how the media will react. That’s what we tried to think through.”

    “No matter what we did, [Trump] would probably try to get involved one way or the other — either criticizing us or taking credit for the change,” he added...

    It's over now, new NFL rules limit the shitbag kneelers demonstrating their hate for the flag to the locker room. It's too late to whine, recount, protest, and throw a fit. It's over and done. Trump is making America great again!

    I think the owners did and will always do what they think is best for their bottom line. I doubt they care about the POTUS opinion that much. I also believe the Players are at work, and if they don't want to do what their employers say to, they can quit and get another job. Course the pay probably wouldn't be near as good.

    I don't think you check your patriotism or free speech at the door of your workplace. With your rationale, WOMEN should have to succumb to their bosses or fellow workers advances and pawing, because their EMPLOYERS say so?

    The players can take a knee while the play is in progress, I don't care. I don't watch NFL. Never really did.
