Something, anything

A true American patriot

In the wake of Roger Goodell, Commissioner of the NFL, apologizing to players in lieu of Patrick Mahomes powerful video questioning the NFL on its policies toward protests against racism, Donald Trump decided to send a tweet Sunday night questioning whether or not the NFL would backtrack on its policy against kneeling.  Considering that Trump's approval numbers are plummeting and he's losing badly to Joe Biden, this is little more than Trump trying to find anything that will help him with his racist base and prop up his numbers at least a little.  He hopes that blaming the black folks for disrespecting the flag and our country will lead him to another victory come November.

Good luck with that--my guess is this fall we're going to see a whole hell of a lot more players than we did last time taking a knee.  And that many of them will be among the most high profile players in the league.  With approval for Black Lives Matter easily outdistancing Trump's approval for the job he's doing, it's hard to see that Trump's tweets this fall won't fall on mostly deaf ears and will only add fuel to the fire for those of us who would crawl over broken glass to send his ass back home this November.

But by all means, please proceed.

Fuck Donald Trump,
