Americans have rights: freedom of speech, assembly and nonviolent protest. The black NFL players “taking a knee” to the National Anthem is their peaceful protest of racial inequality in this country. DJT called those players “sons of bitches”, yet he hailed the KKK and neo-Nazis in Charlottesville as “fine people”. DJT pardoned Sheriff Arpaio, who violated the civil rights of many, contributing to some deaths. Every U.S. president takes an oath to uphold our constitution, the laws and liberties inherent therein; his role should be uniting our citizenry, yet he is extremely divisive in all his words and actions. Calling for the firing of those players (who have contracts), and his minions calling for the firing of ESPN anchor, Jemele Hill, for stating that “Donald Trump is a white supremacist, who has largely surrounded himself with other white supremacists”, is totally inappropriate! He is worried about people disrespecting our flag and anthem; he is an ABSOLUTE DISGRACE TO OUR DEMOCRACY!

My take on DJT’s attacks on NFL team players’ protests
