President Donald Trump believes that NFL owners are afraid of their players, which is why they havenāt put their foot down and demanded that those blacks the players stop protesting.
āI have so many friends that are owners. And theyāre in a box. I mean, Iāve spoken to a couple of them. They say, āWe are in a situation where we have to do something,āā Trump said in an interview with Fox Newsā Fox & Friends that aired Thursday morning. āI think theyāre afraid of their players, you want to know the truth, and I think itās disgraceful. And theyāve got to be tough and theyāve got to be smart.ā
Letās be clear about this: The protest is a black protest. Almost 90 percent of those players protesting are black players. When the president says that he thinks that the owners are afraid of their players, what race of player do you think heās referring to? Maybe he means that the owners are afraid of a player revolt? Maybe he thinks that the owners are afraid that players are going to run into the big house and loot and stuff. Either way, itās another racist dog whistle from President Cesar Millan von HateFace.
Trump first involved himself in the NFL fiasco that had nothing to do with him last Friday when he spoke during a rally in Alabama because the president of white supremacy wonāt ever stop rallying!
āWouldnāt you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, āGet that son of a bitch off the field right now. Out. Heās fired,āā Trump said to a chorus of cheers and yahoos.

On on Fox & Friends, he also said this:
The NFL cannot disrespect our country. They cannot disrespect our flag or our national anthem. And they canāt have people sitting down or kneeling down during our national anthem. Iāve seen a couple stadiums over the last few weeks, there are a lot of empty seats. I couldnāt even believe it. But when it comes to the respect of our nation, when it comes to the respect of our anthem and our flag, they have no choice. You have to have people stand with respect.

Trump is a racist who says racist shit, and this is just another incident in a string of incidents in which he ignores the issues of people of color to continually paint the picture as he wants it to be.
