Nine months into the Trump presidency, it is clear that the president will regularly find ways to insert himself into almost any discussion, almost never for the betterment of civic discourse.
The controversy about some NFL players kneeling during the playing of the national anthem — starting a year ago with former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick — was a smoldering ember in the world of news. The focus of most NFL fans was on the new season. President Donald Trump, with his utter lack of impulse control, didn't just reignite the issue. He threw wood on the fire, doused it with gasoline and lit it with a flamethrower.
During a rally in Alabama, Trump didn't just complain about players kneeling during the national anthem. He specifically called upon owners to get rid of players who did and then basked in the applause he received like a conquering Roman emperor.
Bad move, Mr. President.
Trump's contemptible behavior is another example of his inability to fathom the responsibility, as well as the privilege, he has serving in the highest office in the land.
Railing against free speech and calling for the termination of NFL players might have worked as a reality TV host.
As president of the United States, he should be held to a much higher standard.

I like being coddled. Makes me feel all safe and cozy, just like a hug from mom. :)
So sayeth the Dallas Morning Red Star.
The editorial board is racist.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Taxpayer funded sports have consequences
Not to overlook the FACT that may Police Officers have been murdered by Obama’s minions in his (un)declared War On Cops.
Q. What’s the difference between Donald Trump and a Dallas Morning Star reporter?
A. Trump will still have a job in seven years.
Free speech...yeah riiiiight. Didn’t Dallas want to put a cop badge decal on their helmets? Yes they did, NFL said no. This is not about free speech.

LOL, the left is constantly inserting Trump into EVERYTHING on a daily basis for purposes of ridicule and blame.
More projection.
You are!!
How dare he speak to us deplorables this way! Harrumph!
GFY Dallas Morning Snooze.
Agreed. They are racist.
“Trump’s NFL comments served only to coddle the ugliest elements of his base”
Like 63M deplorable, bitter clingers - that element?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
On Trump’s comments, including those regarding the NFL, does this:
“You can say a lot about President Trump ..but man, does he know how to get the Crazy Left to show their real faces or what?”
So what was the genius consensus of the “editorial board” when Kaepernick started this BS in the first place?
Especially at the behest (brainwashing) of his RADICAL ISLAMIC “girlfriend”?
And why didn’t the (n)fl just take the President’s advice? Why not just fire the “few” and be done with it? After all, would the #FakeMorningNews have gotten its transgender panties in a wad if a few malcontent black guys got the heave-ho, just like what’s happened with Rush, Schilling,Craig james, et al?
Actually it served primarily to distract from Congress once again failing to do anything about Obamacare. And it’s working great, there’s been one thread on that and like a hundred on this circus.
Just what we needed, more Malice Morning news...
Looks in mirror.
Well, yeah I’m ugly.
Black women in Alabama turned off the NFL in their homes this past weekend.
