At least two groups are organizing demonstrations to protest against President Donald Trump when he visits Atlanta Monday for the College Football Playoff title game.
Refuse Fascism ATL says they'll "take a knee against Trump" outside CNN's world headquarters near the stadium at 6 p.m., which is shortly before Trump’s planned arrival to Mercedes-Benz Stadium and two hours before kickoff.
The NAACP also said it plans to lead a protest before the game between the University of Alabama and the University of Georgia.
“Trump has made a terrible decision and is disrupting (the game) with his presence,” the NAACP’s local chapter said in a Facebook post on Sunday. “We respect those who choose to do so, and we fully expect some groups who will be protesting outside the game.”
The group did not say exactly where members will protest.
“We are presently working with a number of civil rights/social justice organizations and we will share additional plans as appropriate,” the NAACP said.

Let me guess, the Play by Play Commentators hate Trump almost as much as The Tide.
I don’t get it. What exactly are they protesting?
Free elections?
Please riot, please kneel, please put on a real show for middle America. I’ll be looking for the protesting turds on Periscope, or perhaps RSBC.
I think they are protesting the fact that Black Unemployment is at it’s lowest level under Trump & their savior Obama was a failure.
...take a knee against Trump” outside CNN’s world headquarters near the stadium...
Oh that will go over well.
“Refuse Fascism”....means “Accept Communism”....
While they are genuflecting his way, he should give them something that resembles a papal blessing.
They better be careful ..Trump is crazy!
They will display white flags of surrender ,,, the Snowflakes surrender in mass .
Blacks are being murdered by the thousands in Democrat run cities across America, and they want to protest President Trump.
If the players kneel, President Trump should WALK OUT.
When they protest Trump they re protesting the American way, f them!
Isn’t the NAACP funded by the gov’t???
In the end, all that they will do is destroy football. Yeah, that’s a win win for the Democrats.
I don’t have access to cable TV. I put on ESPN radio and heard Holly Rowe say “Our President Trump....” which may or may not mean too much but the inclusion of “Our” seemed positive. The announcer said “President Trump came out to mixed reactions...” I can’t say for sure through radio whether there were more cheers than jeers.
“take a knee against Trump”
This is college football.
Almost all of Alabama took a knee.
