There's reportedly one big reason why the NFL took sweeping action Wednesday in adopting a new national anthem policy prior to the start of the 2018 season.
And he resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. in Washington.
Our league is f-----g terrified of Trump. We're scared of him, one unnamed source told Bleacher Report as reaction to the plan poured in.
After a tumultuous 2017 season, which saw NFL attendance and TV ratings drop as President Trump and others criticized on-field protests by many of the league's players, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced this week that the league would fine any team or league employee if they failed to stand and show respect for the flag and the anthem.
Trump came out in support of the NFLs decision Thursday and blasted players who kneel during the anthem.
"I dont think people should be staying in the locker rooms, but still I think its good, Trump told Fox News Brian Kilmeade in an exclusive interview. You have to stand proudly for the national anthem. You shouldnt be playing, you shouldnt be there. Maybe they shouldnt be in the country.

They realize that President Trump can set off a war that is already brewing between the NFL players and the fans.
You can't go to a movie without being told that you suck.
You can't go to a concert without being told that you suck.
You can't go to school or college without being told that you suck.
You can't join the boy scouts without being told that you suck.

Why doesn’t the NFL just move to Venezuela where their kind of people live??
Those that hate this country need to go live in Africa.
They also need to learn history.
Yup. They’re scared that a lot of folks found something better to do with their time and won’t be coming back. Us included.
Exactly. Too little, and far too late. Had the NFL stomped this excrement out as soon as it started - within a game or two - by coming down hard on any kneeling players/coaches... I might have believed they were doing it because the NFL thought stopping it was the right thing to do.
The fact that they've waited until now - after seeing an ongoing PR disaster with no end in sight, lost TV/ad revenue, lost ticket and concessions revenue, lost merchandising revenue... This half-a**ed measure isn't about doing what's right, it's about their bottom line.
The NFL is obviously grudgingly, even reluctantly trying to appease me and millions of others just like me. Not happening NFL - I'm gone. I'll never watch another game, buy any more merch. I will however still be entertained by you, by watching your death throes.
Interesting choice of words
Kind of like the Titanic had a tumultuous 1st trip.
Bunch of pantywaists!
Ohhhh....I is so askeert of big bad Trump! . No, nfl bigwigs, youre askeert of losing taxpayer money. That is all
They’re scared of their players. Not Trump.
“...You can’t go to a football game without being told that you suck.
You can’t go to a movie without being told that you suck.
You can’t go to a concert without being told that you suck.
You can’t go to school or college without being told that you suck.
You can’t join the boy scouts without being told that you suck....”
Agreed. Liberalism destroys everything it touches.....EVERYTHING.
It is the BORG of this century and should be totally stamped out of our country.
It’s a chronic, no-cure mental disease that brings on insanity.
Correct...specifically the locker room situation.
He didn't look to terrified at the time.
When does the USFL start again?
Here comes the N.J. Generals...

That’s funny: Our new spectator sport is watching the NFL writhe in its death throes!
It gets better and better every day.
God Bless Trump.
MAGA!
The owners should be prepared for more losses, their new directive is half arsed and will only hurt as radical players continue to face no real penalty.
The left has a lot in common with Satanism. They are both like viruses. They infect and live off of their hosts.
They have infiltrated all of our institutions: sports, music, TV, and film in the entertainment realm; legislature, judiciary, executive branches and institutions (e.g. FBI, CIA, NSA) on the federal, state and local levels; in education: universities, colleges, and public schools; the corporate boardrooms, charities, churches, and other non-profits.
The only things they don’t infiltrate and hijack are diabolical organizations they start themselves such as Planned Parenthood. Everything else they seek to take over and steal. They take great institutions like the major universities which were founded with the main purpose of teaching students to serve God with their lives, and they turn them into entities that attack everything godly.
They’ve done the same with our once great nation. Thus, the need for MAGA.
