I think it more of an example of President Trump inadvertently sidetracking his own goals. Using Teddy Roosevelt and the Rough Riders as an analogy. Rather then leading us up San Juan Hill and winning a big prize (tax reform, repeal of Obamacare, the revocation of Hillary’s Russian uranium deal, the investigation of Hillary, Bill, Obama, and the Clinton Foundation, the building of the wall) we are instead hooting and hollering as we ride willy nilly up Mouse Poop Mound (Making NFL players stand during the Pledge of Allegiance).
Get a clue. It’s not about the player protests.
