They have been led to believe that they were disrespecting Trump - not the flag. But they were disrespecting the flag, period...not justifiable regardless of their feelins for the President.
And it started last year with Krappernick and his racist ranting.
Piss on them. Piss on them all.
To HELL with the NFL.
It's not just the flag or Trump they are disrespecting. It is also most whites in this nation they are disrespecting.
