I’ll never forget the NFL spokesman Joe Lockhart - Clinton’s former press secretary - saying that Trump was the guy out of touch.
Many fans had already stopped watching before this year's protests. My husband had become more and more frustrated with NFL recruiting thugs, and crazy rules over the years. He stopped watching last year when they allowed Kaepernick to protest during the National Anthem. We know several others that stopped watching then too.
Before all the backlash about the protests this year I read article after article about the NFL trying to figure out why they had lost fans. Excuse after excuse... Talk about out of touch!
I’ll never forget the NFL spokesman Joe Lockhart - Clinton’s former press secretary - saying that Trump was the guy out of touch.

NFL spokesman Joe Lockhart said Monday that NFL players who link arms and speak out on social issues represent the best of this country, a direct rebuke of President Trump’s remarks that led to 28 teams protesting in one form or another during Sunday’s slate of games.
“Everyone should know, including the president, that this is what real locker room talk is,” said Lockhart, referencing the Access Hollywood tape that came to light last October in which Trump talked of grabbing women by their genitals and later defending it as “locker room talk.”
It all started when Trump said this at a rally on Friday night: “Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, ‘Get that son of a bitch off the field right now. Out. He’s fired. He’s fired!”
Lockhart, a former press secretary for President Clinton, called Sunday’s protests, “an important day in the NFL and we think a good one.”
Last but not least, they continue to underestimate Trump’s deplorables re backing our our President and smashing his enemies using our $’s as boycotts.
