Even when the NFL isn’t bringing attention to the anthem issue, the President will continue to talk about it.
That’s what he did on Friday morning. Asked by FOX News Channel whether any players have accepted the President’s offer to consider whether any people who have been treated unfairly by the justice system should be pardoned or have their sentences commuted, the President gave an answer — and more.
“No, I haven鈥檛 heard,” he said Landon Collins Jersey , via Kyle Griffin of MSNBC. “You know, they鈥檙e all saying, 鈥極h, it has nothing to do with the flag, it鈥檚 the way we鈥檝e been treated.’ In the meantime, they鈥檙e making $15 million a year.”
It’s a brilliant sleight of hand Brandon Mebane Jersey , because part of what he said is accurate. The players definitely are saying, “It has nothing to do with the flag.” But the players definitely aren’t saying, “It’s the way we’ve been treated.”
The players inclined to protest during the anthem are promoting a cause far bigger than themselves. They are concerned about the manner in which American citizens making far, far less than $15 million per year (then again, most NFL players are making far, far less than $15 million per year) are treated by police officers and by the justice system.
The President downplays the concerns by pretending that the concerns relate only to multi-multi-millionaires. That’s just not the case Ty Montgomery Jersey , and no fair-minded person can reasonably see it that way.
“Look, I鈥檓 all for the athletes,” the President added. “I think it鈥檚 great. I love athletics, I love sports. But they shouldn鈥檛 get the politics involved.”
The players didn’t get politics involved. The NFL got the flag involved by forcing the players to leave the locker room for the anthem, and the NFL then got politics involved by giving players the right to protest during the anthem.
Then, politics got involved in football when the President said he’d like to see an NFL owner respond to a protesting player by saying Shareece Wright Jersey , “Get that son of a bitch off the field. He’s fired!”
The President closed with a reiteration of a broad statement that applies not only to the players but to everyone else in the venue.
