President Trump is not happy that he wasn't able to coerce the NFL into penalizing or firing its employees if they choose not to stand for the anthem.
He tweeted this out at 4 a.m. this morning.
The NFL has decided that it will not force players to stand for the playing of our National Anthem. Total disrespect for our great country!
Bad for the President, but possibly good for the team owners.
I can see the owners using their 'unity' arm locks and kneeling a couple of weeks ago + the NFL's decision to allow silent protest......in attempt to defend against allegations that they colluded to appease Trump.
ETA: Goodell is set to hold a press conference shortly.
