After a week three of the NFL season where the dominating storyline was Donald Trump’s divisive statements and the reaction of players protesting his statements it will be interesting to see if week four of the NFL season gets back to the game itself. I suppose this depends on Trump as he does not seem inclined to back down from his fight with NFL players. As recently as Tuesday morning Trump tweeted:
The NFL has all sorts of rules and regulations. The only way out for them is to set a rule that you can’t kneel during our National Anthem!
