Yall’s president is known for making a splash in the media. This time, using his platform to discuss his disdain for NFL players like Colin Kaepernick who choose to protest the national anthem by kneeling.
During a rally in Alabama, Trump made the controversial statement: Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL coaches…when somebody disrespects our flag to say ‘get that son of a b—ch off the field?’
Trump’s statement rang all throughout the media, so much that Diddy took a moment from CBC festivities (?) to give a word of encouragement to players:
The message, heard loud and clear, inspired one of the greatest political moments in NFL history, as players kneel and unite in solidarity around the world:
