President Donald Trump has recently made comments about the NFL and its players concerning participation in the National Anthem and its relationship to Patriotism. The true message that is being sent to all Americans that actively follow the sport of football, is the lack of acknowledged prejudices law enforcement and other government entities have implemented against minorities. Taking a knee is no more disrespectful then having a shirt made from American Flag patterned clothing or showing loyalty to other flags like the confederate flag. Its not an attack on the flag because no one is protesting the symbolic yet inanimate object that is merely a symbol. Football players and citizens around the nation are protesting the senseless killings of African Americans and the discrimination of other minority groups in America. This plan to make America great again is crippling social icons like NFL players while telling immigrants they are not welcome in our country. Its ruining things on a large global scale in small ways the divisiveness in this country, is expanding with this curent administration.
