NFL Commissioner Just Made Sudden Announcement Hours After Trump Threatened His Tax Breaks - POLITICS NEWS
As the controversy continues to swirl around the NFL and the national anthem protests, the financial consequences are beginning to develop. Over the past several weeks, the ratings for the NFL have dropped, and it is reported that some sponsors have started to pull their advertisements. And, all of this could have been avoided if NFL commissioner Roger Goodell would mandate that player stand and respect the national anthem. However, that has not been the case, but that seems to be about to change after what Goodell announced earlier today.  

A few weeks ago, the NFL controversy reached a fever pitch when President Trump entered the fray saying that the players who were kneeling during the anthem were being disrespectful. Instead of the NFL players listening to how their protest was perceived and reevaluate their social justice warrior stance they only ramped up their efforts. On that following Sunday, entire NFL teams decided to take a knee during the “Star Spangled Banner” or opted to stay inside their locker room.

Apparently, these misguided players thought that this stunning display of defiance would win over more fans, but they were wrong. In fact, their disgusting antics only brought on more criticism not just from the fans but also from President Trump, and Vice President Mike Pence.

So, on Tuesday President Trump took his criticism one step further by asking on Twitter why the league is getting tax breaks but refuses to enforce players to stand for the national anthem.Good question. Why do they get tax breaks from the government that they claim to hate so much? Well, that question must have gotten under Goodell’s skin because shortly thereafter, he appeared to have a change of heart.
