President Donald Trump started a firestorm with commentary he offered during a campaign speech in Huntsville Alabama this past Friday, September 22nd.   During that speech, he suggested that NFL owners should “fire the son of a bitch” that refused to stand for the National Anthem.  He also suggested the first owner to do that would be the most popular person the country, at least for a week.

Roger Goodell responded to the President’s comments by saying, "The NFL and our players are at our best when we help create a sense of unity in our country and our culture.  There is no better example than the amazing response from our clubs and players to the terrible natural disasters we've experienced over the last month. Divisive comments like these demonstrate an unfortunate lack of respect for the NFL, our great game and all of our players, and a failure to understand the overwhelming force for good our clubs and players represent in our communities."
