Drumpf ends the lull

Friday:
[I]President Donald Trump on Friday said NFL owners should fire players who take a knee during the national anthem.

“Get that son of a b---- off the field right now, out. He’s fired. He’s fired!” Trump said during a rally for Republican Senate candidate Luther Strange in Alabama.

Trump went on to suggest that NFL ratings were down because of stricter penalties on hard tackles:

[INDENT]“Because you know, today if you hit too hard - 15 yards! Throw him out of the game. They had that last week, I watched for a coupled of minutes. Two guys, just really, beautiful tackle. Boom! 15 yards. The referee goes on television, his wife’s so proud of him. They’re ruining the game! They’re ruining the game.”[/INDENT]

STATEMENT FROM NFL COMMISSIONER ROGER GOODELL
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.
