The tweet is in response to a complaint about Olivier Vernon kneeling during the anthem at the Giants-Redskins game yesterday.Can you believe that the disrespect for our Country, our Flag, our Anthem continues without penalty to the players. The Commissioner has lost control of the hemorrhaging league. Players are the boss! https://t.co/udXP5MR8BC— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 24, 2017
*Setting aside the fact all players have 1st Amendment rights, and rights protected by federal law, as well as contract, that prevent team owners from punishing players for these actions. There's a reason Jerry Jones and Bob McNair and others haven't punished any players, and won't. But who is boss is paramount in Trump's concern. And, of course, who can be boss, and who can be bossed around.
