Josh Norman says Trump isn't welcome in D.C.

Gosh Josh, have some courage and stand
for something bigger than you

Since the political correctness gurus are fighting to change the name of the NFL team known as the Washington Redskins, because George Washington was a slave owner and redskins is a derogatory term for native Americans, I will call the team "America's Capital Native American Footballers?

Joshua Norman, a player on America's Capital Native American Footballers, says that the President of the United States of America is not welcome in Washington D.C. the District of Columbia. 

After Norman's team handily beat the suck-worthy Oakland Raiders on "Sunday Night Football," he had a message for Trump. This came on the heels of the president saying that players who kneel during the National Anthem are "sons of bitches," which now involved the parents of the players and was probably not the best way to handle the controversy.

Trump also said that the owners should fire the players who kneel--another statement that a president ought to be making--a boycott is a better statement and the president should not get involved with free enterprise--that's my opinion.

Norman spoke in detail Sunday and got a bit misty when discussing the moment he heard what Trump said. 

The trouble is, President Trump should not have allowed himself to get into the mud with these protesters. Now the situation has escalated and has become more about Trump than about the original reason athletes have taken a knee during the National Anthem.

In fact, I suspect if you ask the players why they've decided to take a knee, some will have no idea. One player, whose name is unimportant because he is unimportant, decided not to take a knee during the Anthem, but to do his pre-game stretching. That's the height of disrespect of the National Anthem itself because it makes no other statement other than disrespect for the moment.

I am not watching tonight's game nor will I watch any NFL or NBA games until this is over. They have the right to kneel, I have the right to do my stretching exercises instead of watching a bunch of millionaires pretend to have moral superiority over me.

I believe a lot of people will not boycott the games because they will put their recreational needs ahead of their principles. But I really hope I'm wrong.
