    I am pretty sure they knew, and wanted people to be watching... right or wrong, it is the point of protesting

    Sorry - wrong memory. You can have a whisk, but only if you are 18.

    Still waiting for the NFL/NBA players Big Protest of the black on black genocide taking place on our streets DAILY..I mean, if "black lives REALLY matter".

    It appears that only "black lives that can be blamed on white people" matter...not surprisingly.

    How did kneeling change anything for the better? The NFL lost fans and a lot of money and made the players out to be spoiled and unpatriotic.Trump has challenged them to actually do something to help by submitting names of incarcerated people who have received unjust treatment, so that the White House can investigate their cases. Let's see if the players care enough to do that, or if they can't be bothered.
    As for inviting pro teams to the White House, I would NOT. They don't deserve or appreciate the honor.

    Wow! Think for yourself and resist being brainwashed. That is a ridiculous thing to write. What did Obama ever do for Blacks? Welfare numbers INCREASED. Food stamp numbers INCREASED. Black unemployment was high. Under Trump, that has changed for the better. Stop listening to Democrats who will say anything for a vote. Look at the facts and not their lies...

    And you don't just think it was mis-labeled?
    It's a contentious enough issue without people spreading untruths about it.

    The teams likely won’t care and go right back to their daily lives without worrying.

    There is a simple fix, each team calculates the revenue lost due to the kneelers and reduce their compensation by that amount in their next contracts.

    Sure, by a margin of about 3 to 5.

    Even if I accept that everything you say is a fact, its not as if Trump went out of his way to specifically help black people. He just made general changes that effect everyone and black people happen to fit into the subset of everyone. Bringing up Obama is also irrelevant, this is about Trump.

    The fact is Trump hesitated to condemn these people, and in politics when you hesitate to condemn something that is a no-brainer to condemn, it means you actually support that thing and wish to not have to speak against it. Whether he hesitated to condemn them because he personally identifies with them in some way or he hesitated because he is aware of the makeup of his support base and wasnt sure if a condemnation would lose him supporters is a question I can't answer. Either way, hes no friend of black people and pointing out all the blanket plusses that incidentally effect black people along with everyone else in the country is not an effective counter argument.

    There's no way to know - it's getting very weird in your country. Let's say I didn't find it hard to believe.

    Where do you get your info? This is why the term "fake news" was coined. Goebbals said that if a lie is repeated often enough, people begin to believe it's true. You really should be leery of anything that MSM says. They present their "news" in an angry way every day. They never say anything positive. That should be a clue to you. And Obama did nothing for Blacks, and he had 8 years. Trump has done so much more in less than 2 years. Why don't you give him a chance?
