problem of blacks feeling like they are treated unfairly as Kaepernick, who started it, felt it was doing. He did have a right to do it though. He was expressing his right to more or less make a statement. Trump on the other hand, apparently broke a law by saying that the owners should fire these guys. If he had just said that he thought it was wrong, then that would be an "opinion."

There is a difference between saying it is wrong and saying the owners should fire these guys.

I happen to agree with Trump in that I think it is wrong to do this, but it was wrong (illegal) for him to suggest firing.

I hope you understand what I am saying. As president, he has to follow laws and apparently he broke one.
