This morning on 9-24-17, Donald Trump took to twitter saying that NFL players who kneel during the national anthem should be fired. The response was both respectful and rebellious. Many players kneeled. Entire teams locked arms and some stayed in the locker room entirely during the national anthem. Roger Goodell, commisioner of the NFL, said that Trump's remarks were "divisive" and "showed a lack of respect."
I think that people should be able to protest peacefully because the United States Constitution grants people the freedom of speech under the 1st amendment.

I'm not really sure what President Trump is on about this time, but i'm sure it's a bunch of bs. peaceful protest is PEACEFUL, so i'm not sure what the problem is.
ReplyDeleteTrump is blowing this way out of PROPORTION!! It was a peaceful protest against Police Brutality in this country. This issue has been not been resolved yet and it is a right to protest its in the constitution therefore they were exercising their rights.
