Podcast Episode 114: Political Football

Donald Trump tells a crowd that NFL owners should fire players who take a knee. A few days later, 25% of NFL players took a knee and some refused to take the field during the “national anthem.” One baseball players decided to take a knee as well and several NBA players took to social media to give Trump an earful. What is going on here? Several things, not the least of which is political football, or baseball, or basketball. This didn’t begin overnight. It is another lingering effect of the 1990s on America and not only that our misunderstanding of the role of government in society. I talk about all of these issues in Episode 114 of The Brion McClanahan Show.
