The President (I capitalized the P when speaking about the POTUS) and Congress give them tax exempt status. If a company does not want government scrutiny, then don't accept tax exempt status. But they do so the President alluded to taking away that status. President Trump's comment caused Mr Goodell to finally get a backbone because he knew the NFL would fold.
Your definition of unAmerican is what's scary and you probably vote. Your last statement doesn't even make enough sense so I can disect it.
President Trump bringing attention to this issue will fix the problem. Mr Goodell knows he's not dealing with a red line in the sand President. The kneelers in the NFL will either get in line or get out. That's what the viewers want. We don't want politics in sports. Next, we need to get the commentators to keep their political views to themselves. Just comment on the game.
