You're so sad. Of course the week 3 protests were directed at Trump. You claimed that the protests were "Trump's fault". No, they were the players making an idiotic political statement, choosing their place of work to do it, and the timing of the statement, the National Anthem, couldn't have been worse.

Now, you claim that my statements are somehow "defending" Trump. That's your highly myopic perspective and your own "cognitive dissonance". I'm simply looking at what the players are doing and, like many fans who showed up at the games during weeks 1 - 3 this year, criticizing it. But, I'm sure you'll continue to spin my comments in whatever manner suits you.
