Some owners then dug a deeper hole by joining their players.
Fact is, most fans see the actions of the players as disrespectful. For the owners to join them exacerbates the situation. If this continues, more and more fans will be alienated, and Trump will have had nothing to do with it. If the NFL had done what the NBA is doing - getting ahead of this - we wouldn't even be having this discussion

Trump had nothing to do with the NFL and the owners mishandling this whole thing. |
Trump cannot govern, he cannot keep his staff together and cannot get any legislation passed. If you think the the tax cuts are going to go through, think again.
The only thing Trump is good at is energizing his shrinking base and his go to theme is race baiting. After all his eight years of Obama birther experience paid dividends and why not go back to something that has worked for him.
Unfortunately as much as his base still worships him, they are ill educated and ignorant to realize that their will being is not in his playbook.
As to NFL, it is equal parts envy and convenience with 70% black players and I am guessing 90% white audience. Majority of Americans support the players cause, otherwise the owners would be giving the players marching orders. It's common sense.
