In any event, it's none of Trump's business and a president telling a business owner who to fire/punish is simply out of bounds.

No, there's no difference, accept the owners and the league mistakenly have chosen to tolerate this behavior. They've done so at the expense of their fans, and have reaped the media firestorm that has followed. If Jed York had pulled Kap aside and directed him to stop making political displays in his workplace when this first started, you'd probably still have some liberals screaming about York's denial of "free speech" and racism". But they'd be just as wring them as they (you) are now.

You probably believe that the march over the Edmund Pettus bridge in Selma was a protest against bridges.

You won't have a hard time convincing me that that you're a heartless bastard as you continue to politicize Vegas and continue your flawed and cynical comparison.
