Now Villanueva has the highest-selling jersey and the Steelers are all scrambling to do damage control. They say they'll all be out for the anthem next week (not that I'll be watching anymore). Lots of people posting videos of burning their Steelers stuff. This really hurt them. Didn't hurt Trump at all, at least not in flyover country, and he knows it.
This racist bullshit by Trump is going to blow up in his face. It has already spread to the NBA and it will filter down to the college and high school level too.
It has not spread to the NBA. All that's happened is the Warriors deciding not to go to the White House, then Lebron tried to make things about him by speaking for Steph Curry because Lebron knows he'll never make it back to the Finals himself, thus he'll never have the chance to turn down a White House invitation from Trump. I'm not saying Lebron was wrong in what he said, but he really should let Steph Curry speak for himself. I also think Lebron was probably thinking, watch me own Trump on Twitter, then I won't get any criticism when I fail to do what Kaepernick did and take a knee during the anthem before my games. Will Lebron take a knee every game and take the fine and whatever other consequences come with that? I doubt it.
