The social-justice protests and public spats that typified Trump’s first term have given way to a flurry of fist pumps and hip shimmies. Players who support the president-elect are “starting to come out of the woodwork,” says one former football star.
That weekend, Trump had launched a series of broadsides at the country’s most popular sports league. He ripped Colin Kaepernick and other players who kneeled during the playing of the national anthem to protest racial injustice and police brutality, calling on NFL owners to get rid of anyone who “disrespects the flag.” Trump asserted that such demonstrations were why the league’s television ratings had dipped. The NFL responded forcefully, determined to present a unified front.
West Virginia University quarterback Nicco Marchiol did it after finding pay dirt against Cincinnati earlier this month, prompting Trump to share a clip on social media. Nick Bosa, the star defensive end for the San Francisco 49ers, offered his own interpretation of the move after recording a sack against the Buccaneers in one of the first games after the election––one day after he drew a fine for brandishing a “Make America Great Again” cap while crashing a live postgame television interview.
