Please, Mr. Trump, I’m on bended knee.Please, Mr. Trump, quit acting like a talk-show host and start acting like the president of the United States.When it comes to NFL players and NFL teams taking a knee in protest before their football games, I’m pretty much like most Americas.I was appalled at what quarterback Colin Kaepernick did last year when he decided to remain seated during the national anthem.In his head, Kaepernick was protesting what he claims is the ongoing oppression of people of color in America by police. Fine.But most of the country interpreted it differently.They saw a privileged, highly paid pro athlete disrespecting the American flag and those who served under it in battle.Kaepernick has paid a high personal price for his principles. He’s now unemployed -- and apparently unemployable.Though not a superstar, he’s probably better than half a dozen no-name backup quarterbacks in the NFL.Yet his pre-game troublemaking and the bad publicity he’s created for himself and the league has clearly kept him from being picked up by a team that could use him.No owner wants to have to deal with him or the negative attention that comes with him.
