I think I finally figured the NFL thing out a few days ago
I saw this article a few days ago about how Trump has been trying to buy an NFL team for decades, but he keeps getting rejected. That seems to be the genesis of his animosity.
Here's a tweet from 2014: Wow. @nfl ratings are down big league. Glad I didn't get the Bills. Rather be lucky than good.
I thought the ratings decline was related to the national anthem? Hmmm...
It's almost like Trump is a vindictive, petty person, and will go scorched earth on anyone who doesn't give him what he wants. This NFL garbage isn't about race, or supporting our troops, or patriotism. It's about a petty, thin-skinned billionaire who didn't get the NFL team he wanted. So now he's attacking the league.
It would be nice to just ignore his craziness, but it's hard when 30-35% of the country believes his nonsense.
