Why the NFL and NBA loses this fight

Donald J. Trump is therefore carrying the banner for the fifty-nine million Americans who voted for him. Not because we follow him, on the contrary, he listened to us and again he got our train.

Every Liberal organizer and strategist understands optics, the political science of designing issues to look best for your Political side’s interests.

It’s astonishing to see America’s Left’s ignorance as to how they look to Americans regarding their ”take a knee protests”. Sure in the minds of the NFLPA, which is the NFL’s players union (who is actually orchestrating this League wide “take a knee” effort) they are only virtue signaling to their popular culture homies. The message? “Hey we wanted Hillary to win too! We don’t accept Trump as a legitimate President.” “After all, even though there is no proof, we believe the Russians hacked the election and give Trump the presidency.”

Every sports figure that has refused to go to the White House during president Trump’s term is taking a knee, every sports star, owner or coach that makes a negative interview commit about the president is taking a knee. It’s divisive and it’s virtue signaling!

What the Left seems to be missing is in 2016 the American electorate had eight years of your greatest orator, Barack Hussein Obama, Obama made the Left's best case for fundamentally changing America. By hook or by crook Democrats attempted to do just that by undermining traditional American values.

But in 2016 the American people revolted against those ideas. Seeing that revolt Donald J. Trump got on our train and rode passed eleven to twelve Republican primary presidential wanna-bes and then defeated the greatest political scam artist in American history, Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Donald J. Trump is therefore, carrying the banner for the fifty-nine million Americans who voted for him. Not because we follow him, on the contrary, he listened to us and again he got our train.

So what are the optics? The optics are President Trump is standing up for America and the American people when he speaks about the NFL players disrespecting America. We see kneelers acting in ways that disrespect America.

On the other hand, Kneelers see themselves as disrespecting a president whom they don’t see as a legitimate president. Therefore they are permitted to do or say anything disrespectful against him.

President Trump defending the American idea. Kneelers disrespecting a dully elected president.

Yeah, the NFL and the NBA loses on those optics all day long and Democrats lose on those optics in the election years 2018 and 2020!
