Colin Kaepernick Fires Back at Trump, NFL Owners for Violating Federal Law

Trump, Pence and other totalitarians' pursuit of 
against NFL players is a violation of a federal
criminal statutes, notes attorney Mark Geragos.

The white supremacist Trump adminstration accelerated its war against the First Amendment and American black and brown people generally by plainly violating federal law in its targeting of Americans who do not stand for the National Anthem.

The Trump adminstration has now repeatedly taken the side of the NFL owners in a concerted bid to silence NFL players silently voicing solidarity with police victims, justice, equality, liberty and truth by kneeling when the national anthem is played before NFL games.

The NFL Players Association executive director, DeMaurice Smith, notes the totalitarian nature of the actions of Trump and NFL owners making policy without consulting the NFL players.

History has taught us that both patriotism and protest are like water; if the force is strong enough it cannot be suppressed. Today, the CEO’s of the NFL created a rule that people who hate autocracies should reject.
