What a time to be alive. Donald Trump continues his war of words with figures in the sports world, firing off a series of tweets directed at LaVar Ball, Marshawn Lynch and the NFL on Wednesday morning.
The president took to Twitter to fire off his morning tantrum, mainly focused on his hurt feelings.
Trump isn’t happy that he’s not getting all of the credit for freeing LiAngelo Ball and his two UCLA basketball teammates, so he unloaded on “ungrateful fool” LaVar once again.
This is what the president of the United States woke up thinking about the day before Thanksgiving:
It wasn’t the White House, it wasn’t the State Department, it wasn’t father LaVar’s so-called people on the ground in China that got his son out of a long term prison sentence – IT WAS ME. Too bad! LaVar is just a poor man’s version of Don King, but without the hair. Just think..

The NFL is now thinking about a new idea – keeping teams in the Locker Room during the National Anthem next season. That’s almost as bad as kneeling! When will the highly paid Commissioner finally get tough and smart? This issue is killing your league!…..

Who gave this man access to 280 characters?
If that wasn’t bad enough, Trump then turned his attention to the NFL protests which his base still somehow doesn’t understand. Trump addressed the situation with a message for “Beast Mode” and Roger Goodell.

In case you were wondering, no, it’s not a new idea.
This would simply allow the league to go back to the way things were before paid patriotism became a thing back in 2009.
