Trump questions NFL, Roger Goodell after commissioner's 'Black Lives Matter' statement

President Donald Trump has volleyed his inevitable response to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell for a statement pronouncing Black Lives Matter and admitting the league was “wrong” in its handling of player protests.

Late Sunday night, the president took to Twitter and questioned Goodell’s statement, specifically asking if it meant that the league would allow players to protest during the national anthem. Calling the practice “disrespecting” toward the U.S. and its flag in the tweet, the president has long been critical of the protests used by players to peacefully call out racial inequality and police brutality in America.

The president also felt the need to elaborate on the word “kneel,” spelled out in all caps, adding “not to stand.”

Trump’s question had essentially been asked and answered in Goodell’s statement, in which the commissioner said the NFL would “encourage all to speak out and peacefully protest.”

"Could it be even remotely possible..." "..intimating that..." And he never uses complexly-structured sentences like this unless they are accidental run-on sentences.

They are really flying blind now, going far out on a llmb, whatever analogy you want to use.
