Trump mocks tougher NFL Concussion Rules

As the parent of a student/athlete that plays Soccer I find his statements deplorable. tRump's comments belittle the seriousness and complications that students and professional athletes can suffer from even minor head injuries.

He's mocked the old, the disabled, people in locker rooms, babies, women, vets, parents of vets, reporters, pageant contestants.......now the NFL (these remarks will likely ensure that he'll never own a team, thankfully, can you imagine if that nutbag bought your team?)

Who's left for him to go after in the next three weeks? I don't have proof, but I assume he's already gone after teachers, union workers, drivers, and medical personnel.

But they are holding up signs bragging that they are deplorable, so good luck with that.
