stick to sports. what we re seeing today is professional athletes all across the spectrum saying, no. we are not bound to stick to sports. if we are attacked. if you de grade us, talk take personal attacks, talk about our mothers. if we feel the communities we care deeply about contribute our energy and talents to entertain and our money to support, are attacked, we have the right to say something. and it is not okay for the president or for any private employer to try to abridge the right of any pro-fegs nat athlete or any independent contractor to be able to make whatever statement that they want to make. you don t have the right to do that in this country. i do want to talk about the bigger picture here, because it s not just the nfl that we are talking about today. but the president also picking a fight with steph curry and the warriors essentially turning them away from coming to visit the white house which is standard because steph curry said he might not want to go.
