order simply disrespecting the flag, but about social injustice, a dispute about the justice system and police brutality. what s notable here is that though president trump argues that his players have a difficult time defining exactly what they re protesting, he revealed earlier this year that he clearly understands their motives. i want you to listen to this sound bite from president trump in june. we have a great country you. should stand for our national anthem. you shouldn t go in a locker room when our national anthem playing. i m going ask all of those people to recommend to me, because that s what they re proegt, people that they think were unfairly treated by the justice system. and i understand that. and i m going ask them to recommend to me people that were unfairly treated, friends of theirs or people that they know about, and i m going to take a look at those applications. a
