President Trump

For decades, student-athletes that were competing for the United States Military Academies had to complete their active duty military service time before they could pursue their professional athletic careers. Some famous ones over the past few decades have been NBA Hall of Famer David Robinson, former New York Giants wide receiver Phil McConkey as well as Dallas Cowboys legendary quarterback, Roger Staubach. McConkey spent 5 years as a Navy helicopter pilot before he put the shoulder pads back on. Well, a new New York Jets player may have helped change that situation.

Love him or hate him, last night's State of the Union Address by President Trump delivered moments that reminded me how great America can be, and how great it really is.  One moment in particluar stood out, and I don't care what side of the political ledger you're on, if the incredible story of North Korean defector Ji Seong-ho didn't touch you, nothing will.

As more and more people continue to weigh in on their thoughts about players "taking a knee" during the national anthem on various social media platforms, some New York restaurants have already told their customers they won't be showing NFL games.  Are you a local bar/restaurant owner that plans on supporting President Trump's request to boycott the NFL?

The NFL was dominated this weekend with talk of player protests after President Trump shared his very passionate thoughts about NFL players not standing for the National Anthem. I'm curious to get your thoughts. When players "take a knee" how does it make you feel; is it their right or is is disrespectful? Perhaps it's both.
