The NFLPA is wrong. It is not able President Trump. All he did was voice what millions of people were thinking and saying. Only the players didn't care that they were alienating the people who had previously supported them. The owners wised up to the tanking ratings, the lower ticket and merchandise sells, and the complaints from their advertisers who were getting complaints from people who have purchase power.
Every NFL player could have held kneel downs all summer long. Media would have covered them. They could have invited people to come kneel with them for an hour or so. That would have reached some. Kneeling during the anthem is only to turn your average fan/viewer/supporter off. They don't have this issue in college football because the players are in the tunnels.
