Sports Headlines with Tony Renteria: Trump tells Fox News that owners need to do something about players taking a knee

sports illustrated cover/twitter screen shots: Cover from Sports Illustrated and tweets sent out by Curry

On the Sports Headlines with Tony:

1 The cover of Sports Illustrated has the Oakland A’s Bruce Maxwell, the Baltimore Ravens owner, Warriors coach Steve Kerr, the Cavs LeBron, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, and the Warriors Stephen Curry locking arms but there was one person missing from the photo. It was Curry who was asked at practice what he thought of former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick missing from the front cover and he replied “terrible.” Sports Illustrated said the reason why Kaepernick is out of the cover photo collage was because he is no longer in the sports arena.

2 The question now is with all the teams and sports getting in on taking a knee during the national anthem will this open the door for Kaepernick to be welcomed back into the NFL?

3 Trump told Fox News that the NFL has to do something about the players taking a knee and that the NFL is afraid of the players. Doing something would create a huge problem if management orders the players to stop taking a knee. That’s not going to happen the players have lots of leverage and with freedom of speech any order like that won’t even get started.

4 Trump claimed in the interview that he talked to a couple of football owners saying something has to be done to stop these players from taking a knee. New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft said that he’s behind his team and he’s not the only owner to state so.

5 Playboy founder Hugh Hefner is remembered not only for a magazine for it’s playmates, celebrated articles of politics, music, pop culture, interviews, insightful reviews of entertainment but also it covered a lot on the NFL and wanted to reach out to it’s mostly male audience in it’s prime time era of the 1960s, 70s, an 90s.
