Fumble

"The pregame kneel has now become a spectacle of resistance, with dramatic gestures of white players joining black ones to oppose the crude attacks from the great orange bigot. Fans who might have complained before about politics being inserted into football—as if the bloated displays of military might attached to the NFL were not a form of politics—could no longer miss that Trump was now more likely than anybody else to politicize the game."

Jonathan Chait at New York writes about "How Trump Bungled the Politics of Football."
