First of all, this "progressive" retard doesn't know the difference between fascism and authoritarianism; this has nothing to do with State ownership or regulation over a private sports league.
Second, NFL players have a code of conduct, including expected behavior during the playing of the national anthem. We pro-liberty accept constraints as part of voluntary work contracts; they might include things like dress codes, drug policies, professional behavior, etc. For decades, the opening ceremonies, including the anthem, have been part of football where players, with differing political views, made their statement on the field of play, not on the sidelines, prioritizing their beliefs over the game. Fans paid good money to watch a game, not attend a political rally.
Third, Trump's opinions have no legal bearing on owner decisions.
