WASHINGTON -- The Republican tax bill protects the ability of states and localities to sell tax-free municipal bonds to fund sports stadiums.
That's the tax break President Donald Trump attacked after professional football players began kneeling during the national anthem to protest police brutality in minority communities.
Why is the NFL getting massive tax breaks while at the same time disrespecting our Anthem, Flag and Country? Change tax law!

The measure was in the House Republican version of the tax bill, but failed to make it into the final version.
