Earlier this month, President Trump signaled he was willing to postpone his increasingly hostile war with the NFL, which in part led to him canceling a celebration of the Eagles’ Super Bowl victory, to hear from the players who protested racial injustice during the national anthem.
“I’m going to ask them to recommend to me people who were unfairly treated,” Trump told reporters outside the White House. “I am going to ask all of those people to recommend to me – because that’s what they’re protesting – people that they think were unfairly treated by the justice system,”
On Thursday, four of those players responded.
