The past weekend was rather rough in the comments here at Niners Nation. Following Donald Trump’s comments about NFL protests, reaction was swift, and something we covered over throughout the weekend, and into this week. At times, the comments reflected the heightened emotions currently in the country.
The National Anthem protests started 13 months ago with Colin Kaepernick, and we have covered the topic in detail since then. Throughout this time, we have generally left the comments open for discussion. At times it is impressive how rational the discourse has been. At times, it has gotten ugly.
