Donald Trump Sings Familiar Tune After MLB Players Kneel During Anthem

Donald Trump had a predictable reaction to Major League Baseball players kneeling Monday night during the playing of the “Star-Spangled Banner.”

Players across the league knelt as the national anthem played prior to the start of exhibition games. Perhaps most notably, San Francisco Giants skipper Gabe Kapler became the first MLB manager to kneel during the anthem.

The demonstrations were, as they always have been, intended to communicate solidarity with victims of perceived racial and social injustice, as well as police brutality. Trump, who long has spoken against the protests, sang a familiar tune Tuesday morning.

Make of that what you will.

Whether Trump eventually softens his stance on this issue remains to be seen. However, given recent events, there likely will be a resurgence and/or increase in pre-anthem demonstrations across professional sports in the coming months.
