President Trump Tweets NFL Threat

President Donald Trump threatened the NFL with trying to eliminate a long-standing tax break over the issue of players kneeling during the National Anthem. Vice President Mike Pence left a Colts/49ers game early on Oct 8 after some players took a knee. The President said later he had instructed the Vice President to do so. The NFL threat came in a tweet Oct 10, one of two related to television and sports (the other slammed ESPN for low ratings). "Why is the NFL getting massive tax breaks while at the same time disrespecting our Anthem, Flag and Country? Change tax law!" the President tweeted.
