President Donald Trump just can’t keep his Twitter fingers from working overtime. The head of state has once again lit up the social media giant with applause for NFL commissioner Roger Goodell for telling all players they must stand during the National Anthem.

Trump hit up Twitter Wednesday (October 11) to salute Goodell.

This week, rap stars T.I. and Diddy spoke up in light of the NFL drama.

This week, G.O.O.D. Music’s Common shared his issues with Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones threatening punishment for any of his players which protest the National Anthem.

“I think some people who feel like what’s going on with the kneeling and the anthem, it’s a form of, you gotta acknowledge what Francis Scott, when he wrote the Anthem, acknowledge all the verses, acknowledge the stuff where it’s talking about enslaving people and then think about how the people like black people how we feel that that’s at the core of what that National Anthem is, right? … To me it’s an owner mentality. It’s like a slave owner mentality, to be honest. Like, ‘You gonna do what I say on this.’ Nobody disrespecting the job, they’re not on the job saying disrespectful things, they’re just saying this is how I want to place my body during this anthem.” (TMZ)

This week, former NFL superstar Shannon Sharpe unleashed his emotions over Jones’ remarks.
