A lot of players, team owners, and commissioners have spoken out against Donald Trump’s comments against players who have been peacefully protesting to make a better change in their communities. He stated that they “disrespect the flag” and that the NFL owners should “tell them to get off the team”.

Michael Jordan spoke out and in his statement offered support to Commissioner Adam Silver, NBA players, and anyone else who are or wish to exercise their right to free speech.

“One of the fundamental rights this country is founded on was freedom of speech, and we have a long tradition of nonviolent, peaceful protest. Those who exercise the right to peacefully express themselves should not be demonized or ostracized.

“At a time of increasing divisiveness and hate in this country, we should be looking for ways to work together and support each other and not create more division.

“I support Commissioner Adam Silver, the NBA, its players and all those who wish to exercise their right to free speech.”

What are your thoughts on this whole fiasco Donald Trump has begun?
