How will history judge the NFL players and Trump?

How will history judge the NFL palyers and Trump?

I don't know, but let's look at a similar situation.

I was born in 1952, so I remember Cassias Clay and later, when he became Mohammad Ali.

Ali was demonized in the press and had the President of the United States vilifying him for his stance against the Viet Nam war. He was stripped of his heavyweight boxing title and prohibited, by law, from plying his trade to earn a living.

The Supreme Court later voted 8 to 0 against the U.S Government and vindicated Ali.

History has proclaimed Mohammad Ali a hero, not only in his sport, but also as an American. And history has proclaimed Richard Nixon, who headed the government that persecuted Ali, as a fucking no good piece of shit.

I contend that History, when looking back at the NFL players and Donald Trump, will come to the same conclusion.

Maybe this new noun will go in the dictionary after much usage.
