   Trump can *ask* and *harangue* the National Felons’ League to fire the offending players all he wants, just as any other American citizen can. What Trump (or anyone else not in NFL management) can NOT do is force the NFL or its team owners to fire or otherwise discipline the employees in question.

   And ALL of it becomes a moot question once you change the channel to something else, or turn your browser to a non-NFL site, or otherwise tune out these antics. It’s just another layer of frozen-piss icing on the shitcake.
