REACTIONS TO TRUMP

“Divisive comments like these demonstrate an unfortunate lack of respect for the NFL, our great game and all of our players.” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell

“The peaceful demonstrations by some of our players have generated a wide array of responses. Those opinions are protected speech and a freedom that has been paid for by the sacrifice of men and women throughout history.” DeMaurice Smith, executive director of NFL Players Association

“U bum @StephenCurry30 already said he ain’t going! So therefore ain’t no invite. Going to White House was a great honor until you showed up!” LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers

“The behavior of the President is unacceptable and needs to be addressed. If you do not Condemn this divisive Rhetoric you are Condoning it!!” Richard Sherman of the Seattle Seahawks

“Steph very well thought, and eloquently presented. Thank you for speaking for the majority. A Mr October tip of the cap.” Baseball Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson

“It’s ok @warriors, in a few months @realDonaldTrump probably won’t be able to visit the White House either.” Robin Lopez, Bulls center and former Stanford player via Twitter

“That’s why this is the best country in the world. And that’s why I want to be in this country for the rest of my life because you have freedom of speech and it shouldn’t go away.” Buffalo Sabres goalie Robin Lehner, a Swede who wore a Trump sticker on the back of his goalie mask in November
