re: It is beginning to look like some NFL Owners put Trump up to this attack

No, he's boxing them in. They want so badly to demonstrate that hes wrong but doing so would require them to cut the shite which would make trump look good. If they double down the perception is that trump is right and they're afraid

Also Goodell "facilitated" a meeting between players and coaches. So much for unity. The NFL is in defcon1 and they have no one with the ability to manage a public relations crisis

And they're waaaay out of their league with Trump
