Trump was dodging the draft by claiming that bone spurs stopped him from serving his country in uniform. And yet this crippling condition didn’t stop the spoiled Ivy League student from playing football, tennis and golf

Bone spurs don't have to be crippling. Bone spurs are a reason military service can be denied (like many other seemingly trivial issues). Many people plays sports with bone spurs, I have. This article is full of sarcastic and derogatory adjectives.

A bone spur is usually visible on an X-ray. But since most bone spurs do not cause problems, it would be unusual to take an X-ray just to see whether you have a bone spur. If you had an X-ray to evaluate one of the problems associated with bone spurs, such as arthritis, bone spurs would be visible on that X-ray.
