Donald Trump went on a Twitter tirade demanding NFL players who protest be suspended without pay Friday morning after a handful opted to continue their protest into the new season during Thursday night’s preseason action.
The President’s tweets were soon followed up by many, notably the response of Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan, who called out Trump for focusing on the NFL’s issues as opposed to others.
Guy who won the presidential election… how about we get a statement on the “unite the right” rally 2 being held in DC this weekend… a yr after the first one in Charlottesville??? https://t.co/uPSLYkB2z5

Jordan even went as far as to offer to buy the season tickets from a particular disgruntled Trump supporter threatening to revoke his membership and donate them to charity.
Only way to say it. What a Goober. He is who I thought he was. Guy is 70+ yr old acting out in what was once the highest respected political position, as a overly insecure prepubescent child…

I am a Saints season ticket holder. I support President Trump. I may not be a ticket holder for long if this keeps up.

Jordan, a Walter Payton Man Of The Year Award nominee, continued his rebuttal to the President’s comments.
He won’t govern himself, give him a mentor? Right, members of his cabinet left on their own accord or were dismissed accordingly… But what do I know I’m just a guy who should stick to football 🚶♂️
