Both the NFL and the NBA are sports in which the vast majority of the players are black and the vast majority of owners are white. And our brave soldiers didn't fight and die so that everyone stood during the national anthem. But it's impossible to conclude that after Charlottesville, Trump is totally ignorant of the racial context in which his remarks on the NFL and NBA land. As I noted above, both the NFL and NBA are majority black. And those refusing to stand during the national anthem are, with one exception, also all black.
