This is some real propaganda bullshit right here. Who thought it was okay?

During the LSU vs CLEM playoffs tonight, they brought President Trump and his wife Melania on the field for the singing of the national anthem.

So, keeping politics out of sports is the thing, huh.

Got it.

As when Trump attended 2017 college championship game, he stands on field for National Anthem. In '17, he did so amid controversy of his criticism of Colin Kaepernick's protest; Trump left at halftime of that game and missed dramatic Tua-led comeback win for Alabama. pic.twitter.com/QwsE2pgtuP

How is producing a campaign ad for Donald Trump consistent with ESPN 'sticking to sports'?

allowing Trump to play at dictator is so very much on brand for the NCAA, which basically treats black children like slaves who's job it is to entertain with their physical feats
