    Anyone remember that photo from when he visited a kids centre / home with the two cuddly toys placed in a compromised / sexual position? Kim that it. Funny!

    Looks like an on one knee movement starting, owners, players black and white uniting. Stevie Wonder too. All privileged though, unlike hard working, knuckles to the bone Trump.

    It's quite easy to see Trump through the prism of latent racism lashing out after first 'black' president.

    Escalating now, Steelers won't even take the pitch during the anthem this evening. Still, he's made much of UK twitter sit up and take an interest in the NFL.......

    Is the main question why they play the national anthem before every game?

    It's the U.S. of A.
    The anthem gets played before everything.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Average pace of action is higher during the anthem than during the game.

    The sport best suited to the highlights package.

    Try going to a US sports event and not standing for the anthem.

    Even in NYC.

    Honestly, wouldn't surprise me if you get escorted out.

    Naa, never stood at any that I've been to, not felt awkward or noticed a look from anyone.

    I expect it might be different some places though.

    Don't most schools have everyone sing it every morning? May be just some.

    It is just some lyrics chucked on the melody of a very old pop song isn't it?

    You didn't stand for the US anthem in the US during a sports event?

    Braver man than me.

    No, I never have, but I've only been to half a dozen, I wouldn't stand for ours either, I just find it weird.

    I don't recall standing for the anthem at the sports events I've been to in the US.

    Christ, I was a bit slow out of my seat once in NYC and the guy next to me made it quite clear that if I didn't stand up he'd make sure I'd not be able to stand for another..!

    Well yeah.

    I was on my own and, as you can probably work out, I'm gobby and opinionated enough that through experience, I have a fairly good idea of battles I am going to win and lose.

    This was not one that was either worth fighting nor one I would likely win.

    Many of Trump's team including his daughter have been using private email addresses for official business. The very thing he called on Clinton to be jailed for doing. Oops!

    Don't worry - Trumpy is nothing if not fair. He'll soon be tweeting about "Crooked Ivanka"......

    Report I read said there was no evidence of Ivanka using their new private server for Whitehouse business.

    Jared Kushner, lots of evidence.

    "Crooked Jared" then. He does seem remarkably thick that one.......
