"Here’s hoping Donald Trump was taking notes on the selfless nature of true brotherhood", sorry Kiz, I believe the opposite.  The players put politics on the field, the President is putting pride in your country first.  Players are now standing in large part because the President said what many of us believe.  I turned the channel during the anthem of the Buffalo game.  Before last Sunday, the only NFL I watched was the Broncos.  Now, I have 3.5 more productive hours every Sunday.
