President Donald Trump escalated the national anthem controversy during a 2017 rally in Alabama by calling for protesting players to be fired, using the phrase "get that son of a bitch off the field." This sparked a league-wide wave of solidarity protests involving players and owners. The discussion suggests Trump used the controversy as a political deflection during the Roy Moore special election and as a way to attack a league he had long-standing personal grievances against.

George Soros and his Open Society Institute have funneled millions into BlackPAC to mobilize black voters in key elections, such as the Alabama special election between Doug Jones and Roy Moore. BlackPAC, led by Adrienne Shropshire, spent over $600,000 on canvassing and mailers during that race. Critics question the motives of wealthy non-black donors funding black political action committees and the impact this has on the actual black agenda.
