Mark Leibovich: Trump May Not Have Gotten into the NFL But He’s Been Living in Their Heads

RUSH EXCERPT:

LEIBOVICH: "They care so much about what he thinks. As part of the reporting, we have a tape of a meeting between a bunch of owners and a bunch of players. Right at the height of the anthem crisis last year. And to hear these owners saying what is Donald going to do next? We have to stop them. We can’t trigger him. You get a sense that even though Donald Trump has been trying to get into the NFL for several decades, he might not be in their club but he’s living in their heads. And these are supporters of his anyways, the owner of the patriots, the owner of the bills. It was quite striking and I don’t think they had any clue how to handle."
