I agree. But you know what? The NFL has kind of straightened up. You had a bunch of players that were taking knees during the national anthem, refusing to stand and honor the flag, and they\u2019re not doing that anymore. Do you know why? President Trump. The NFL owes President Trump more than they will ever realize. Trump saved their TV ratings. Trump saved this league and its players from doing something that might have permanently damaged viewership, ticket sales, any number of things. I am not making that up. I\u2019m not trying to be provocative. But you\u2019re 11 years old, you noticed this?<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-295103\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/APP-121918-Kaepernick.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/APP-121918-Kaepernick.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/APP-121918-Kaepernick-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes.

Well, who\u2019s your favorite NFL team?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Packers all the way.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: The Packers. The Green Bay Packers all the way.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yep.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: This is great.
