Owner marketing ploy or sincere support? Signing Kaepernick will be a tell.
Considering the conservative culture of football, Trump probably just said what most of the owners were thinking anyway. Now they've been put on the spot. Popularity of football has always been a mystery to me. Hockey is popular in Canada but it's not a K12 school activity like football in the US.

Football in the U.S. is declining for reasons unrelated to the Kaepernick matter. In high schools and youth leagues, liability, travel and outfitting costs have risen greatly. With so many immigrants raised on soccer, and U.S. kids raised on satellite TV soccer, many schools have dropped football for low interest and higher costs.
