Radio Pitch: Real Talk from NY Football Fans

NFL players kneeling during the national anthem has been one of the most controversial topics not only in sports, but in all of America over the past year.  The conversation was once again thrust into the national spotlight after President Trump called the kneeling players “sons of bitches” during one of his rallies last month and suggested that those who do kneel should be released by the owners.  This led to over one hundred fifty players kneeling that weekend, causing strong reactions one way or another from fans.  My pitch is to go to MetLife Stadium on a Sunday when either the Jets or Giants play and interview real fans before the game to get their opinions on the situation as a whole, including the player who started all of this (Colin Kaepernick) and Trump’s tweets.  By talking to people at the stadium, I hope to get an idea of what local everyday fans in our area think about the issue.
