    Donald Trump Tweets 2nd NFL Draft Pick, Ignores 1st who was Black

    US President Trump gave his congratulations to second pick Nick Bosa instead of Heisman Trophy winner Kyler Murray.

    What We Know: 

    • Murray, a former University of Oklahoma player, was recently drafted into the Arizona Cardinals with a reported $35 million dollar contract according to “TIME Magazine.”
    • Murray – a black man – did not receive praise from President Trump. Bosa – a white man – did instead.
    • The tweet reads: “Congratulations to Nick Bosa on being picked number two in the NFL Draft…You will be a great player for years to come, maybe one of the best. Big Talent! San Francisco will embrace you but most importantly, always stay true to yourself. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
    • These strings of events are even more interesting due to racially charged tweets that Bosa has released in the past.
    • Some of these tweets (that have since been deleted) include him stating “Black Panther as the ‘worst Marvel movie’; describing Beyonce’s music as ‘trash,’ and calling former 49ers player Colin Kaepernick a ‘clown'” according to “TIME Magazine.”
    • In the midst of these offensive tweets, Bosa has called Trump the “GOAT” and has shown support for the current President.
    • Bosa has since apologized for these tweets, but what is posted on the Internet lives forever.
    • This is sadly not a surprising move for President Trump, whose racist and prejudiced views can be seen in everything that he does.
    • A prominent example is when President Trump spoke about the kneeling for the “National Anthem” on Twitter, stating that “As far as the NFL is concerned, I just find it hard to watch, and always will, until they stand for the FLAG!”

    Hopefully Murray despite this public diss will still get the spotlight he has earned.
