Pat Tillmans widow on immigration ban: Not what he died for

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

As unrest and division over President Donald Trump’s decision to ban immigration from seven Middle Eastern nations continues to dominate the landscape of the United States, its impact on the sports world is being felt.

With protests taking place outside of the Super Bowl LI headquarters in Houston, the NFL world itself is definitely feeling the impact (more on that here).

Now, speaking out against President Trump’s policies, the widow for former player and war hero Pat Tillman is criticizing the commander-in-chief.

In 2002 my husband enlisted in the US Army, he stood up to serve because he believed in the principles on which our country was founded and, recognizing it wasn’t perfect, was passionate about what it could be. Today I am deeply saddened by the news of the executive order banning immigration. This is not the country he dreamed of, not what he served for and not what he died for. Since his death I have embarked on the most meaningful work of my life, supporting the men and women who, like Pat, fight for what this country can be. As I read posts from the community of #Tillman Scholars on my Facebook feed I am encouraged; they are exactly as I knew they would be, poised and ready to fight. I am proud of them and proud to stand with them, we’ve got this.

1. Wasn't she super hate Obama woman?

I guess Trump is losing the military now.

3. You might be thinking of Chris Kyle's widow?

I think Tillman and his wife were both liberals.
