NBA players, executives denounce Donald Trump's Muslim ban as 'B.S.'

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Concern spread through the Milwaukee Bucks locker room following Friday’s road game against the Toronto Raptors. The Bucks were scheduled to fly back to Milwaukee hours after President Donald Trump issued an executive order for U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials to ban immigrants from seven predominantly Muslim nations from entering the country, and the team’s 10th overall pick, Sudanese-born forward Thon Maker, was naturally on the plane back to his adopted home in America.

Maker was born in war-torn Wau, Sudan, now part of independent South Sudan. Sudan is among the countries listed on Trump’s order, along with Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen; South Sudan is not. Maker’s family escaped to Uganda when he was 5 years old, and they moved to Australia as refugees thereafter. He emigrated to the U.S. in 2011, where he played high school basketball for three years until finishing his prep career in Canada. He travels on an Australian passport, and Bucks officials confirmed Saturday the 19-year-old returned from Toronto to Milwaukee without incident.

Has anybody asked Donald Drumpf's BFFS, Tom Brady, Bill Belichick, and Robert Kraft about his ersatz Muslim ban? There I said it.

I might give Brady a pass. He saw Drumpf as a celebrity bud. Kraft and Belichek are aware of his incipient fascism and endorse it.
