Trump has even posted links to phony Russian twitter accounts such as "Stand for the Anthem."

Why Twitter bots are trolling NFL hashtags 'take a knee,' and 'boycott nfl'

INDIANAPOLIS – Pay close attention before getting into arguments with Twitter accounts pushing hashtags like #TakeAKnee or #boycottNFL.

The Alliance for Securing Democracy, a bipartisan group aiming to "publicly document and expose Vladimir Putin’s ongoing efforts to subvert democracy," monitors 600 Twitter accounts it says are linked to Russia. And that group reported that hashtags like 'nfl,' 'takeaknee,' and 'boycottnfl' have recently been some of the most frequently used by those accounts.

Twitter executives discussed Russian interference in the 2016 election with heads from the FBI, Department of Homeland Security and the National Counterterrorism Center on Thursday. Sports chatter, in comparison, seems pretty harmless.

1. Putin's troll army is what's propping up the Trump regime and keeping the cult in line

and giving millions of eyeballs and clicks to Facebook and Twitter

When you kneel for our #NationalAnthem, you aren't protesting a specific issue, you are protesting our Nation and EVERYTHING it stands for‼️

3. Agreed. That account is well known

4. Both have been working for the Russians much longer.

5. Yup! That should be and has to be the real story.

Why and how was Trump sending out links to Russian troll accounts
with in days of those accounts which started in St. Petersburg becoming
active?

6. I view what Pence did as a form of counter protest, the NFL will eventually symbolize protest

It is America's sanitized and televised prime time version of Antifa vs Nazis

Children will be reading about this in textbooks next year
