Michigan Wolverines coach Jim Harbaugh is a lot of a things. A good football coach, a lover of Judge Judy, and a guy who isn't afraid to speak his mind when it comes to polarizing topics.
Oh. Hello there, Donald Trump.
Jim Harbaugh had some stern advice for the 45th President of the United States on Saturday.
This is all coming after Donald Trump had some thoughts regarding NFL players and Steph Curry. Here are the his words:
“Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, ‘Get that son of a bitch off the field right now, out, he’s fired. He’s fired!'” Trump was quoted as saying. “You know, some owner is going to do that. He’s going to say, ‘That guy disrespects our flag, he’s fired.'”
Harbaugh was apparently not cool with this.

The day of this publication, Sunday, should have more fallout from Donald Trump's words. We already had him uninviting a Golden State Warriors team from a White House trip that it didn't really want to go on, the backlash from that on #NBATwitter, the entire social media firestorm it started and whatever happens on Sunday. Now we have a polarizing college football coach going after Trump.
There's no longer an ability to #sticktosports or stay in your lane(s). There are no more lanes, apparently. Sports, life and politics are all one in the same now.
Welcome to 2017.
