The Bay Area is front and center as President Trump calls out athletes for acts of political protest.

First, then-49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick called attention to black victims of police violence by sitting out the national anthem. Now, similar protests have spread across the NFL and into other professional sports.

Over the weekend, Trump rescinded a White House invitation for the Golden State Warriors, Oakland A's catcher Bruce Maxwell became the first MLB player to kneel during the anthem and the entire Oakland Raiders offensive line sat out the anthem.
