Team Trump Ready for Business!
By 
Some NFL teams are supporting player protests against racist violence. That does not include the New England Patriots. They are too busy snuggling with their good buddy Donald Trump.
President Donald Trump has a Super Bowl championship ring — just like Vladimir Putin.
New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft gave Trump the diamond-encrusted ring. The sitting president usually receives gifts from sports teams during celebratory White House visits — a personalized jersey is standard — but Kraft gave Trump a ring as well, Patriots spokesman Stacey James said Tuesday.
Kraft decided after the team’s April visit to have a ring made for Trump so he would have something special to display in his presidential library, the team said. The rings were distributed to Patriots players and staff in June; it was not clear when Trump got his.
…
Trump’s ring was first divulged when former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci responded to a question from the moderator of the Patriots’ Reddit board. Scaramucci responded with the previously undisclosed detail that Trump also had a ring from the most recent Super Bowl.
Scaramucci did not respond to a message seeking comment.
Kraft and Trump have a long friendship. They grew closer after the death of the owner’s wife, Myra, when Kraft said the New York businessman was especially supportive. Brady and Patriots coach Bill Belichick also made comments in support of Trump during his presidential campaign.
To say the least, this just makes both the Pats and Trump more popular in many white parts of Rhode Island. Too bad I am not teaching this year, I’m really going to miss seeing whatever this is on the way to work every day.
