NFL franchise owner worried by the US under Trump

ATLANTA FALCONS owner Arthur Blank said on Monday night that he is troubled by the direction the United States is heading in under President Donald Trump.

Blank, who is Jewish, took offence to Trump’s Holocaust Memorial Day statement last Friday which failed to mention the six million Jews who were systimatically murdered by the nazis during World War II.

“Obviously, it’s a tragic time in the history of the world, not only for Jewish individuals but for non-Jews as well,” Blank said.
