There's been a lot of coverage of the NFL protests in response to Donald Trump's incendiary comments calling NFL players who kneel during the national anthem "son's of bitches" who deserve to be fired, both here at Bleeding Cool and all over the news in general this weekend. But despite all of this, one lingering question is on the minds of the entire nation: what does Nick Spencer think about this?

Determined to find out and get rich on clicks in the process, we instructed our top investigative reporters to scour the Secret Empire writer's Twitter account and report back with the insider information our readers demand.

Spencer started discussing the issue Saturday night by challenging Republican Senator Ben Sasse of Nebraska in debate:

Then Spencer laid out his hopes for Sunday's games: that (mostly white) crowds would do the right thing:

Spencer also updated us on his sports watching habits, and his thoughts on the NFL concussion scandal.

And then he took on author Tom Nichols on fair pay for players:

And who knows what they do with those profits? Former Marvel CEO and current chairman Ike Perlmutter tends to give them to Donald Trump. Speaking of the devil, Spencer had some words for Trump as well:

He was dodging the draft. Oh, was that rhetorical?

What will Spencer have to say about politics on Twitter tomorrow? If it's a slow enough news day, you may find out!

A prophecy once said that in the comic book industry's darkest days, a hero would come to lead the people through a plague of overpriced floppies, incentive variant covers, #1 issue reboots, and super-mega-crossover events. Sadly, that prophecy was wrong. Oh, Jude Terror was right. For ten years. About everything. But nobody listened. And so, Jude Terror has moved on to a more important mission: turning Bleeding Cool into a pro wrestling dirt sheet!
