   Greetings;
   
   These schools that adopt a "Sanctuary College" - I'm curious if TV or its sponsors would drop those learning places that have sport teams that are televised. It certainly would hurt their pocket book.
   
   Any ideas on this subject!!!!

   Probably not, TV makes too much money off those teams, and most sponsors look at everyone as customers.
   
   Just saw this morning that 3 NBA teams will not stay at Trump Brand properties when traveling for road games.
   
   I say they are privately owned franchises and can decide to stay wherever they want. (Two teams Dallas and Milwaukee, are owned by democratic supporters, Memphis claimed it had nothing to do with the results of the election) One other team not mentioned will not renew their contract with Trump brand hotels after this season. (The two cities that teams were staying at Trump properties was in New York and Chicago, with the Trump SoHo property popular when visiting teams had back to back games with the Knicks and Nets) Source is ESPN.
   
   And Capt. Secretary Clinton said about half of Trump supporters were deplorable, so that's 30 million.

   The hypocrites at the NBA have no problem playing games in that bastion of freedom called China.

   The majority of "sanctuary colleges" are Ivy League schools and the like. These schools don't get a lot of airtime to begin with so it's almost a moot point.
   
   Speaking of sanctuary places, we all know about the sanctuary cities. The leaders of sanctuary cities have doubled down since Trump won the election. Trump said he will cut federal funding to sanctuary cities. I'm curious to see if Trump has federal charges brought against city leaders that actively defy the law. This will be interesting to watch.

   I wonder when he withholds federal funds, the taxpayers withhold paying taxes in those cities? Sounds like a good pissing match instead of really going ahead and fixing the problem. (would be curious how much federal tax revenue is generated in those cities compared to how much federal funding they receive) I seemed to remember the Senate had a good bi-partisan solution which the house would not touch, they couldn't been seen "giving into President Obama" and possibly loose in a primary election at home I guess.
