}A daily digest of opinions and analysisAre You Ready For Some ... Football Controversy?Sure, President Trump said any NFL player who protests during the national anthem should be fired — but “this isn’t about the president being against something,” as White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders assured reporters on Monday. Still, it looks like a lot of people disagree. Trump’s remarks angered NFL team owners — many of whom donated to his campaign — and garnered pushback from sponsors such as Nike and Ford. Bloomberg View’s Cass Sunstein says Trump’s remarks amount to a form of right-wing political correctness, while Tyler Cowen goes one step further by suggesting the league abandon the anthem altogether, arguing that the ritual is designed to embarrass or intimidate those who choose not to pay their respects. Meanwhile, Megan McArdle notes the protests come at a time of strain for the NFL, with viewership eroding and concerns about player safety rising.Trump’s New Travel Ban Could Win Over JusticesCould the third time be a charm for Trump’s travel ban? The administration must hope so, having crafted another order restricting visits to the U.S. on national-security grounds. Noting that North Korea and Venezuela have been added to the list of target countries (which also includes Chad, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen), Eli Lake asks, “Can we stop calling it a Muslim ban now?”But Noah Feldman doesn’t buy that argument, calling the proclamation “a rewarmed Muslim ban, dressed with a North Korean-Venezuelan sauce to try and mask its original flavor.” Still, Feldman notes, if this version of the travel ban had been issued in January, the courts would probably have let it stand — and after so much conflict, they may be inclined to let the administration have a win.  Investors Reward Argentina for Taming InflationStocks?

So ... is this a good thing? The lead researcher says he’s merely showing what’s possible, but Cathy O’Neil says it seems less like an innocent proof of concept when you imagine what oppressive governments could do with the technology. Before it’s here, it’s on the Bloomberg Terminal. Find out how the Terminal delivers information and analysis that financial professionals can’t find anywhere else. Learn more.Ritholtz’s ReadsNew highs should be bought, not sold (Irrelevant Investor)Three challenging scenarios for quality-value investors (Clear Eyes Investing)How electric cars could create the biggest disruption since the iPhone (Bloomberg)(Read Barry Ritholtz’s full daily news roundup here.) Bloomberg GadflyPfizer channels its inner biotechTarget is smart to raise its minimum wageHarvard should ignore its endowment CEO’s freshman slump(Read more from BV’s sister site for fast business commentary.)Bloomberg L.P. ● 731 Lexington Avenue, New York, NY 10022Web ● Facebook ● TwitterFeedback ● Unsubscribe
