Offside: Top Trump aide’s father was NFL executive

As the Cold War hostilities escalate between Donald Trump and the National Football League, there’s no need for a “red phone.” Trump’s nearest conduit to Commissioner Roger Goodell sits immediately next door to the Oval Office: her name is Hope Hicks. How’s that for an awkward juxtaposition after a weekend of anthem protests by NFL players and owners? The father of Trump’s White House communications director, who is from Connecticut, previously was in charge of lobbying and messaging for the league under Goodell. Paul Hicks III served as the NFL’s executive vice president of communications and government affairs until September 2015, when left to join the public relations powerhouse, The Glover Park Group, as a managing director.
