If only this nation's climate had been somehow inimical to cotton production . . .

Trump not the only one unhappy with players behavior.

Most of the voters who put him into the White House feel he same way-—we just don’t have our own microphones...

But we can BOYCOTT the NFL & the NBA.

They are predominately Black & they still keep bitching. Amazon is hiring sorters & packers for the holiday season. Maybe they should go work there.

The solution is easy - STOP playing the national anthem at Thugball games. Then everyone’s happy:

STOP PLAYING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM AT THUGBALL GAMES.

Off the top of my head I offer the following for consideration and comment:

-- Try as the owners, sports commentators and players might to make it so, this is clearly not a "free speech" issue: it's a workplace behavior matter. This is not about the NFL employees' right to protest, it's that, like in nearly all businesses in our country, employees aren't allowed to protest what burr is up their collective ass on company time.

-- The team owners are (I think) unanimous in support of their employees. Not only is this a mistake (that is, who's in charge here?), what the owners are saying is, in fact, not true of what they actually think. To realize what the team owners really think, just look at how they've treated Kaepernick throughout this past year.

-- I watched a few minutes of the start of two football games and there was a lot of booing as the multi-millionnaire NFL employees disrespected our country and our flag (especially on this day -- Gold Star Day) because they feel oppressed in America. [Pause to let the sardonic laughter die down...] But it must really shake the team owners to see how their paying customers -- the fans -- really feel: Nearly everyone in the stands stood for the anthem.

I think the team owners and the commissioner have made a serious miscalculation of "Dixie Chick" magnitude that is going to cost them dearly. Not just in terms of what will undoubtedly prove to be a huge financial hit, but in the matter of leadership ... that is, who is running things/managing things in the NFL? It's clear it's not the people who own the teams!

Nevertheless, although the sport of football will survive it's very sad to this football fan to see a once-fine organization as was the NFL self-destruct in front of the whole country. Very sad indeed.

I think the result of the Mueller investigation will be the tipping point. The left is banking on impeachment and will go ballistic if Trump is cleared. If Trump is not cleared, Trump, and the right aren’t going to accept it. No way to squirm Comey-like around a decision.

Yea, we are currently in a “Cold” Civil War, but it will only take a spark to make it “Hot”. What or when that spark will occur is anyone’s guess, but I know what the outcome will be.
__________________________________________________

The way things are going there will be a “hot” civil war in less than ten years. I’m not so sure what the outcome will be, but I believe it won’t be short nor pretty, for we will be fighting not only “us” against “them”, but also us against them, and them, and them, and them, and THEM.

There are a lot of factions, both within and without the country, who are organized and waiting for that spark. If it were just “us” against the liberal Democrats, the BLM nuts, the NFL thugs and their moron supporters, the Antifa commie wannabes, etc., it would be relatively easy, but I fear we will find ourselves facing opposition we never dreamed of fighting on American soil.
