POTUS, Trump, the "tell like it is" POTUS, has caused both major political parties, the entire media and the entire sports world into a very uncomfortable place for all of them. Bottom line, Trump has the vast majority of Americans in his corner supporting him and his stance in defending the American flag, The American national anthem, The American culture, The American nation, and most of all the American people.
The media is lost at babbling this or that, The NFL management and coaches, in total, are not the sharpest knives in the drawer, has zero leadership of any kind, the NFL team Kneelers are not-too-bright, and have been ill advised at best, the political parties do not want to touch this losing game with a ten foot pole.
Trump has trapped them all, while the overwhelming majority of Americans support the POTUS big time.
I would advise the NFL to come forth with a policy that prohibits the "Knee" act immediately, but encourages their players to be politically vocal and active on the likes of CNN, ESPN, MSNBC, NPR, etc. NFL, shut this "knee" farce down right now..or die on the vine of political correctness foolishness, that you have allowed to be created by your uninformed light weight players. The "Race Card" gig just ain't cool anymore and it does not and will not work like it did once. Identity politics, if not dead already is very quickly dying in the real world!!! Trumpie got the story line right, and the brains...too!!!
We are gradually waking up to the reality of the matrix constructed by the Liberals/Communists.
That doesn't mean the war has ended. In fact, it means that the war is just now beginning in earnest.
sorry I don’t know why it posted 3 times.
HOPING AND PRAYING that the MNF ratings were down like the Sunday night viewership was.
This weekend was a shock as I got home from my early food shopping trip to enjoy the pre-game and (2) 1:00 NY Games. I was so pissed off by the time the games actually kicked off that I only watched the Giants game and then had to thoroughly agitated by watching my favorite player morph from a man into a classless animal.
THEN he had the audacity to brag about being a “dog” and promise that such antics would continue regardless of the negative impact on the team,...helping contribute to yet another loss.
Odell picked the wrong week to jump the shark and I am DONE with the NFL and my beloved Giants. Can’t wait to spend Sunday’s out with the kids and not waste our time watching what used to be a great American game.
The Stillerz alienated their entire fan base on Sunday... they should be beyond DEFCON 1....
This was the stupidest self inflicted wound I have ever seen, Goodell is an idiot, the owners are fools... and the players? Well... mental midgets would be kind.
I live in Pittsburgh, i am not a huge football fan, and generally to me, when the stillerz are on, that means I can go shopping without worrying about crowds.....
However last sunday, after visiting Home Depot for some supplies for a project, I decided to take my daughter to lunch, it was just before 1pm and the HD was next to a Buffallo Wild Wings... I am not really a fan of BWW, but its close, they have big screen TV’s and the Stiller game was about to start, so why not, get some lunch there and watch a bit of the game with my daughter.....
I get seated and promptly hear them announce the stillerz are going to no show the national anthem... Immediately my blood began to boil.... I could give a crap less about whether the stillerz win or lose, honestly.... As far as I’ve ever been concerned their QB is a rapist, and very little upsets me more than seeing some little girl running around in a #7 shirt... Makes me want to beat their father up immediately.... But lets put that aside.
Anyway the national anthem comes on, and #78 comes out and stands and shows respect, the entire bar erupts in an unprovoked cheer.... Then when its over the rest of the Stillerz come out, and the bar unprompted collective boos them... This is in PITTSBURGH folks, this are people who are born and bred Steeler fans... This is a town where a fan had his funeral showing propped up in his easy chair, surrounded by his steeler memorabilia with their super bowl victory tapes playing....
You cannot ask for a more loyal and devoted fan base than what the Stillerz have, and these people were PISSED... And I admit personally I celebrated every bad play, dropped ball, and sack that the stillerz endured while I ate, and I will be honest, had Big Ben had a Theisman leg injury I would have stood up and cheered, I was so effin livid, and I don’t give a rats butt about the NFL or the Stillerz.....
The NFL is beyond stupid. Tomlin can spout off all day long how it was a “team” decision, I have no doubt it my mind, Tomlin and/or Rooney made that decision...and certainly the behavior by Tomlin after the game, certainly validates it.
Yeah despite the denials they know they have a big problem on their hands.
All President Trump did was put forth a pro-American agenda. Not really radical in my opinion.
And these institutions went nuts. Tells you all you need to know.
Amen! to your post.
To all the NFL, NBA, MLB, owners, coaches and players...please take heed and learn something from these words from a very smart person, who told them to me.
“If you are born dumb, and, you know it...you will do very well as you travel the world through your life. But...if you are born dumb and, you think you are smart, you will create problems and trouble where none exist”.
This Identity Politics gig that Football, Basketball & Baseball dudes are dancing and prancing to, is getting old and tired. You folks have done yourselves in....the American people are sick of your silly, immature, hateful anti-American games & mantra. Go live in England and salute the Queen as you idiots did this past Sunday.
Yes, the Queen of England, the largest slave trading nation in the entire world along with your beloved Black, Muslim slave & sex traffic trader, brothers in East Sub Sahara, Africa. Ask Obama...he comes from a long line of Black Kenyan slave & sex traffic, abusers & users.
To extend your frog boiling metaphor, Obama came and cranked the heat up from 2 to 10, and that’s what led to Trump, and is now leading to the rejection of globalism everywhere.
He sure did. Big mistake on his part.
Truman was a precursor to LBJ and the Bushes in that he did the right thing in a war, then requireded the military to pull its punches.
I'm pretty much done with all of it. There comes a time when the trees get in the way of some people's arguments and nothing you present makes any difference.
I think the league should put its money and time where its mouth is and start addressing the problems of the black community with mentoring programs, money for supplies & sports couches. Let the players spend a little time with kids at their schools and let them visit training.
Make after school tutoring part of the deal with entry related to improving grades and actually make a difference instead of just posing as SJW and feeling cool. The problem is not the cops.
President Trump is shining the light on the reality of what is wrong with this country. Calling out the perpetrators of the lies fed to Americans daily.
The problem for the NFL and the players is that fresh crow tastes bad but it tastes even worse when its been dead for a while. They are going to eat it now or later or watch their way of life change drastically.
Whatever the level of talent if they can’t be respectful of the flag, the anthem & our Nation they shouldn’t play.
They are supposed to set an example of sportsmanlike conduct and traditional values for all of the children that look up to them.
If you think Bill Clinton’s actions had a bad effect on the Nation’s kids and our moral compass these trashy flashy players stand to have an effect orders of magnitude greater. They are basically shoving black kids & white kids into the gutter by teaching them that the police are the enemy and they should get in their faces, that disrupting and trashing like BLM is a way to resolve issues.
I love how disciplined the Trump team/Press Secretary etc have gotten. They all had the same message, Sarah, Mnunchin, POTUS and others.
The Presidents job is to defend the Nation, respect our Flag, Anthem & our soldiers service. When he speaks to the Nation about seeing that the proper respect is shown he’s doing his job.
