Dozens of players were protesting the first two weeks of the season, but no one seemed to care … until Trump’s weekend tweetstorm from his golf club back in September.

False. Trump just acknowledged what was already happening with fans leaving.

Exactly. The deplorables cared about the insult to the flag and our country from the start. Trump spoke up about it and that’s just something NY Mag doesn’t want to see.

Indeed, nobody this guy knew cared, but then nobody he hangs with ever thought of serving his country. The country in their mind exists to serve them. The see the country as their mommy, not their daddy.

Perpetually adolescent, they never grew to the point of realizing that there is anything bigger in their lives than their own desires. They never became adults and conceived of society as joint effort.

A lesson pounded into children when they get a spanking by a loving parent. I knew I did wrong, I knew the spanking hurt, but when I saw my dad’s tears flow as he spanked me for what I had done I understood.

What I had done was bigger than me or my dad. It was wrong to us all.

Liberals do not comprehend this.

You have noted just one of many fakeries in the article. The author seems to have an axe to grind.

You’re exactly right.

Thing is players had been ignoring the anthem for years but it went pretty much ignored because they weren’t protesting or being flagrantly disrespectful. I mean you’d see a few players warming up, throwing the ball around, during the anthem etc.

Pre-Kaepernick there was no issue, but the league failed to act when that began and let it build to this point.
