NFL Owner Blasts President Trump On His National Anthem Stance
Deadline Hollywood ^ | September 13, 2018 | Bruce Haring

Posted on 09/14/2018 7:21:15 AM PDT by C19fan

Carolina Panthers owner and hedge fund mogul David Tepper has slammed President Trump regarding his national anthem protests stance.

Speaking to CNBC, Tepper – who bought the Panthers for $2.2 billion in May – said the attacks on players who protest during the national anthem is “the biggest pile of bull-dinky ever.”

Although Tepper didn’t specifically name President Trump, it was clear whom he was talking about, referring to “Howdy-Doody” and “the red-headed guy in DC” during the interview.

They have a right to protest on company time if the company agrees with their protests. The NFL hates Cops, the military and America. Remember that when you support their sponsors.

This type of noise reminds me why I now despise the NFL as intensely as I do.

The billionaire nfl owner in my town recently referred to the POTUS as “the great divider”.......I’m not expecting to spend any $$ in that stadium or on that team for the foreseeable future.

Players have NO RIGHT to protest on company time!!!!

NFL owners and players have no right to demand that we accept it.

I don’t follow sports much since my dad passed away, but I hope this team does poorly and the guy who bought them loses his huge investment.

Well, I take back the first part of my sentence. The players should not be punished for idiotic comments by the owner of the team.

David Tepper is watching his investment go down the crapper.

Dallas low TV ratings has the NFL worried

I’m confused. So what they are saying is players have the right to protest the USA on company time, but no-one has the right to protest against the players even on their own time?


Excellent retort to the PC crowd

The Cowboys have been irrelevant for years.

People in their 20s have no concept of when this team was actually good.

Well, yeah, genius, just as everyone knows who I am referring to without mentioning your name.

That is correct.

See how long your company keeps you on if you ask this simple question during a corporate diversity training event:

Can you identify and quantify a specific increase in overall revenue based on your hiring of my co-worker as compared to the hiring of me?

Can you quantify the impact to the EBITDA if my co-worker leaves the company compared to my leaving the company?

Is my co-worker more or less valuable to the revenue stream than I am?

Actually, I think this is very good news indeed.

That this hedge fund owner is squeezing like a stuck pig tells me pretty clearly that the owners are now feeling the heat financially.

Ratings are down and maybe the team he recently bought for $2.2 billion is now only worth $1.7 billion because of all the kneeling. Yeah, if I lost $500 million I’d start lashing out too!

These guys will cowardly lash out at Trump because that is the most acceptable in the liberal controlled culture. They have absolutely no courage in dealing with the issue at the root, that is, telling their employees to follow their employment directives. Heck no. Far more righteous to castigate Trump rather than YOU dealing appropriately with the issue.

So yeah, they’re starting to feel it financially now, and that’s a good thing.

“David Tepper has slammed President Trump regarding his national anthem protests stance.”

And Trump cares what Tepper thinks ... not at all. (”I’m President and he’s not.”)
