But I'm reading these comments and it's appalling to me and I'm sure it's appalling to almost any citizen in our country. It should be.

Bzzztttt! Wrong!

Obviously Rex wants to fit in at ESPN, but based on the support Trump has received from his base, based on the boos that rained down on the field, and based on the fact that fans of teams are burning their gear, I'd say every American isn't "appalled." I honestly think that Rex thought everyone would be outraged at Trump and so he's trying to distance himself. He judged it wrong. There are people who are "appalled" for the exact opposite reason.

Rex is about to experience a very difficult week if I sense the mood of the country correctly. I wandered into Yahoo yesterday expecting to see the usual liberal apologia and just about had my eyebrows scorched by one of the Comments sections. It isn’t just Trump supporters, these guys have been wandering in a minefield the last few months and finally stepped on one.

I think Rex is reading the wrong comments. But that's all right.

I used to enjoy a lazy Sunday afternoon with football because it wasn’t all-consumed with politics. They’ve now screwed this up. Same applies to ESPN as it provided sports news and insights but they decided they needed to go down the politics road so that’s hosed for me now as entertainment. So far, they haven’t screwed up college football so I still enjoy the “Gameday” program.

Rex’s dad played college ball at my alma mater, Oklahoma State. Rex’s twin brother, Rob, had a stint as the defensive coordinator there. The bright lights & big city appear to have taken them away from their Okie roots. Rex still has dreams of getting another coaching stint so he’s trying to stay marketable. As for me, I’ve moved past the whole thing. It’s even made going to a Super Bowl party an event I can pass on this season.

It's not "appalling" to me you schmuck. In fact, I say hell yeah! It's high time that a real President says what needs to be said even if it is in a 'tweet'.

Now go schmuck yourself schmuck.

Ryan has obviously spent too much time in the locker room. He doesn’t recognize his fans any more. These jerks fail to understand that President Trump is saying what many of us are saying but we have no public voice. President Trump, again, is saying what many us are are thinking and using his podium to do so. God Bless America and God Bless President Trump!!!

"Rex Ryan wishes he never supported Donald Trump: 'I'm pissed off'"

Oh yeah, Rex?
Well guess what?
I'm pissed off too.

I'm pissed off that I can't go walk in a park without seeing paint splattered on historical statues and monuments.

I'm pissed off that I can't see a movie or hear a popular song without having counter cultural crap shoved in my face.

And I'm pissed off that the football games I loved to watch on Saturday and Sunday (albeit 20+ years ago) have over those past two decades been co-opted into vehicles for socio-political-psycho-babble crap spouted by millionaire brats who haven't had one tenth the life (and death) experiences I've had with *REAL* oppression, *REAL* injustice and *REAL* wars with *REAL* bad guys.

And I'm pissed off at seeing the few players who espouse the values I share, like Tebow, Tillman, Villnueva being treated as if they are some sort of freaks while the scumbags in the league get all the accolades.

And I'm pissed off at fair weather friends like you that are glad to ride the gravy train with President Trump when things look good but bail out the first time he says something that might get you disinvited to a cocktail party.

Go sit on a drill, Rex.

For too long termites have been gnawing at America’s foundation and it looks like President Trump is also our own pest control.

You do not know how deep the rot is until you pull the veneer off and expose it to the sunshine.

Thank you Mr. President for exposing those that in reality hate our nation and willing to see it fail as long as they get a good paycheck.

It looks like Trump got exactly the reaction from the NFL he wanted. Talk about getting his base fired up!

I’ve watched Rex Ryan coach and I’ve watched Rex Ryan be a “color commentator” on a football broadcast.

Rex Ryan, you would make a good bus driver.

What’s Ryan’s record?

How many Division championships?

How many play-off wins?

How many Super Bowls?

They used too fly B1’s, then B2’s with F-15s, and lately F-22’s over their Superbowls.

And now, F em right guys? The NFL is a joke.

Rex Ryan obviously feels a dire need to have the whole country experience his “buyer’s remorse” with him. He’s one of those who liked Trump until Trump got around to something that Ryan values, then, it’s hell to pay.

If this article hadn’t told me, I would say I’d never heard of Rex Ryan, but, he’s obviously one of these non-patriotic, cry-baby, footballers, who’s not getting his way.

And, of course, the media is obsessively compelled to print/broadcast any “negative Trump”, no matter where they find it.

Another day, another Trump bashing.
