Rush was applauding Trump for doing it - day after day, week after week.
It worked. The NFL is caving.
NOW he has a problem with it?
Trump was just giving voice to his voters. He didn’t “demand” the NFL do anything as POTUS. He said, “They should have made Kaepernick stand” because it’s the right thing to do and they’ll lose fans and money if they don’t
Certainly within his rights to speak out on an issue and give voice to us.
Now that Trump has beaten the NFL, he needs to turn full attention to Hollywood. How many more producers have raped young women and men out there? Needs to stop and FBI needs to investigate.
The Producer’s Couch has a long and noble tradition in Hollywood. I doubt any female star has been untouched.
“It worked. The NFL is caving”
I think the marketplace will decide this issue. It may take till the upcoming season when ticket sales start coming in to see the full impact. If stadium sales are down significantly and if tv viewers are as well then everyone vested in the game will follow the market. Personally, I’ve become somewhat jaded with the NFL. My rule of thumb now is first, turn the channel to a game only if I’m interested. Second, if everyone stands respectfully for the anthem and opening ceremony, both teams, then I continue to watch. But, if even one plays acts disrespectfully I change channels. That’s it...
“NOW he has a problem with it?”
Rush is a JERK.
Rush’s controllers got a hold of him and told him to back off a little. Remember Rush is an elitist, GOPe.
I was Rush’s biggest fan. Not anymore. He showed his true colors not supporting Trump during the election cycle. He is “controlled” by someone.
Talk radio is DEAD anyway. It won’t be long before people say “Rush who?”
“It worked. The NFL is caving.
NOW he has a problem with it?”

I believe Rush has freinds in the NFL. Ex players, and probably some inside of some ownerership. I can’t recall for sure but I thought he was chummy with Steeler’s owners.
Anyway, I’m throwing darts but I wonder if he is conflicted between two things he cares about
Rush must have played a round of golf with some of his NFL owner buddies.
“Rush, Trump is killing us. We’re losing millions, you gotta do something...” or something like that.
I heard him make these comments and was like Rush WTH! You are about to get a win, push back against the left for the first time in decades, that you have railed and begged Republicans to do and now one does and you doubt yourself? Trump controlling what people say and do? You sounded like the NYT’s and the rest of the drive bys.
Rush you blinked on this one. You are at best on the NFL national anthem issue a band wagoner and at worst a person who doubted his own thoughts. You screwed the pooch on this one Rush.
