Super Bowl LII: Kellyanne Conway Says 'You Take a Knee for the Lord and You Stand for the Flag'
Newsweak ^ | 2/4/18 | Grace Guarnieri

Posted on 02/04/2018 2:13:24 PM PST by markomalley

Ahead of Super Bowl LII on Sunday, counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway defended President Donald Trump's feud with protesting NFL players who have taken a knee during the national anthem, saying "In my house and in many other households across this country we say 'you take a knee for the lord and you stand for the flag.'"

"I think that we don't have any kneelers today. We'll see what happens," she said. Conway showed support for the Philadelphia Eagles, donning a team beanie during a Sunday interview with Fox & Friends

She defended Trump's right to "stand up for the flag," though Trump has slammed NFL players' protests, even calling on NFL owners to fire players who took a knee during the national anthem in September. "Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, 'Get that son of a bitch off the field right now, out, he's fired. He's fired,'" Trump told the crowd gathered at a rally for GOP Senator Luther Strange.

Trump is having a ‘Super Bowl Party”, so much for core beliefs.

Went to pick up my wife at Target this afternoon (she's a cashier). Some news station was there, and a reporterette shoved a mike in my mouth "Will you be watching the Super Bowl today?" I answered "Oh! Is that today?" I laughed.

I doubt my response will be broadcast.

No, its calling a Man on his word. He started this movement, asked people not to watch, then at the end holds a “Super Bowl Party”. That to me is a not being a man of his word.

I've been off football (and all other sports) for years now. But if anyone wants to cave and watch the Super Bowl, I'm not going to make too big a deal of it. If I completely boycotted every organization or company that pissed me off politically I'd be obliged to live a primitive life in the woods somewhere.

The man that posted pictures of empty stadiums on Twitter, and convinced others to not watch, is now enjoying a big “Super Bowl Party”. Amazing

Trump created the “Not watching” then at the very end, its “Super Bowl Party” time for him and celebrity friends. That is not being a Man of your word.
