49ers, Giants, Dolphins, Packers condemn Trump's remarks about NFL protests
CBS Sports ^ | September 23, 2017 | R.J. White

President Donald Trump's comments on Friday in Alabama that NFL teams should cut any player who protests during the national anthem left a bad taste in the mouths of many players, and it turns out multiple ownership groups took issue with his speech as well.

"Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, 'Get that son of a b---- off the field right now," Trump said to a cheering crowd in Huntsville. "Out. He's fired. He's fired."

Commissioner Roger Goodell called out the president for his remarks, and players from Richard Sherman to LeSean McCoy and more shared their responses on Twitter. But they weren't alone in criticizing the president for his comments.

Giants owners John Mara and Steve Tisch released a statement Saturday:

"Comments like we heard last night from the president are inappropriate, offensive and divisive. We are proud of our players, the vast majority of whom use their NFL platform to make a positive difference in our society."(continued)

You would’ve thought by now the lefatrds would’ve figured out they can’t take on the Donald and not bleed.

He keeps baiting them and they keep swallowing the hook.

Love it.

A BBC article says ...

Trump under growing pressure over NFL player comments

Jocks and owners are pressure? They don’t know Trump.

They haven’t quite decided yet, they are in conference which is why we haven’t heard much

The wheels are coming off. The NFL had their chance to quell this mutiny early on and failed.

Nope. Better to have remained silent. Now, there are more targets.

I’m sure some team will now sign up this Colin POS just to spite the president.

The only “divisive” thing I saw were players kneeling during the National Anthem. Libtards projecting once again.

NFL owners: Who needs fans? We have enough money, We don’t need yours. We do this for the love of the game.

I wonder what the owners of the Giants would say if any of their players refused to stand for the national anthem.

These @ssholes never uttered a peep when Colin Kaepernick was sitting down for post-game interviews with Che Guevara or Fidel Castro T-shirts, and never uttered a peep when he was showing up for practice wearing socks adorned with images of pigs dressed in police uniforms.

I'll tell you what's got these owners so upset about President Trump's comments last night, as I said on another thread a short while ago. They're not upset because his comments were "divisive" or "offensive." They're absolutely alarmed about his suggestion that maybe NFL fans should just walk out of the stadium if players don't stand for the national anthem.

Really crazy. I guess we all have to hate this country, that’s all that’s acceptable.
