They lost to Trump because the President spoke the words already formed in the minds of millions of American patriots, many of which were avid football fans.

And then the NFL quadrupled down on stupid.

I don’t think Trump was laying out a trap etc for the NFL

He honestly loves this country and said what was in his heart PERIOD

No other reason

“Donald Trump isn’t exactly on a winning streak...”

Bwahahahaha.

Tell it to the Democrats.

Good answer 1.
Good answer 2.

Also “Find a need and fill it”
Political protest is NOT a customer need in this case!

All Trump did was lance a boil.

Donald Trump doesn’t play three-dimensional chess, as his supporters insist.

Question for Rick Lowery, who is trump fighting? It isn't the NFL. Its the media companies that have been broadcasting their games.

The media has attacked Trump without stopping since 2015. So far they have lost about $200 million of advertising related to the ratings slump in the NFL this season. With one tweet, Trump throws gasoline onto the fire, which will cost them hundreds of millions more, just as they gear up for the 2018 elections.

If he isn't playing 3D chess, he certainly can target their vulnerabilities like a Womp rat back home on Tattoine.

One of the first things one of my dumbass co-workers said last year was regarding the market. He is Libtard 101.

“My 401 will tank if Trump is elected”.

I push his nose in it every chance I get. He is set to retire now.

Very well said. IMO, Lowery is a quitessential, east coast, brie sucking pantywaist.

“There were all sorts of unobjectionable means available for players to defy Trump, but they allowed themselves to, in effect, get double-dared into disrespecting the flag.”

Bush Sr. was down by 10 POINTS to The Loser in the 1988 campaign. But then a gift dropped out of the sky...the SUPREME COURT ruled that burning the American Flag is somehow ‘free speech...and The Loser immediately AGREED with the decision.

Of course Bush had no clue as to do with that gift, but the late Lee Atwater (think Steve Bannon of the 1980s) knew EXACTLY what to do. Bush Sr. actually visited an AMERICAN FLAG FACTORY (in New Jersey, if you can believe it) and went on to blow out The Loser in November.

Nice of the NFL to do Trump the same favor.

No one can read your sea of words.

Try learning how to use paragraph breaks like those used in post 29.

I went to eat at a local steakhouse today. They have 12 TVs in the place. No NFL, it was all Golf, NASCAR, baseball, Red Bull mountain bike jumping, stuff like that. The place was hopping, it didn’t hurt business a bit. It probably helped them! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He shouldn’t have called protesting players “sons of bitches...”

I've called them worse than that under my breath.

You are right. He spoke his true feelings as a football fan and an American that doesn’t abide people disrespecting our flag and country.

I am so grateful he is our President.

Bottom line: The NFL is a billion-dollar business due to the patronage of 21-50 year old white guys and the NFL took the side of people that HATE 21-50 year old white guys, period, end of story.
