“racially charged confrontation”
The F*CKHEADS changed this to RACE because Charlottesville is too old, and they need something new to trash Trump over.
F*CK them.

The idea that they’re protesting against President Trump instead of the Democrats, when it’s the Democrats who run the cities where blacks are being gunned down in such large numbers, is just plain absurd.

This would be a great time to short the NFL, I wonder if there are odds on how much viewership they lose this week alone? 10%,15%

Shad Khan, Jacksonville Jaguars owner.

So then Khan and these players stood for the anthem. Good for them.

Now you are saying just the opposite of what I heard. I heard Khan stood in support of the flag and anthem.

So then , I ask again, who are the good guys and who are bad guys today?

a racially charged confrontation with professional athletes and sports team owners:

Why is the NFL Hating America “racially charged”??

sounds like just plain hate.

Some question why Trump would want to get involved in something like this. But the metrics are simple. Those who would protest the playing of the national anthem would never vote for Donald Trump under any circumstances. As for the rest, they are either already solidly in Trump's camp or who can still be swayed.

Trump's enemies may hate him more for this but not a single current supporter will abandon him.

Therefore, Trump has nothing to lose and a lot of supporters to potentially gain but standing up for America and calling out the tiny minority of attention-seeking jerks who would disrespect our nation and flag.

There is little funnier than anyone, ANYONE, at NBC analyzing Trump.

Disclaimer: I was never a "never Trumpeter." He was never, NEVER, my first choice.

One of the things I find the most entertaining is analysts implying pure politics to anything Trump does and finding fault.

I have learned to appreciate the patriotism of the entire Trump family, including the President. I have also learned to appreciate his sincerity. I doubt either will ever wane in his lifetime.

I'm pulling for Trump to tweet the left into oblivion. When he succeeds, America will be great again.

If they're of the same reliability as those other English Jags, they'll be in the shop more than Fix-It-Again-Tonys.

“...pushed into the spotlight by Colin Kaepernick, to highlight racial injustices in the criminal justice system....”

What’s going to get spotlighted are the arrest records of many different NFL criminal thugs.

Well he has put a few billion in his pockets since he stepped ashore at age 16 back
in 1967 to go to the University of Illinois. Who’d a thought that auto bumpers
could make one so wealthy, but it did.

Well, I can see why we are confused.

Headline sounds pretty clear:

Jaguars owner Shad Khan unites with players in defiance of Trump
https://sports.yahoo.com/jaguars-owner-shad-khan-unites-players-defiance-trump-143949834.html

Then below that a picture of him *standing* with his arms linked with players and the cutline:

“Jaguars owner Shad Khan links arms with players during the national anthem before the game”

Apparently, the press hasn’t gotten clear instructions on how to spin things yet.

They all apparently did stand for “God Save the Queen”.

I’m certainly not going to turn on any NFL games to see for myself what is going on.

Just to be clear, Jag is an Indian label, not a British one.

They don’t want to leave; they want to change our country to suit their political views. If you read your Bible, you’ll see that eventually, they’ll succeed, BUT NOT NOW! Before it gets as bad as it can get, there is a window of revival. I believe God is giving us one last chance, as we pray and seek His face. Donald Trump is part of that. Ushered in by God, through His mercy and in response to the prayers of His people, through the ages, He is giving us, in these last days, a way to be obedient to Him. He is pouring out His blessings upon His children, and as rain falls on the good as well as the evil, we will all benefit from His mercy. Pray without ceasing. Father, in the Name of Jesus, I pray that the enemy will be confounded, that Your will be done. I pray for wisdom and protection over our president, vice-president, our leaders and their families. Open their eyes and cause them to discern right from wrong. Give them a hunger and thirst for righteousness, move them to seek Your face and obey Your word. Cause them to make right decisions, and to avoid pitfalls. When the enemy digs a pit for them, cause the enemy, instead, to fall into that pit. In Jesus Name, Amen.

>> coach John Harbaugh

Would rather hold hands in contempt than spare one for respect of the Military.
