It was simple – we loved you and you loved us – with all of our races, religions, different backgrounds and politics. Simplicity in a crazy world was pretty awesome. You dear NFL, have taken that. You have lost me here. If you ever want to get off your knees and get to work on building bridges, let me know.

This is typical of Liberal tactics and approach. Protest by “showing unity” in order to create division and angst among the people. Basically, let’s be controversial and stir emotion and resentment in the name of bringing everyone together. And of course, they always have to add, “we want to have a discussion.”

No. No, they do not want an honest discussion. They do not want facts and figures and statistics. They do not want to hear about the causes that plague minorities with poverty and criminal culture and depraved families promoting thug culture. They don’t want to hear about single moms and the affect it has on minority youth.

What they want is more stuff and they want more anger and resentment between minorities and white people. That is ultimately what this “stunt” is intended to do. It has nothing to do with the stated intent. In the mean time, they are destroying another part of our culture.

I don’t know what she is saying anymore. Yahoo (fake news) tells it differently:

https://www.yahoo.com/news/widow-former-nfl-player-died-080107029.html

The widow of a former NFL player who died while serving in the U.S. Army issued a powerful response to President Donald Trump using her husband’s name to criticize athletes who protest the national anthem.

Tillman was another story. The family could never get a straight answer from the Bush Administration and Pentagon.

They're going to have to get a job if the NFL ratings keep dropping...and let's hope they do.

Drudge report:

Through three weeks, viewership for national telecasts of NFL games is down 11 percent this season compared to 2016, the Nielsen company said on Tuesday.

I won’t go back to the traitorous NFL.

Nevertheless, I am glad to see she is speaking out.

Seems an odd thing for the widow to say. Her husband was killed when he was fighting the same type of people she objects to President Trump trying to keep from coming here to kill us. Where’s her head? I know he wasn’t killed by the enemy but he wouldn’t have been there if there wasn’t a BIG PROBLEM in that part of the world with the mentality they have.

“”It’s not the first Marie Tillman has spoken out against Trump. In January, she also denounced his controversial executive order banning travel from several majority-Muslim countries.

“This is not the country [Pat] dreamed of, not what he served for and not what he died for,” she said.””

Good for her - this adds a specific foul odor to what the NFL is doing.
