I wish he would forget about the NFL.
Much bigger fish to fry.
If they hate this country so much they should leave or be kicked out to a S-hole country so they can compare and contrast as they rot.
Good Point.
Trump continues to underestimate the ferocity of the anti-Trump forces.
I agree that it is an unexpected situation, but here we are.
Piss be upon Flake, Corker, Kasick, et.al.
No controversy is ever brought up with the intention to settle it one way or another. It’s brought up to be a perpetual scab on a running sore, to be picked at and picked at, with the hope that one day, it gets infected.
How long is the average contract? If they keep losing fans their earnings are going to go down.
It would be very easy to make an impact they cant ignore.
Stop buying tickets.
Cancel all sports channels that carry nfl games.
These teams are on the hook for massive salaries. If they lose a significant percentage of income, the screws tighten hard and fast.
The school Football teams are vanishing ...
My daughter was one of six cheer teams in her elementary ( and there were several different elementaries, so times that number - say like 12 teams in her grade district-wide) now at middle school, where all the elementary schools feed, down to one team.
She moved up a year to cheer, cuz they are short on girls.
Dying sport in the younger grades
The attitude and actions of the hired entertainers are costing the owners money. In modern day politically correct America, it is difficult for these owners to protect their own interests by demanding a code of behavior from black employees. The situation will only get worse.
Trump needs to leave this alone, it will burn itself out when the attention goes away. Its not worth hos trouble. If it continues the market will decide.
Forget it, NFL is gone; just dying a slow death.
If the NFL gets a certain amount funds from the government, Trump should just withdraw it citing cause of breach of contract.
No flyovers, no military presenters, and no honor guards.
Let the NFL start playing rap and hip hop before games, during commercial breaks and at halftime Nothing would drive the honkies away faster than the sounds of the NBA type of rah rah c r a p playing at ear splitting volumes, which is where they are headed. The Seahawks have music BLASTING during practices, and inside the locker rooms nearly all the time. It is the wave of the future they are running towards.
Stir the pot a little, Donnie boy.
The fans are still psssd at these dumbass owners and their cowardly non-actions.
The league, in its efforts to try to “bail out” the players and the players association, has not accomplished anything but hardened more people against the league.
The act of “I’m sorry we didn’t know we were putting down the flag and those that gave so much to defend it,” didn’t float because it was disingenuous (for those of you in San Francisco that means a lie). Putting them in the locker rooms for those that didn’t want to participate in a proper flag ceremony didn’t work because they couldn’t get their “point” across without having to actually talk to someone of authority as they are cowards and can’t be up front about their complaints.
Let the league be recognized for what it is being used for. An opportunity to try to point out the mistakes or unlawful acts of a series of racial situations when one not mentioned is killing their own faster than it can be accomplished in their complaint.
Mathew 7:3
Contemporary English Bible Version
“You can see the speck in your friend’s eye, but you don’t notice the log in your own eye.”
Luke 4:23 (King James Version):
And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country.
The phrase alludes to the readiness and ability of physicians to heal sickness in others while sometimes not being able or willing to heal themselves. The players are able, they just aren’t willing. They don’t have the integrity to admit being wrong, being guilty or just plain stupidity. And they are being paid millions of dollars yearly that most people will never see in their entire lives. To play a game.

As a soccer fan, I am very happy to say that at the recent World Cup, nobody took a knee, or raised a fist, and EVERY player sang their national anthem.
The BLMPA is now in charge of the post-NFL. The “owners” can’t enforce the regulations or decide how the “players” who “work” for them should behave while “at work”. I’d like to see the “owners” cancel the upcoming season. Let these spoiled, hate-filled wretches figure out what they’re going to do without their ridiculous paychecks. To hell with them.
I have a hard time understanding how a league allows players to dictate how they operate and is apparently afraid to address the issue and put a stop to it. I have no respect for players and teams that continue this. Roger Goodell needs to grow a pair and stop it.
NFL — stand up to the players and put an end to kneeling for the anthem with fines to the player and the team that escalate as players continue to disrespect the flag. Shut them down completely.
