News cycles move quickly. In an election year, it’s not good to speak too soon. In 2016, Trump had a strong October and won the election. Be patient, and be ready for a big finish. In the meantime, don’t buy into the media attempts to claim victory.
You’re just not going to quit digging, are you Drew? You are the Mitt Romney of sports. Try to befriend him; that way neither one of you will be alone.
No, he was in a no moral courage situation; how dare he be honest and truthful. I understand his trepidation however; he’s only worth about $200 million...
I respected Brees a few days ago, now ha, ha, ha, ha!!!
What a pussy!!
Major CUCK!!
>>>That should be a lesson, Don’t say anything !!!<<<
Welcome to the new America where only Leftists are allowed to voice Opinions without any fear of dissent or retribution.
I thank God every day that I was able to grow up in an America that had some sense of civility and sanity.
Players dropping to a knee, in football especially, was always done in unison, upon the instruction from a coach, to demonstrate support and respect for, and solidarity with, a fellow player who was “down” after having apparently sustained an injury during practice or during a game. Pausing and assuming a posture of supplication at a time of uncertainty to show that they care about their teammate, and done as a kind of private, “inside-football” gesture that has never involved the general public, nor has the football community ever solicited the public’s attitudes or opinions about the practice. The practice certainly has religious overtones, which some members of the general public might not like, which may be why “football guys” typically never talk about it. Anyway, Kaepernick, by kneeling, as if in recognition of some unspecified grave harm or harms done to unspecified people by other unspecified people nowhere near the practice field or game-day field of play has cynically coopted this otherwise quiet practice and stripped it of all its solemnity. He kicked the coaches and their authority out of the equation whereas they were ALWAYS the ones to call for “taking a knee” when appropriate. Exploiting the “unity” aspect of the take-a-knee practice, Kaepernick invites shame on all players who don’t participate and do as he does. Meanwhile, teamates and other team personnel who don’t assume the kneeling or genuflecting posture with him have been in foootball their whole lives. They are justified in refraining from taking their queue from Kaepernick, if only because they wish to restrict the use of “taking a knee” to the traditional “man down” purpose and resent Kaepernick’s attempt to hijack that tradition and manipulate them and the tradition to suit his narrow political goals and purposes. Why wouldn’t most sensible “football guys” resent Kaepernick’ selfish misbehavior in splashing all around the public a vaguely prayerful gesture they had only ever used or been involved in when collectively dealing with private “team-only” matters? Tebow never demanded that other players or coaches drop to a knee with him. Why should Karpernick have that kind of power? Has Race Consciousness now replaced God as our new deity?
Remember that most of the players in the NFL have been arrested. They do not like honest people.
He’s their slave now. They own his ass.
NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR SPEAKING THE TRUTH.
He's an aging public figure who became a multi-millionnaire playing a kid's game, and wants one more Super Bowl victory. Even at league minimum, the NFL is overpaid.
Every asshole that pays a cable bill every month underwrites SJW-ism. Fact, not opinion.
Choose between your worthless entertainment or funding the very entities THAT WANT YOU DEAD.
