Falcons owner Arthur Blank expressed concern about Trump because on Holocaust Remembrance Day, Trump’s commemorating statement did not specifically mention the six million Jews who were killed during World War II. Blank himself is Jewish.

And yet, he's not opposed to singling his people out for mention.
Every single one of us knows the Jewish end of this story. What Trump was trying to do, was make sure everyone knew all the others who were part of the Holocaust.
This guy never stood up and whined when they weren't mentioned year after year after year.
Leave the Jews out of it one year, and this guy goes vocal.
Is it his position that Trump hates Jews or something? If not, why open his yap?
The Jews are synonymous with the Holocaust. This guy didn't know that?
I'm as big a supporter of Israel and the Jews as anyone, but it does irritate me how special interest groups look for any slight they can dream up, to whine.
We have the Jews and Israel's back. If this idiot doesn't know it by now, he's not fit to judge things in public.
He does realize the very nature of the game being played today is separating people....doesn't he?
A common figure cited for non-Jews who were slaughtered by the Nazis is 5 million. They’re supposed to be lost to history?
Shut up Blank. Go build some porches somewhere.
Robert Kraft is a jew and a good friend of Trump.
Not me-—I’m on the riding the brother ship today. GO FALCONS!!!
Forget Blank.
You are fired!
I imagine Blank thinks that Trump is a Nazi because he failed to mention the 6 million Jews that were killed by Hitler. I hate liberals. They’re constant victims....
Blank doesn’t want anything separating us, so he only wanted Jews mentioned in the Holocaust statement and how dare the homosexuals, Catholic clergy and disabled, be included. OK. Liberal Jews like Blank let Obama piss all over Israel.
Normally I would be pulling for the Falcons because of former Bama superstar Julio Jones, but I can’t do it.
I still haven’t decided if I will watch any of the game. I definitely won’t be watching The halftime show.
I just hope Julio has a great game. OTOH, Aurthur Blank can pound sand.
The countries these refugees are from, want to...
blow us up, behead anyone who disagrees with them, turn free America into islam, make sharia law the one law, make their god the only god, make women 4th class people, use their children for their purpose, marry the young girls to older men, spread hate everywhere and DOMINATE the world with their beliefs and their laws.
Until these who want to treat them as any other time and any other country.. understand this... they will remain ignorant to the point they are dangerous!
Just realize, obama brought them in by the thousands and only .03% were Christians. If obama wanted to help the ones who were being killed, he would have brought in 99% Christians. His goal was not to help ... his goal was to infiltrate this country with able bodied men who were anti America... bent on causing trouble. They were taken care of better than our vets.
Have you ever had a conversation with these people from those countries? I have never seen such rude speaking people as they are.
I hear you. I am a Jets fan, so I was born to hate the patriots but, if they win, I won’t have a big problem with it, lol!
Namath said No, but I bet Arthur Blank does. Cracked me up.
Camera cut over to Blank who was not amused. Looked royally pissed. No sense of humor. Or maybe that is why he is on wife #3-a little too inclusive & diverse maybe.
Hey Art, when you were in school the overriding theme was that America was a MELTING POT. Did you attend a private school that taught something else?
What ticks me off is if we have another terror attack, and we will, guess who they are going to blame? Trump. And they are going to blame him for months, saying he is inept and not qualified blah blah blah when THEY are fighting him every step of the way to ENSURE we have another terror attack! I really think that is their goal: To have a terror attack to make him look inept.
Well then, BLANK Arthur.
GO PATRIOTS!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
just helped me decide who to root for!
Go Pats, Kraft & Tom
make football history today
I had nobody to root for (If anything I was Against the PATs due to their crybaby cheating smugness).
However, I must now prefer the PATs because the Falcons now belong to the political BS party
A long time Saints fan living here in the Atlanta area. Always hated the Falcons, but had sort of lukewarm support simply because my friends here are fans. Screw it, Pats all the way!
I am a Falcons fan but I absolutely detest Arthur Blank Brain. Someone else needs to buy the Falcons and send his liberal ass back to NY. If the Pats win today at least I will take pleasure in knowing how much this will bother him.
I am aware of the abominable behavior of some people in Nazi Germany, and of the death and destruction dealt upon the “Jews”. With that said....I AM SICK AND TIRED OF BEING POUNDED OVER THE HEAD WITH THE HOLOCAUST. Seriously, 100 million may have been killed in the decades surrounding WW II. Why must the killing of the Jews be the most talked about, worried about, guarded against and brought up? It was literally a drop in a bucket of blood.
We as a nation, as a people need to get rid of this collective guilt. We feel it for slavery, for the holocaust, for being anti sodomite marriage, for not feeding those who would not get off the couch domestically, for not providing for the care AND cessation of children we have not fathered, and the feeding of 5 billion worldwide, who won’t learn how to feed themselves.
Oh yes, we feel the guilt, we are triggered by our reaction to it. We no longer want to be free men, because others are not. So we crawl, beg for mercy, and whine like a slave whos Master found we did not serve him correctly.
I guess what I am saying is, I will no longer play this evil game. The Holocaust happened 70+ years ago, and I don’t care any longer. Never again to me, means never again will government be allowed to become so strong that it can enslave us all. THAT is the lesson to be learned from the Holocaust.
