.....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.
“I’m troubled by anything directionally in our country that separates people,” Blank told Newsday. “America started without any of us, other than Native American Indians. This country was built on inclusion and diversity, on celebration of those differences, supporting those differences...
Well, I was feeling a little sorry for Atlanta, but now that I know this, I’m glad Brady pulled it off.
Eat s—t, Arthur. Glad your team will be forever associated with choking.
Blank must have been that gangster looking guy on the sidelines.... yes, I peered at the game tonight, I admit.
Didn’t Georgia VOTE for Trump?
Also from the article:
Patriots tight end Martellus Bennett said if the Patriots won the Super Bowl, he would “most likely not” go to the White House because he doesn’t support Donald Trump.
Geez who the hell could one be talking about on Holocaust memorial day? Sick and pathetic is what it is.
Coach B might not have a space on the roster next year for Martellus.
Glad his team lost.
Yup. It was especially heartwarming to watch him once he was on the sideline. At first, he was stoked. Then worry set in. Then frustration. Then I stopped seeing him.
Winning feels better after reading this.
And Robert Kraft and Tom Brady are BIG Trump supporters, so I put the Atlanta 2nd half collapse and subsequent loss down to The Trump Effect.
Arthur should have kept his mouth shut
What in the $#@%^& does Trump have to do with the Holocaust?
I’m tired of this crap!!!!
Turns 75 in Sept. and married three times...with six kids...he always has a younger woman hanging on to him when he attends the Atlanta games, and I guess she is wife #3, who has three children from her former relationship. I figured she was just hanging on for money...since he is a billionaire.
Co owner and founder of Home Depot. and trashes our PRESIDENT..
WAS sorta hoping Falcons would win, and in the first half it appeared so, but when I read his background and history, I was ‘sorta’ glad his team lost...
Hope Brady RETIRES THIS YEAR...ENOUGH OF HIM..AS FOR BELECHEK, HAVEN'T CARED FOR THE GUY SINCE HIS CLEVELAND DAYS..
BUT ANY WAY...SURE GLAD THAT GAME IS OVER...that was all Fox could talk about this past week...had enough of it...
and come summer it will all begin all over again...whew
The fool was on the sidelines waiting for the win Ha
He’s a scumbag. I’m a Cowboys fan and I know for a fact that he went to a meeting/gathering when he was with Dallas and said at the podium in front of a crowd that he was only there for the white women and beer.
To be Trump supporters in Beantown....I haven’t heard the libs talking about this.
They did play a good game.
Atlanta blew it big time. You could tell the owner from Atlanta thought they had this. Not so fast, Mister.
Directionally? I'm trouble with people who get a public microphone that don't have a working knowledge of the English language. With the notable exception of the great Yogi Berra. You're not in Yogi's league, Blank.
I heard today that the Falcons said they wouldn’t go to the White House if they won the Super Bowl, in protest of Trump. This article makes that seem true.
Glad the Pats won.
I don’t feel sorry for his team now.
