The sports world has responded to President Trumps criticisms of NFL players who protest against the national anthem. On Friday night, Trump gave a fiery speech in Huntsville, Alabama, while speaking at a rally for Republican Senate candidate Luther Strange. President Trump referred to NFL players who protest the anthem as as SOBs. He also said that it would be a winning public relations move if an NFL owner were to fire a player for such a protest.
Trump said:

By Saturday evening, the NFL Players Association, Commissioner Goodell, and the leadership of several different NFL franchises, had responded to Trump.

They’re cowards, shakin in their boots, afraid of their little spoiled ghetto millionaires
And didn’t they in essence FIRE Kaperprick for his Mis Allegiance?
So who did they really find “divisive”?

Yes I agree. Too bad the NFL won't listen. They will end up destroying themselves.
YES, agree completely! The anti trust exemption status should have been pulled last year. It is worth repeating, that the same flag they disrespect is the same flag that has afforded the owners and players to make millions through this legal mechanism. Take that away, and the money will go away.
Arthur Blank sold his share of Home Depot to purchase the Falcons, he has nothing to do with Home Depot. Zero.
NFL is a business and if they want to allow their employees to do this then fine. Allow them to live with the consequences. They could easily say “this is not the street corner, this is a private industry and we have rules and regulations. you have to stand for the anthem while in our uniform on the playing field.”
But they won’t because they’re mostly lefties as well.
Nah, that's not gonna happen. People want diversions from their daily toil. That's the way it's always been.
Gladiator mentality. Us against them. Sport will always be here. Human nature to attract to that.
I now have my Sundays back — thank you, Failing NFL.
“They have way underestimated this one.”
Then they are idiots. Many here, including myself, saw immediately the impact this “protest” was going to have and called it - correctly.
They’ll spin it that the POTUS is the bully, for saying what Joe Six Pack thinks. I’ll be watching an international chess tournament. Can’t beat that rockemsockem action. Sometimes they open with knights instead of pawns!
Skip the bread and circus entirely
Start a conversation about why the Dolphins SUCK!!!!
Why would you think that? They’ve only had a war on football for about 20 years so far, this kneeling crap may be their best tool yet. They want to shut down football and the players provide the best tool, the left is jumping for joy!
Thank you sir. I regret the impact this will have on your investment. A lot of good people will suffer for the minority of idiots out there. I hope it ends quickly and we can all get back to enjoying what is an amazing game and a great America past time. Yet not while this garbage continues. The NFL needs an enema or at least a good “Dixie Chicking”.
Hey NFL owners.
Take your sport and its 85 percent ungrateful negros and go to hell.
Be a cold day in hell before I tune in again.
70+% of NFL players are black. Of course the white, billionaire owners are afraid to call out their players who are behaving like thugs.
