Kevin Jackson: 'Kaepernick Effect' to Blame for NFL's Ratings Decline
FOX ^ | Sept. 23, 2017 | FOX

Posted on 09/24/2017 6:03:38 AM PDT by bgill

At a rally in Alabama on Friday night, President Donald Trump railed against National Football League players who have protested the national anthem.

He said players who disrespect the flag and refuse to stand for the national anthem should be ejected from the stadium and cut from the team.

"Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, 'Get that son of a b**** off the field right now - he's fired!'" Trump said.

Newt is on FOX right now on the same subject. Saying if these multimillion dollar well known sports figures are feeling oppressed, they need a therapist, not a PR stunt.

The NFL owners now own “the kneel” until they fire the Commissioner.

The line in the sand has been drawn.

How many fans will refuse to show up to games and how many refuse to watch the games?

The Commissioner vs. the fans.

That is “the Super Bowl” this season.

The NFL is about 70% black. The NBA has an even higher percentage at around 75%.

None of the players exhibit any concern about this obvious racial imbalance when it works for them.

These C Suckers play in a stadium built, in most places, from money from the public. They are paid from proceeds paid by the public.

AND THEN they have the gall to protest the country who’s men and women went to war and fought for? And died for? Maimed and crippled fighting for?

Good idea. A lot of Americans who are fed up with this nonsense will probably do the same.

Trump is just saying what most people are thinking. They are tired of the endless whining from entertainers, celebrities, and outrageously paid people whose sole skill moving a ball around a field, diamond or court.

[Robert] Kraft said in a written statement. "There is no greater unifier in this country than sports, and unfortunately, nothing more divisive than politics."

Yeah, and what his players are doing is injecting politics into sport. Does he not see this? Patriot Nation will not be amused.

It seems pretty obvious that these owners have never dug any holes else they would know when to stop digging.

These multimillionaires should go to Cuba or Venezuela, offer all their money for the “revolution” and be happy to live on whatever rations the little people get.

Just saw on Fox News that most of the players kneeled for the National Anthem and stood for ghe British Anthem in the week 3 game in London earlier today.

BOYCOTT THE NFL

I don’t know why they call that stupid prank, “taking a knee”. I know it doesn’t matter if I don’t understand it but it irks me. “Taking a knee” should be for praying or soldiers in a fight to regroup... Not this juvenile, attention getting and selfish behavior. Can’t understand the money being spent to even attend the games under these conditions. Really stupid in so many respects...
