"I am deeply disappointed by the tone of the comments made by the President on Friday. I am proud to be associated with so many plagers who make such tremendous contributions in positively impacting our communities. Their efforts, both on and off the field, help bring people together and make our community stronger. There is no greater unifier in this country than sports, and unfortunately, nothing more divisive than politics. I think our political leaders could learn a lot from the lessons of teamwork and the importance of working together toward a common goal. Our players are intelligent, thoughtful and care deeply about our community and I support their right to peacefully affect social change and raise awareness in a manner that they feel is most impactful."

Somebody is in charge of the NFL and it is not the owners.
BS, Mr Kraft...BS....
The BLM is in charge now.
I hope Trump tweets out the truth out black crime and criminals. Someone is shooting black people all right.
Patriots are no longer Americans
We need a total boycott of those A holes and their games, enough is enough. I am doing just that and have not watched a single pre season or regular game and have no intentions to do so until the foolishness ends.
And your taxes pay for their stadium so they can have more bucks to pay their illiterate felons.
Suckers.
Here's a clue....most shooting occur in dim run cities.
Starting with Chicago.
He is a New England liberal. He is in Taxsatusstus. No different than any of the slime ball liberals around. Just like the statement made by the thug LEEbrone James yesterday. Of course he is upset that his beloved butt buddy obammy is gone. Puke on him. I quit watching the NBA 25 years ago. I could care less about the stinking NBA and its gangs of thugs from the ghetto. Same with the NFL. I could care less. Have not watched the NFL games in a few years now. I found better things to do than set in from of the boob tube and watch a bunch of thug millionaires play ball. I put my time in things that matter to life. Ball games do not matter. It’s called getting a life.
ESAD, NFL
Kraft makes a lot of money off his black athletes. He would rather patronize and exploit them than respect his flag and country.
If folks show up to games, I hope they attend decked out in red, white, and blue, holding American flags, and wearing MAGA hats. And if some idiot/s choose/s to protest, I hope the fans get to their feet and belt out the National Anthem.
That would make for some awesome optics.
Well it’s the owners who pay these sons of bitches who disrespect our flag and the problems starts and ends with the owners.
If they don’t fix it, the fans will fix them.
Perhaps these owners should refuse to allow the left to politicize sports. Also, isn’t the NFL the same outfit that a few years ago, people were not so laughingly calling the National Felon League, because of the high level of criminality of a large number of their players?
What in the hell is wrong with these NFL corporate heads.
Why do they refuse to admit - in their own game attendance records - that the divisiveness is with a few of their own players who seek the advantage of their team’s paid commercial time to interject their political agendas.
The “politics” is with a few team players, and not the majority of team players.
But instead of defending their brand, against the political divisiveness a few of their players are committing, they attack the one American leader who is calling out those few team players who are creating that divisiveness.
What idiots.
The Un-patriots can go to hell. Not one more dime to the America-hating NFL.
I wonder if he is playing his part in the old boys club that seems to be so common in big 4 pro sports ownership. I am certainly not saying he is right to do this, but I wonder if he (or any other owner) were to stick his neck out in support of Trump, the kind of trouble his team and even on a personal level he would be in with these evil people.
Looks like the whole league is taking a knee.
Are there any NFL fans left on this forum?
Has anybody found data on the political leanings of NFL fans?
