Karl Rove on NFL Protests: Trump Will Be ‘Walking Away From This a Loser’
Breitbart.com ^ | 24 Sep 2017 | Pam Key

Posted on 09/24/2017 9:57:08 AM PDT by Rockitz

On this weekend’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday,” network contributor and Republican strategist Karl Rove discussed President Donald Trump criticism of NFL players for taking a knee during the national anthem at games.

According to Rove, Trump would be “walking away” from this controversy a “loser.”

...

“He could have come away from this the winner,” he continued. “But he is walking away from this a loser in the minds of the American people for exactly the reasons you pointed out. He was against the federal government interfering and telling the Washington Redskins what their name should be. Now he is saying fire those people if they do not stand and respect the flag. He ought to be an aspirational figure. He should not be a condemnatory figure.”

If any of your moderate or libtard friends want to argue that Trump will lose on this question, point out the following:

The "new" protestors are really saying that they hate Trump more than they love our country.

And in 3 weeks we will be hearing the NFL whine about losing money...

I bet 90% of Trumps voters watch football, and I bet 80% of them don’t this season..

I don’t remember it specifically. Perhaps I should.

He’s been an absolute idiot from early in the Bush administration on.

There’s so much to remember with this guy.

I read the headline, and for about 20 seconds was racking my brain, “Karl Rove? Who’s that again?”

You really don't get it Karl, do you?

I’ve been waiting for the typical “racist” insult to be hurled at the President by some journo-fool.

Rove will pull his nose back out of it, continuing to be a loser!

Trump is already the winner. The NFL, NBA, and now MLB are the losers and they don’t even know it yet. Rove is out to lunch and dare I say a bit cowardly?

They decided to protest their own country and their anthem while overseas in another country.

There does not need be a “boycott” of the NFL - there needs to be a complete, clear break from it. Let it collapse.

Rove is wrong. The players are the losers who will learn that it costs big bucks to be a part of a democratic (losing) cult.

"There is literally nothing the NFL can do about it."

Couldn't the owner or coach send any kneeler directly to the locker room for the rest of the game?

That might put an end to this stuff.
