On this weekends 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.

When was the last time Rove was right about anything? If he said it was Tuesday, I’d have to check the calendar to be sure.
So they’re supposed to play with the team short half a dozen players? Screwing up their rotation, giving the other players more reps, probably more injuries, and losing the game due to the extra fatigue? Especially if it’s a big name starter. Cutting their nose off to spite their face won’t do anything. “Well we were going to start our $20 million QB, but he kneeled.”
Write that on your white boardand stick it up ulur ash loser.
Karl Rove, one of the most irrelevant, elitist bubble dwellers in America, proving yet again how totally out of touch he is with the common folk.
Patriots should ditch the NFL, NBA and MLB and advocate for other sports ventures.
Like synchronized rifle marksmanship.
Karl Rove was a big advocate of his boss’s needless Second Iraq War. based on lying premises and which killed 6000 of our best, maimed countless others and ruined Iraq. He should be ashamed to open his mouth on any issue. You can see him on YouTube on the Fox Election Night coverage, wildly claiming that Speaker Ryan won Wisconsin for Trump; the truth was that Trump won without Ryan and the Fox team put Rove in his place immediately.
“He was against the federal government interfering”
How is Trump interfering? He gave his opinion. Does Rove think Trump can order the firing of players?
I saw that immediately. If that floor jack gives out he's dead.
Each week they will lose more and more support.
Yes. That's exactly the point. Is their loyalty to their teamates or to leftist politics. Let's find out.
But that’s NOT loyalty to the team, that’s the team screwing itself for no good reason. In the end the job of the team is to win football games with the players they have. They can decide they don’t like those players at the end of the season and get rid of them, but you put up with who you’ve got until the season ends. Benching players for non-football behavior is counter to the purpose of the team, would only be done by the dumbest of the dumb, and if it was a coach that did it the owner should fire them IMMEDIATELY, like go down to the sideline and take their headset.
BS. Rove how many times will you humiliate yourself before people realize your long past your time???
Yes you gave Bush 2 wins playingthread the needle rather than going big...
Trump went big and won... keep playing small ball Rove it’s all you know.
I was at a bar watching that Steelers in Pittsburgh watching the start of the game and everyone there was there to watch the game... everyone cheered 78 for coming out and standing for the national anthem, and booed the rest of the team when they came out after... and this is in pittsburgh, full of life long born and bred Steeler fans.
Why is it the right of a black entertainer to insult his audience? Time to just end football.
Wish they’d booed, got up and asked for their money back!
nascar is on.
The only loser I see is Karl Rove.
You can bet he is betting for a return of Jeb Bush behind the scenes.
The game play is to impeach Trump, Pence becomes the PRez, and Pence nominates Jeb to be VP, to bipartisan support.
And the Swamp remains in control.
Never, ever trust Karl Rove.
Is that old egg still alive?
Yes...but his cerebral cortex is dead.
