Let them get real jobs.
I’m done with the NFL.
They do not want to be the football league of THIS nation.
Yeah, they want to consider the other nations in the Middle East heroes, but who ends up dead in Egypt and Saudi Arabia, and other hardliners Islamic nations?
Imagine the president had begun his comments by saying something along these lines:
To see professional athletes publicly dishonor the flag for which hundreds of thousands of Americans have died, the flag that millions of Americans have seen drape the coffin of their child, their spouse, their sibling, their parent, or other loved one is as morally repulsive as it un-American. Of course, these players have the right of free speech and so do I, and that is precisely the right I am exercising now.
Had he spoken that way, would the Left not have characterized him as divisive?
Answer: yes
I say Obama and company , and the fake journalist, who covered for him are mostly to blame.
Meh. We've already got enough ditch diggers, burger flippers and car wash attendants. Let them find another, more 'just' country and find a real job there!
Liberalism is a chronic, no-cure mental disease.
There is not a day goes by that we see another classic example of it.
Liberalism kills everything it touches....worse than cancer.
At some point, It’s gonna reach a tipping point and will need to be purged from the face of the land in order to just survive.
Trump just holds up the mirror.
Basically, the BLM movement was brought into the NFL and the owners, realizing that 75% of their players supported BLM had thought it best to comply. The problem is that most of the customers do NOT support BLM and resent having to stomach their crap every week. A conflict of interest, to say the least.
Of the 16 teams that that stood for the Anthem Sunday, 10 won.
Of the 6 teams that stood who lost, 5 played against teams that also stood
Only 1 team that stood (Houston) lost against a team that knelt (New England), and by only three points. That game was much closer than it should have been.
New England is the only kneeling or absent team that won against a standing opponent.
Kapperpunk started this many months before Trump became President.
From the way this story is being reported, you would think this started after the president was elected.
This knee disrespecting the country started before president Trump was elected.
5.56mm
That started a fire that will burn down the NFL. Trump's contribution was to throw a tanker full of gasoline on it.
All you really need to do to get an A is agree with the teachers radical views and suck up to the teacher in class.
Some of the more lazy and less than academically gifted student athletes gravitate to these types of courses for obvious reasons.
It seems the NFL has a lot of these less than gifted students who have taken a lot of the campus Gender, racial, ethnic,critical race theory and queer/transgender studies class offerings.
It's pretty obvious that they have been indoctrinated and radicalized in the hate and resentment taught in these classes to the extent that they are unable to realize the sweet gig they have .
They are also too stupid to realize that they are destroying the NFL brand name and offending their fan base and too angry, entitled and arrogant to give a darn.
These dips should have taken history where they could have learned about all the previous sports organizations, going back to the Gladiators of Rome , who ran their sweet little celebrity gig into the ground by the corruption born of hubris, extravagant wealth and arrogance
Maybe President Trump should announce a military draft for NFL players and ship them over to Afghanistan...
The NFL gives America the middle finger,
So Americans give the NFL the boot.
They should have stuck with playing football, and not being a bunch of overpaid punk-ass BLM SJW’s who like to advocate the assassination of police officers and killing whitey.
Alienating your audience and/or customers is not a good business strategy for any industry.
The players.
The elites have de facto re-written the Constitution to convey upon themselves privileges (formerly known as the Bill of Rights). We the little people don’t enjoy those privileges.
When the players take a knee it’s courageous, within their first amendment rights and laudable (at least by their fellow elites).
When the little people object and try to assert their rights? What rights are those? Oh no, it’s a case of inflaming hatred or being racist.
The real civil war is not right v. left. That is a canard. The real civil war is the elite v. the little people.
Goes without saying... and it's too formal and carefully constructed of a statement, which makes it sound like it's insincere coming from Trump.
One of the things I really like about Trump is his ability to address the core of an issue with a pithy statement, and without using remote, disembodied, analytical language. He uses zingers instead of flowery syntax, language that telegraphs sincerity and honesty instead of caution. A carefully constructed statement like Prager insists upon would not be Trump's style, and many of these same NRO NeverTrump pundits would likely criticize him for having someone else write his opinions for him.
