Steve Bannon: NFL players should take a knee and 'thank God' Trump is president
Washington Examiner ^ | September 26, 2017 | Caitlin Yilek

Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon thinks NFL players should be kneeling to thank God for President Trump rather than protesting during the national anthem.

"If people in this country take a knee and the national football league players want to take a knee, they should take a knee at night, every night, and thank God in heaven Donald J. Trump is president of the United States," Bannon told Fox News on Monday.

"He has saved this country so much grief. He has done such a tremendous job with virtually no help," Bannon continued.

Trump's feud with the NFL stretched into its fifth day, as the president began his day attacking the league's ratings.

He urged the NFL to create a rule to prevent players from taking a knee during the anthem.

"The only way out for them is to set a rule that you can't kneel during our National Anthem!" Trump tweeted Monday.

Yes, yes. Bannon is great.

And remember all the people on FR who said Trump was finished when Gorka and Bannon left?

Let Trump be Trump. Trust the guy. He's a lot smart than the rest of us.

Nice perspective, DoughtyOne.

Herman Cain was on Atlanta radio this morning ( and every morning MTWTF 9 to 11 ) saying the BLM protesters of the NFL are disrespecting the flag and their very premise is completely wrong.

There is no “rampant racism” in this country as they claim. It doesn’t exist. Just a few bad apples. Just as there are a few bad apples in the NFL — and a few bad apples in every group in society.

In times like these we really a black voice of authority like Cain to speak out. Herman’s great. And he’s right.

He is right, and over the last four days or so, I’ve run across information that destroys these protester’s world view on every point.

The information is so crushing, I’ve been seriously tempted to write an article for FR addressing each area of focus.

Thank you.

I take your comment seriously. I would not be surprised to see Bannon running for President in 2024!

I think that at least player could, right after the anthem, drop to their knees, fold their hands, lift up their faces, and pray to God. Show the Country what is really, and perfectly important!

I believe there already is a rule about conduct during the anthem. The NFL just choses to ignore it in favor of C>

Millionaire players, millionaire coaches, millionaire general managers, millionaire owners, millionaire NFL management. We simply all supported a pyramid scheme.

I think this is an excellent result! Because Trump had to support Strange in loyalty to McConnell who he needs tax reform from.

But the MAGA movement itself knew what to do — get a more conservative guy in — and someone committed to supporting Trump. Trump wins both ways. He supports McConnell, but gets better people in the Senate.

This result is going to strike the fear of God in the GOPe. TRiUMPh big time!

So combine this with Bob Corker not running again, and the NFL brand in freefall, we are winning big time this week!

Still listening to Bill Mitchell almost every day and he and his team are calling the play by play of Trump’s miraculous presidency.

Yes, and a government supported pyramid scheme.
