As advertisers voice their opinions, another "winner".
Actually, it’s the NFL vs America.
Like many others, I’ve just cancelled my NFL Ticket with Directv. Normally, one cannot cancel after the season begins but DTV is allowing cancellations over the protests. I asked if they were getting many cancellations and was told that answering that question would cost the agent his job.
Wouldn’t it be fun if Trump held a rally in the city of the most vilest or NFL kneelers at the same time as their game? I laugh just thinking about it! He could have the fly-overs, military bands, etc.
When my president lied to me and claimed 4 of my comrades were murdered because of a video insulting Muslims...I didn't take a knee.When my president shipped pallets of cash to my sworn enemy...I didn't take a knee.
When my president failed to identify Muslims as terrorists and Islam as an enemy of the state...I didn't take a knee.
When my president claimed that a man who tried to kill another man who lawfully defended himself could be his son...I didn't take a knee.
When my president defended a thug who bum rushed law enforcement...I didn't take a knee.
When my president ordered businesses to spend unnecessary funds to appease a minority of people who need mental intervention far more than they need their own toilet...I didn't take a knee.
When my president ordered that words 'one nation under God' be removed from the pledge of allegiance...I didn't take a knee.
When my president lied to me and said I could keep my doctors and my premiums would go down...I didn't take a knee.
When my president spent my tax dollars in foreign lands to interfere in their elections...I didn't take a knee.
While my president sat by passively and enabled ISIS to emerge as a stronger force dedicated to spreading Islamic ideals by committing murder, rape and torture...I didn't take a knee.
When my president allowed dictators and murderers to violate his red lines and continue to murder women and children with chemical gas...I didn't take a knee.
When my president chastised law enforcement for their actions but ignored the violence in our streets...I didn't take a knee.
When my president identified the weather as the greatest threat to America's safety while Muslims worldwide are murdering innocent people...I didn't take a knee.
While my president's insistence that pacifism and reform in numerous areas of the globe would bring peace but instead led to the strengthening of those that seek to destroy us...I didn't take a knee.
When the election of my president broke barriers never thought possible in America ended up being the high point of his eight years in office...I didn't take a knee.
In all that time I never disrespected our Country, our Armed Forces and Veterans, or our Nation. I remained vigilant. And I got a new president...... #maga
Odd how the haters in the MSM 'miss' so many obvious facts... like how many cops are murdered by black men...

People are tired of seeing their values, religion, heritage and even their very being mocked and disparaged by the MSM,,the entertainment industry and celebrities. This insult to their flag and all it represents by NFL players, the corporate entity and the owners was not to be tolerated despite the immense popularity of the sport. The NFL and some of its storied franchises have been damaged. They have been exposed to have no honor. Tomlin, Goodel and their ilk are not competent or decent people. If they were, they would have either stopped the insults to America or they would have resigned.
Before last week, if the NFL or an owner wanted to, this could have happened
* player kneels
* owner fires player
* player’s lawyer challenges (1st amendment ...)
* owner shows contracts, league rules,...
* no legal issue exists, not a 1st amendment violation
After last week the same situation would result in
* Trump (government) says “fire that SOB if he kneels”
* player kneels
* owner fires
* player challenges (1st amendment ...)
* owner shows contracts, league rules,...
* player says “government demanded the firing”
* legal issue. owner stuck in the middle
Owners cannot fire anyone now without a HUGE mess.
After watching the last 2 years of tweeting and speaking, Trump is either the luckiest SOB in the history of the world, or he has a GREAT understanding of what his statements will lead to. It’s more likely than not that Trump understood (or had an instinct) that his statements would lead to results like
1) Stop owners from firing anyone (no simple/quick resolution left since it IS a 1st amendment issue now)
2) Fire up his base
3) Get liberals to spout off all sorts of stupidity (from his base point of view)
4) Reduce trust in the medias as they spout off more stupidity.
5) Because of point (1) liberals will be arguing against the US flag into 2018 (election year with liberals literally running against the US flag)
He probably tweets off instinct, not thinking through all of the possibilities, but he as an instinct that leads to these types of results rather than “his campaign is doomed this time” results.
The problem here is not connecting the dots to the democrats who created racial divisuon when Obama through the abuse of his office and the “Bully Pulpit” began creating “victims” out of blacks engaged in criminal activities who were not just resisting legal arrest but responding by attacking legal authority and endangering their lives .
Until this get exposed along with its political purposes which was creating racial division and a impeachable proof barrier as the continung political discourse which has been expanded to include “white guilt” will continue.
When blame the cops for cold blooded killings started by Obama’s it was through his use of the Bully Pulpit. It began with his comments during the Zimmerman trial. Those inspired at least 10* deadly assaults ending in death of any non black who wandered near or in “hoods” controlled by members cf black ganags. One such noteable case is that of Christopher Lane an Australian murdered by Crypts while visiting Duncan Oklahoma.*(I think the figure is more like 20 racially inspired murders)
Obama was never held accountable for his inflamatory remarks. And because he wasn’t he contunued hammering away creating a wider racial division targeting police authority which resulted in cops being targeted and murdered in cold blood.
THIS IS NEVER BROUGHT OUT WHEN THE NFL ACTION GETS DISCUSSED...
‘This is what real locker room talk is’: The NFL’s Joe Lockhart levels a shot at Trump
Joe Lockhart, the NFL’s executive vice president of communications, wasn’t messing around Monday.
A former White House press secretary under President Clinton, Lockhart used surgical precision in leveling a shot at President Trump
Lockhart was a strategist in the Clinton White House during the Monica Lewinsky scandal
Lockhart’s comment shows that sports and politics in the Trump era aren’t going to be untangled anytime soon and, frankly, that’s probably partly why he was hired.
Lockhart, a former TV producer and the son of journalists, joined the NFL in the winter of 2016, replacing Paul Hicks as the league’s vice president of communications. (Hicks is the father of Hope Hicks, Trump’s communications director.) Clearly, he knows just what message he wants to send.
He also happens to have rented his home in Washington DC to a certain former president named Barack Obama.
The NFL vs America. I’ll bet not one of the kneelers is in possession of actual facts.
Dear NFL and Players, federal law says you are to stand during the playing of the national anthem.

Yeah, I know it is just a federal law, so who cares.
