“President Trump told a gathering of the Republican Party’s richest donors”
It has to TOTALLY SUCK to be these swamp creatures and have to subject yourself to that neanderthal Trump...just to continue getting goodies from DC.
One can only imagine what they’re saying to each other...especially after the job Roy Moore did on their buddies in Alabama.
The almighty dollar will win on this one. NFL is all about money, when it slows down, they will start to rethink.
All we have left in America is apple pie, but that probably has gluten and won't be around much longer.
It is ludicrous that Goodell and the NFL have decided to engage in a power struggle with President Trump.
Actually, it seems it all started with:
The story behind the story is that likely all this horrible controversy was initially caused by a radical Muslim woman. What would the USA think about this if this gets out, like it should? Does President Trump know this?
I see sources claiming that the NFL Game Operations Manual specifies proper behavior for national anthem respect, and lists consequences that can be meted out for violation:
“The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem.
“During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”
Instead, Commish Goodell, ever the incompetent, weakling libtard chose to grovel to the protest, verbally sanctioning the politicization of the NFL's entertainment.
Huge, incredibly stupid mistake.
A larger mistake will be if he keeps his current job much longer.
Too late to fix it now. It has spread all over the nation.
Also, I want to give a shout out to B.O., the bogus POTUS, for his "War on Cops", mischaracterizing Gates/Crowley, Ferguson. Baltimore, in an effort to re-ignite racial divisiveness in fidelity to Marxist/Alinsky goals to divide the people. This being the false premise that ignorant dupe Sideshow Bob cited for his heinous protest, and his little cartoon mocking Piggy Cop socks he wore on the NFL field.
One last observation. I have yet to hear a mature, reasoned response from any NFL personnel on this escalating issue. There seems a formula: drop a few clichés, make some whiny excuses.
I don't think this ends well for the NFL.
