NFL moms ask Trump to stop ‘divisive language’ in open letter

NFL mothers have sent an open letter to President Trump, defending their sons and pleading for him to “put a stop to the divisive language” he’s been using against them.

“[We] believe in promoting a positive image of professional football players as athletes and young men of character,” reads the letter, which was sent by the Professional Football Players Mothers Association and obtained by BuzzFeed News.

“It saddens the organization to know that President Donald Trump would make our sons — as well as their mothers — the target of inflammatory, offensive comments that are intended to promote anger and hatred, depleting them of their heritage and self-identity.”

The PFPMA, which represents the mothers of NFL players and serves as a support system, sent the letter to Trump on Thursday in the wake of his remarks about the ongoing NFL protests.

Professional Football Players Mothers Association looks like they need quotas. And why not an association for "fathers" or "parents?"

Good luck with that. My sincere hope is that the NFL becomes a thing of the past. Soon.

Sorry moms, I think your coddled millionaire toddlers have checked out of the 'men of character' category.

The week before there were *plenty* of them doing it, that’s why it was mentioned.

“Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, ‘Get that son of a bitch off the field right now. Out! He’s fired. He’s fired!’” the president said at a rally for Republican senator Luther Strange,

This is the exact quote. He never said they should be fired, he asked a question.

I am dumbfounded and how many people base their opinions on what the media says he said rather than finding the truth for themselves

Dear NFL Moms,

Trump did not start this.

But he may well finish it.

Your sons deserve this.

No, Mom. You tell your son to STAND, hand over heart, during the national anthem. Period. Case closed.

The NFL protests took place on Gold Star Mothers’ Day.

A day we honor those moms whose sons have died in the service of our country.

At least you NFL Moms still have your snowflake sons.

An apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree, NFL mothers.

Your entitled idiot sons are the ones being “divisive.”

They might start standing for the Natioal Anthem because the fear that the gravy train will leave the station without them will make them.
But I can damn well guarantee that they will be seething with rage and disdain for the fans that called them on the carpet for their disre see pectful behavior.

Translation:

Please stop before the seats are empty and there’s no more money coming in for my overpaid son to send to his mama.

Yep, that’s it exactly

We have already heard today from an NFL clothing store owner in Pittsburgh whining about slow sales.

Next will be the whining and gnashing of teeth from stadium hot dog and beer vendors.
