And they aren’t even man enough to admit it. Their new story is that this has nothing to do with us Normals, that it's not an insult. No, it's a heartfelt plea for…something. I guess the pig-cop socks and Castro T-shirt were gestures of respect.

The two big lies were that kneeling wasn't about what kneeling was about and that the boycott was only galvanizing the NFL and wasn't effective. Oh sure, but only in their alternative world spun by the willing left wing media.

Anyway, I will be a happier spectator of the NFL this year. Just like I am happier about the goings on of the office of the POTUS. I'm not going to "win" and then not enjoy the win.

I understand those who will "never" again do the NFL. They weren't boycotters obviously, but rather people who were offended at a deeper level and will not return regardless of the responses of the NFL. But they should realize there are plenty of folks like me who hoped that our monetary pressure would adjust the business practices of the NFL. We were heard and even garnered support from our POTUS and I am glad for it.

"There's a great scene in the movie Witness where a bunch of bullies start picking on some Amish farmers, and then they pick on Harrison Ford, who is sporting Extreme Mennonite drag. They knock off his straw hat, laugh at him, and then he beats the crap out of them."

One of my favorites.
I've maintained for a long time that the only way the Left succeeds is by doing what Schlichter mentions re the Fredocons do. They're the equivalent of concern trolls, and really aren't interested in thwarting the Left--they hope that they get eaten last by the monsters they help foster.

Trump swayed NFL owners on anthem rules, Kaepernick case depositions reveal!

The Wall Street Journal obtained depositions from NFL owners, including Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, as part of a grievance case filed by former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick.

According to Jones’ deposition, reviewed by the Journal, the president personally told him, “You can’t win this one.”

“This is a very winning, strong issue for me,” Trump reportedly said in a call with Jones. “Tell everybody, you can’t win this one. This one lifts me.”

The feud between the White House and the NFL began in September 2017, when during a rally, the president suggested that if a player knelt or refused to stand for the anthem, the owner should “get that son of a b—— off the field.”

Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross reportedly said in his deposition that he thought Trump “changed the dialogue.”

“I was totally supportive of [the players] until Trump made his statement,” Ross reportedly said.

Owner of the Houston Texans Bob McNair said he thought the president’s comments were inappropriate.

But McNair, Ross and Jones all reportedly acknowledged that the protests were financially hurting their teams.

Excerpted, go to the link below for full story on how we and President Trump kicked their $orry A$$es.

Any Freeper, who posts that our protests were not impacting the NFL owners, needs to have their brains MRIed to check on their brain injuries or they were/are paid NFL Trolls.
