Trump has 'no understanding' of why NFL players kneel during anthem, Giants co-owner says

New York Giants co-owner Steve Tisch says he hopes the NFL has heard the last from President Donald Trump regarding players kneeling during the national anthem.

[Snip]

"Hopefully he'll have much more going on that he's going have to deal with and should deal with and must deal with than worrying about what NFL players do," Tisch said. "He has no understanding of why they take a knee or why they're protesting. When the new season starts, I hope his priorities are not criticizing the NFL and telling owners what to do and what not to do."

They kneel because they are stupid , ungrateful , POS’s

Overpaid morons with an inflated sense of self worth .

Draft them into the U.S. Military , not the NFL .
Maybe they will wake up .

I used to be a Giants fan. They could go 0-16 this year, and I might not notice.

However I, and many other former NFL fans, will not hesitate to tell you where you and your league can go, Mr. Tisch.

I don’t understand why monkeys fling poo, but I don’t like them doing that either.

What this walking pos obviously doesn’t understand is that it does not matter WHY they are protesting. The only thing that matters is that they are spitting on our flag and the graves of our veterans.

The NFL deserves to rot if they allow this again.

Trump doesn’t tell him “what to do”, or not...the fans - staying away in droves - will handle that aspect of the protest.

This clown is trying to find a way to pin the whole kneeling controversy on Trump. Trump isn’t the one out there kneeling and disrespecting the flag and the country.

Try again, Zakeet.

Mr Giants owner, you have no understanding or idea about why millions of people will no longer watch the NFL.

Perhaps you have better things to do, like keeping your infantile players who have destroyed your league in line. I sincerely hope you lose millions this year and that a league so terribly tainted with SJW BS is kicked out of existence.

Have a nice day jerk.

Amen! Tisch has ‘no understanding’ that any player who kneels during Anthem, and disrespects the Flag has no business with a job! All the wealth, payroll, and fans are products of a FREE NATION, with more prosperity than any country in the world, other than maybe Monaco...lol

My take is these fools do not need to be paid millions of dollars to disrespect the VETS, who served and died for their sorry arses!

And the NY Giants may not have many fans left, after that stupid statement!

The Black kneelers are civil rights surrogates for Tisch and his raace. He has lost control and doesn’t know it

Pretty sure they started kneeling before he even won the presidency.

Oh golly, surely a wealthy white Jewish movie investor and executive from New Jersey has an innate understanding of the Black experience.

He'll find time.

I could care less what these worthless idiots think. If not for their athletic ability, most likely 99.9% of them would be in jail and most likely should be anyway. They get a pass most of the time. Maybe they should be focusing on the spousal abuse that so many are guilty of.
