Yeah, well if you look at the title of this thread, you’ll see that it concerns the NFL and NASCAR, not Seattle. If you’re going to make silly statements about how it just isn’t possible not to support the NFL because it’s just too darn important and how even Trump can’t be expected to avoid it, then back them up with something, or just stop posting nonsense.

A little while ago I saw a so-called public service announcement with a number of FAGCAR drivers calling for racial justice, equality, etc.

Up yours, FAGCAR over-paid punk drivers.

You should have read ny initial post on this thread. It was about the NFL not Seattle. My main point was that it will be a hard promise to keep indefinitely.

But I view this as a really trivial example of a bad habit that Trump has. Seattle was my example where it really counts. He made a prediction that I don’t think he will want to keep. I happen to believe that making that prediction was a mistake. It is being used against him by the Dems and a bunch of dimwitted Generals.

So I don’t believe Trump will send the Army to Seattle to invade that now famous country of CHAZ where the Summer of Love is just getting rolling. They will self-destruct and I believe the President understands that.

Not everything in Trumps world is as it appears on the surface, he’s a smart guy who instinctively knows his enemy better than they know themselves.

Trumps announcement was taking advantage of the Lefts reflexive response to oppose whatever he says.

In this case it caused them to immediately dig in to support the Anti-American occupiers.

Everyone knows how it will turn out, they occupiers will most likely slink away and Trump will be proven right once again.

Snort. NFL is pure leftist crap. Has never supported the President. And NASCAR is not the social influence they used to be. Those that still like it will support the President rather than the weak kneed pukes in charge of it.

Isn't it exactly the REVERSE?

They just LOST TRUMP and his support for them.

I don’t care about your thoughts on Seattle. You jumped in this thread with the express purpose of discouraging any resistance to the NFL and, to that end, used the ridiculous claim that Trump himself couldn’t possibly stay away from the NFL even as they crap on the flag. I’m not exactly sure what your game is, but to me you’re either a troll or a fool.

Give me a break. This is a FORUM where we exchange ideas. You obviously don’t agree with that. That’s your right.

We happen to disagree on what I believe is a trivial issue. You believe that it is very important. You could be right, I just don’t think so. As I understand it, your position is that you believe we should boycott the NFL and I assume all their advertisers. I think that is totally impractical and I happen to like football. And I like Trump, the best President in decades if not more. I just think that encouraging a boycott was a small mistake.

But I and many others here at FR believe Trump occasionally makes mistakes. He is good, very good but still human. For example, it is taking him a long time to choose a clean house guy like Barr to head up the FBI. If you don’t agree with that you must like Chris Wray - which I seriously doubt.

Stay well. I am not the enemy nor are you. There are plenty of those out there that really threaten us.

If these were normal times, I would agree with you - this is a subject we might discuss genially over coffee and have a few laughs. But we are literally right in the middle of an attempted coup on the USA, after 3.5 years of leftist undermining of the US government and attempts to nullify the last presidential election, and after 4 months (and counting) of a false pandemic which has been used to destroy the US economy.

It is inexcusable, at this point, for someone claiming to be a conservative patriot on a conservative web forum to be attempting to demoralize and undermine even the slightest hint of resistance to the anti-American propaganda, moreso when that resistance is merely in the form of simply not supporting an organization that has clearly decided to side with the enemy.

That stuff you are seeing on the news isn't a TV show - it's the real thing. Get your mind right or get out of the way.
