Remember when Charles Barkley got slammed for saying, "I am not a role model".
Three of those companies are foreign-owned (A-B InBev, Barclays, Bridgestone) and three more effectively generate most of their revenue through foreign manufacturing operations (Microsoft, Nike, UnderArmour). Why should they have any say-so about American anything?
“...they called Trump’s comments “inappropriate, offensive and divisive.” More owners have followed. At the league level, the NFL released a statement in which Commissioner Roger Goodell called the comments “divisive” and said they “demonstrate a lack of respect for the NFL, our great game and all of our players.””
Do you need me to translate this for you? It goes something like this: “We all hope this will blow over by the playoffs, and certainly by next season, so we just want to be quiet for a while. Then you put us in the spotlight, so now we have to say something, even if we don’t intend to actually do anything either way if we can help it.”
I would stop the taxpayer funding of stadiums and remove the broadcast licenses of the networks and have someone else buy them with a stipulation that you support the country plus ban the advertisers from advertising on the networks who support the undermining of the country. See if money talks.
College alumni won’t let it happen, guaranteed.
“We should all boycott all of those brands. Forever.
With the exception of Visa and on occasion FedEx, we already do!
>>and the list goes on and on
Obama’s “comments”
Trump’s “rhetoric”
Good one!
Trump is divisive
Obama is courageous, saying things that some people didn’t want to
hear, but need to be said
>>Should be a national boycott of the NFL.
Certainly should be, but it’s pretty cleart that a very high percentage of NFL fans are as badly addicted as heavy drug users.
>>NFL = Nothing-but Foul-ups-and Losers
***************************************
NFL = No Fans Left
If they play a game and nobody watches, did the game really happen?
Stop supporting the NFL with your time, money, TV ratings and the owners will tell payers, “Stand or stay off the field.”
Leftists are exploding over this. Think think this is a misstep by Trump.
THEY ARE WRONG.
The fanbase of the NFL is working class conservative. They are offended by this. Those cheering on the protests are NOT football fans.
This is a big win for Trump. NFL owners want to shut it down, but fear they’ll be called racist.
Shawn “Talcum X” King says over 100 players are going to protest tomorrow by kneeling.
Trump has elevated it. He’s also playing the media. On the verge of repealing Obamacare and all the MSM is talking about is a loser issue for Dems — showing disrespect for our flag, anthem, country, and veterans.
Trump has also made this a CAMPAIGN ISSUE.
Dems will be forced to side with anti-Americanism and extreme leftists over the working class white voters.
First it was the Ten Commandments, prayers in public, Christmas displays, then they went after the confederate flags, then the statues..where does it end? We keep giving in to their demands only to be met with more until they strip us of any heritage at all. We can be the generation that ended America if we keep allowing these commie basterds to do this. I hate them, I hate them all.
The goal is to destroy American history. They want us to hate our country so that we will give in to the globalist elites.
If you kneel for the Anthem, take down statues, ridicule those who fought and died for this country, they you’ve been conquered without a shot being fired.
Hillary’s loss is blamed on ‘antiquated notions of nationalism’ which the elites are trying to equate to white supremacy. Love your country? You’re a racist.
This is just one chess move in the big game.
But it’s a major mistake by the elites. The working class voters who actually comprise the fanbase of the NFL are offended by the lack of respect to our flag and country. Trump is on the winning and popular side of this debate.
WE have the power to shut down this nonsense by boycotting.
Like Alex Jones or not, he NAILS it in this rant on NFL/Trump. Worth a watch:

And I can live with out any of them.
Forget Mastercard, soros is deep in that one. Already cancelled mine several months ago for that reason. No kellogg products in then house now either nor their off shoot brands.
Today could be the tipping point for either the demise or success of professional sports. Get your popcorn ready.
