Seahawks Doug Baldwin on Donald Trump’s comments on anthem: ‘He’s an idiot, plain and simple’
Seattle Times ^ | May 25, 2018 | Bob Condotta

A few days ago, Seahawks receiver Doug Baldwin was hoping he wouldn’t be in a position anytime soon to be asked a question about the national anthem and a statement by president Donald Trump that would result in a headline-making comment.

Baldwin, like many of his NFL-playing counterparts, thought the issue of players making protests during the anthem was receding and the focus turning to the league acting in concert with players to address their concerns that led to the protests in the first place.

Baldwin might do well to keep in mind that Trump is a self-made real estate tycoon and, not least, President of the United States, while Baldwin is a musclebound mental defective who makes a living running around on a grassy field with an oblong inflated ball playing a children’s game.

Yes Trump is so dumb that he found a way to defeat Hitlery and the entire Obama administration. A complete moron. The aNtiFL is finished and here’s someone that is truly dumb - Roger Goodell.

After years of a true fan I am continuing to lose interest in the NFL. I’m looking forward to the high school and college football season. The overpaid pompous primadonnas in the NFL can kneel all they want - I won’t be watching.

Last season was the first time I did not watch a minute of regular season NFL football since I was in elementary school (back in the 1970s). It was very nice to have my fall weekends back. Lots of hikes in the woods and lazy Sunday afternoon drives through some very scenic backroads where I got lots of fresh produce from roadside farm stands and found a lot of new restaurants.

I have a new Sunday routine in the fall now and NFL football is not a part of it.

Players think that there’s no NFL without them.

I’ve got news for players: Without fans there are no players, no teams, no league.

It’s not what this country was founded upon

Soetoro said it was founded upon islam. Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm.

We didn't have these idiots before Soetoro or at least they weren't so in your face direspectful and hateful. NK could do with a few football teams.

This guy has the nerve to call our president and idiot?

He is a disgrace and should forever be ashamed of himself. The NFL is dead to me as long as they allow thugs like him to take the field.

Oh Doug...on the football field, having no sense of one's limitations is an asset.

When engaging in intellectual pursuits, not so much.

This delusional dolt is still living in socialist Seattle fantasy land.

The leftist nfl commissioner, owners, coaches, managers and players have, by their words and actions made it perfectly clear that they literally H A T E America and H A T E their own (now former) nfl fan base! The only thing the nfl truly cares about is YOUR MONEY, THAT'S IT!

The good news is their now former fan base realizes this and NO LONGER SUPPORTS THE PERVERTED nfl WITH ANY OF THEIR VALUABLE TIME AND HARD EARNED MONEY, COSTING THE nfl BILLIONS UPON BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN FOREVER LOST PRESENT AND FUTURE REVENUE!

The leftist nfl commissioner, owners, coaches, managers and players have killed the goose fan base that laid their billion dollar gold eggs; the nfl is dead and they strangled it to death with their own hands.

All too late the nfl comes crying with hat in hand and phony, useless new "anti-protest rules" BEGGING their now dead fan base (which they still vehemently denigrate and hate) to return because they still want our money.
