He’s not the only one. No pain in giving up women’s soccer - Rapinho sealed that deal last year. But the NFL.... it’s been a lifelong habit however I will not tolerate the kneeling.
“ And the Flag is about the Country.”
Yes. The constitution Which is against racism.
The point is, to understand why they are so focused on these things, they want full-scale Revolution, you cannot argue with them on the issues, because the issue really doesn’t matter to them, outside of how it can be exploited to bring about The Revolution.
I’ve given up on all sports. Remember we shouldn’t keep score.
I think America can get along just fine without a Woman’s Soccer Team.
And with the way they’ve been playing, the Men’s too. Can’t even beat Trinidad and Tobago, for crying out loud.
Add NASCAR to the list.
We cut our cable 3 years ago next month.
Besides saving about $200/month, we use Sling Blue and it does not carry ABC nor the National F***U, You dumb Americans nor Disney. Sling blue costs $35/month.
I would be curious to see which athletes are brave enough to STAND during the National Anthem.
BOYCOTT THE NFL & NASCAR!
Right there with you, Mr. President.
Even if the NFL players are true to their word (which I don’t believe for a second) and their protests are because they believe racial inequality exists on a rampant basis in the arena of law enforcement, they are supporting a movement that was started by a 3rd rate quarterback that wore socks on the field of play during warmups that depicted policemen (all policemen) as pigs. To me, that characterization of people that willingly put their lives on the line every day and deal with unimaginable stress, many times because the people they have to deal with immediately become contemptible jerks, is just as inflammatory as not standing for our national anthem and the presentation of our flag. Whatever happened to doing the right thing, respecting people in authority and being polite. The left half of our society has become a swirling toilet bowl of filthy language, despicable attitudes and hellish actions against people they disagree with. And all the press and our elected “leaders” do is fan the flames of contempt. I am quickly approaching the end of the 3rd quarter of my life and this will not impact me much longer. My concern is for my children and grandchildren. If this trend continues, and I really don’t see any evidence that the trajectory will change any time soon, the generations behind mine will truly face hell on earth. It sickens me to the core of my being that a vast number of people in our society choose immediate confrontation. Many people that support the left say that people on the right need to “work with us in a spirit of compromise.” To those people I say, “it appears that is what has been going on for the past 100+ years.” “Can you name one political issue, societal issue or fiscal issue that has moved further to the right over the past 100+ years? Just one.” Didn’t think you could. For the life of me I cannot come up with a single issue that has moved further right. We have ceded so much political and societal territory that it has emboldened the left to the point that they don’t need to negotiate in good faith, they just need to keep banging the drum and the right will eventually give in to just shut them up. THAT is no way to run a country, unless of course you want to run it into the ditch. It seems to me that is the game plan of the left anyway. If they are successful, it is going to be really interesting to see the reaction of the deluded masses on the left that voted it in, and then become just as poor, just as beaten down and just as desperate as those whom they voted against, all because they will become part of the 99% of the populace under the depressing and suppressing arm of power that have governed socialist nations over the past 100 years. And that my friends, ain’t gonna be pretty! (See Venezuela for reference).
News sites are saying President Trump is WARNING that he won’t watch. I don’t see the “warning”.
Nor will I, Mr. President. In fact, I haven’t watched the NFL in three or four years now.
There are many fans who will not watch soccer nor the nfl anymore.
Trump is not alone in this! I will turn the channel or leave any game if some piece of crud kneels during the National Anthem. Colin Kaepernick is a news-grabbing slob with the Kneeling phoney demonstations. So is anybody else who pulls it. I turned it off with kneelers already and will do it again. I love sports but I love my country more!
At this point, I don’t care what they do. I’ve learned I just don’t need it anymore, I’ve moved on.
He may be the last man standing.
