Trump slams NFL for not firing players who 'disrespect' US

[Silver Pines]

Things are heating up.


Former Democratic Rep. Donna Edwards (D-Md.) tweeted that she hopes all NFL players kneel during the national anthem on Sunday in response to President Trump's remarks attacking Colin Kaepernick.

Edwards, who left Congress earlier this year, called Trump a "white supremacist who squats in our White House" in her tweet.


It is going to be a very interesting Sunday.

Yep, woo-boo, another show to get all excited about and hoot and clap like seals. 

Meanwhile, wall, Obamacare, Planned Parenthood...

While I agree with the sentiment, the way it was expressed is no different than Trump standing on the debate stage, telling the world about the size of his junk.  He's classless and unsuited for the presidency, but we knew that. 

But who cares?  As long as Trump is trolling his fans are happy.

Or Fred Cruz saying "we don't have a shortage of rubber", but who cares, as long as Cruz is trolling, his fans are happy.

I'm thinking almost open warfare at football stadiums. Dems are engaged, SJWs are engaged, unions are engaged, NFL players are engaged, Trump is engaged and most of us have had it with the dissing of the flag, country and vets/cops. You can try to make this a "Trump thing" but it's really not. Trump just said what a lot of us are thinking.

Yep enjoy clapping your flippers at your football game as you further enrich those who hate America.

@TomSea

I don't even know what the hell you're babbling about, but I'll remind you of it next week when you veer crazily into Cruz admiration for a brief moment.

@jpsb

Open warfare at stadiums.  Okay.

Trump is the president and is supposed to behave just a little differently than the average dude on the street.  So yeah, it is a Trump thing.

I'll continue to do so while watching whatever else I like.  Sit in the corner by a kerosene lamp and knit if you want.

Thinking about who actually suffers out of all of this?

The players as they will lose their source of income.  and 70% of them are black. https://football.realgm.com/wiretap/37130/Blacks-Represent-70-Percent-Of-NFL-Players-Fan-Base-83-Percent-White

Owners are rich enough to engage in other endeavours.

Viewers will turn the channel to something else they enjoy.  Fans are 83% white.

Blacks are the losers.

The rest of us won't benefit, either, since Trump is just throwing out a little red meat to distract from his immigration betrayal.

Oh, I don't know about not getting a benefit.

Need to spend more time with the grandkids, save some money on NFL programming, certainly no more football attendance, etc., etc.

I get lots of benefits, maybe not you.

You don't understand what I'm talking about.

Like I said, he's doing this to distract.  People eat it up, he gets away with screwing us on immigration.

   @TomSea Ted didn't play Football, he opted for basketball instead.



   Hey, @CatherineofAragon congrats on 10,000 posts (which you seem to be stuck at), and not getting banned!

[gogogodzilla]

No. We WERE their consumers. Not any longer. They must have plans on getting by without us.

I see the stadium attendance figures, are down for the second year. While the economy is in a robust recovery cycle.

Something is going on, and Goodell IS CLEARLY TAKING THE SIDE OF THE NEGRO PLAYERS.

I take the side, of the fans no longer attending the games.

Well, things have *DEFINITELY* changed in the 5 years I was gone.

Goodbye.

Never say never, lol.  Maybe the stuck number is telling me something?

That pic is killing me.   

[mystery-ak]

ts and I are about the same age and we were brought up using the word Negro as acceptable...please enlighten me as to what we are to use nowadays so we do not offend.

I just googled UNCF: United Negro College Fund and it is still using that term in their name.

ts meant no harm in using Negro in his comment....so lighten up

@corbe
Nobody said he did play football; but if you are his appointed defender, would we know who Ted Cruz is without the Republican party?

Something you seem to criticize frequently and may have even said you left long ago.

Not a betrayal from what I see. Someone has to work with what they have, nothing has been finalized yet.

You are just jealous. Let's see, since 1993, we have had 16 years of Democrat control, 8 years of Republican control; and now, we got an upset win with the Republicans in power. I will take that.

I will even take what Michael Reagan said, he said Trump isn't conservative but he's given us a Conservative Supreme Court for the next 10 years and Reagan was happy with that. I'll take what Reagan said even if I don't necessarily agree with that.

It’s amazing how many of us have been subtly influenced by political correctness without even thinking. Such is the tyranny of the political left.

So blinded by hate that you are agreeing with the leftists.  How's that feel?
