VP Mike Pence leaves Colts game because 49ers players knelt during anthem

[driftdiver]

No, you are incorrect again.  The people doing the kneeling are idiots and I severely disagree with them.  I am not interested in NFL so there's no further "protest" that is worthy my getting involved in.  I condemn Fed Gov for becoming as involved as it has; the tweets, the staged walk-out, etc.

@RoosGirl
You condemn the "fed gov",  no you are condemning Trump and anyone connected to him.  You are condemning the President of the United States for denouncing unpatriotic behavior.   

Thats kind of his job description

BS.  Your hate of all things to do with this Administration is clear for all to see.

Aren't you supposed to call a doctor is that thing last longer than four hours?

Guess what, Trump *is* part of Fed Gov.  If this had stopped at one tweet or one comment it wouldn't be such a big deal.  When staged walk-outs are now on the table, multiple comments and tweets, it's a problem.  Fixing NFL is not Fed Gov's job.  Has POTUS said anything about the communist advertising in the military?  That seems more important to me than NFL and actually within the job description of the POTUS.

I'm hoping you won't last that long.

What a miserable, cold-hearted thing to say.

Communication will mean nothing if the NFL does not feel pain as a consequence of their willing dive into politics. Whats more, if the NFL chooses to allow their flashy platform to be used to preach self hating progressivism then, call me what you want, I won't join you in mourning their passing.

BTW I said nothing about anyone showing disrespect to Trump. Why add that nugget?

Communication WILL (or would) make all the difference.... since most football fans have no idea what the bigger (hidden) agenda is here.   They have no idea that they will be aiding the left in their agenda to destroy football in America.  And then there are those that are willing participants (like you) that may know the agenda but will further it ANYWAY.

Amazingly, Rush is applauding Trump and Pence on this...lol.  One of the few times I have disagreed with Rush on politiks.

The disrespect/disapproval for Trump (also) issue seems to be a valid perception out there .... since the players are only NOW, now that Trump is CIC/president, refusing to stand for the anthem/flag.... and since Trump has openly dissed them for doing so.     Come on....you know this.  You've seen the whining and tantrums from the left since last November.   How many instances of players refusing to stand for the anthem were there before Trump was elected?  One that I know of.   One wacko that started a clusterfk movement.  Sound familiar?

why does ever conversation with you end in blah blah blah

dunno, but there it is.

Why don't you take it in context with what he said to me and you may understand better what it means.  I note you had no comment about him saying on another thread that I looked like someone in a miniskirt getting out of an SUV too quickly.  Your selective outrage is laughable.

I'm sorry you believe that fixing NFL is the job of Fed Gov, but not communists in the military.

Have you stopped beating your boyfriend?

He's not trying to fix the NFL.  He's condemning anti-American behavior.  So sorry  you can't see that.

You're full of crap, too.   

You want to feign outrage at my posts but you feel the need to mix it up with 'The Boyz' in here on a daily basis.

Only want to be considered a 'lady' when it suits you.

Like I said before, the level that this nonsense has been taken to is ridiculous.  I'm never going to agree that staging (and making tax payers pay for) a walk-out is the right thing to do.  Get back to me after POTUS addresses communists in our military and the State Dept hosting a gay pride month, maybe I'll change my mind, but I doubt it.

Pence used the Colts, who went out of their way to accommodate the VP - with no idea this political stunt was coming

LOL, you better check again.  This ain't Fox News, where the dirty old men own the place and the female members are tolerated and considered to be "mixing it up with the boys" when they post.

Your skirt comment was in response to a post that had absolutely zero to do with "being a lady', but was about the media and Trump's general demeanor.

Yep, I enjoy some good natured ribbing with "The Boyz".  You're trying to play off your comment like it was just good natured ribbing?  Talk about being full of crap.

Own it.

It's very clear what I meant and it's very clear what *you* are trying to do *again*.  And guess what?  It won't work this time either.

Exactly. The only reason this is getting so much play is because NeverTrumpers reflexively jump on board with Leftist in their hatred of all thing Trump, so the word is spread across the political world far and wide.

There are three political forces whose actions scream “I hate Trump.” Leftist Democrats, establishment types, and NeverTrump. And that’s the reality Trump faces daily.

No, he and Pence are giving us the 2017 version of bread and circuses.

Ari desperately wants to become a player again. That's what I read into it.

No need to conflate/compare the actions of an entertainer/pro athlete to the sitting VP. Apples and cumquats.
