Trump said: "Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, 'Get that son of a bitch off the field right now. Out. He's fired! He's fired!"
In the interest of Truth. http://www.politico.com/story/2017/09/14/trump-signs-charlottesville-bill-condemning-bigotry-242752 President Donald Trump on Thursday signed a congressional joint resolution condemning the violence of neo-Nazis and white supremacists during a rally in Virginia last month, despite his equivocating on the matter during a meeting the day before with the Senate's only black Republican. “As Americans, we condemn the recent violence in Charlottesville and oppose hatred, bigotry, and racism in all forms,” Trump said in a statement issued by the office of the press secretary late Thursday. He added: “No matter the color of our skin or our ethnic heritage, we all live under the same laws, we all salute the same great flag, and we are all made by the same almighty God.”
Denny gets up and reads Trumps early morning twitter tirade. Sighs heavily. Calls out to Mrs Crane, "Honey, better put on a 2nd pot of coffee! My president is triggered and the internets need me!" Logs on to S2 to complain about Hillary, Obama, and praise Trump.
I read the link. The Trump part didn't bother me. The disrespect for the NFL part bothered me. Fuck them for even saying that. Billionaires. Boo hoo.
All you have is insults. I made myself clear in the thread about the 8 year olds taking a knee. That's not agreeing with Trump at all. I offered no opinion on what Trump said, I just set the record straight. Be a buffoon if you must. I'd prefer to to respond in kind.
The players do have a fiduciary duty to the league. It's not unreasonable for the league or owners to demand the players do nothing that does harm to the league or teams. While I'm with the players in spirit, it's duh kind of obvious that if they do not act out, the league is better off. They risk pissing off a bunch of people who do take the symbolism of the flag seriously, which isn't good for the league.
Please refrain from using my name in posts where you describe what you think I do. Thanks in advance.
