Mr. Payne even for a republican, you are tiresome and ignorant. Have you given any thought about that? I mean, since it Yom Kippur, you should change your ways.
It’s good to remember that NFL owners — including Goddell — were never shocked by Trump’s pussy grabbing, his draft dodging, his racism, his defrauding people, even his collusion with Russia, none of it.
It was ONLY when he directed the owners to ‘fire the sons of bitches’ that the owners protested.
I mean, you’d think the owners believe it’s perfectly okay for president bone spurs to dictate to others, but not to THEM.
Mr. Payne, I’m surprised at you. I thought you had more sense than this. You know that the president is just using this tantrum as a Smokescreen and you’re buying into it. For shame for shame. I would think you had done more research. Since you are a media representative you would have done your research and realized that these NFL players are not dissing the flag or the anthem. They are humbly protesting Racial inequality. They are not being arrogant. They are not yelling and screaming. They are not waving flags and banners and throwing stones and firebombs. They are not doing any of those things. They are simply humbly bending the knee and bowing their heads and praying for justice. You should be ashamed of yourself.
The flag is just a symbol, in this case of a country where Americans have fought and died to preserve our right to protest. You cannot do this in Russia or China and many other countries that are not true republics. The loyalty should be to the principle that the flag is just a symbol of. The current anthem was not a good choice then or now.
NFL and MLB players are protesting because Blacks are being shot at a rate that’s 2.5 times higher than whites.
The big question is whether that is evidence that the police are discriminating against African Americans. There’s an obvious argument that it is: African Americans are just 13% of the US population, and yet 26% of the people killed by the police.
Mr. Payne, you have been repeatedly told what the protests are really about.
So at this point, you are either a Useful Idiot, an Agent, or a Traitor for Russia.
" After a weekend when Americans took to social media to debate President Trump’s admonishment of N.F.L. players who do not stand for the national anthem, a network of Twitter accounts suspected of links to Russia seized on both sides of the issue with hashtags such as #boycottnfl, #standforouranthem and #takeaknee."

It was never about the flag, Mr Payne. But I’m telling that to someone who bought the Rump’s diversions.

I’d rather see these patriots dissing the flag, as it were, than the traitors in the white house being reminded to put their hands over their hearts.
