As a “man” whose ambition is to emulate his daddy, the K.K.K. member, if he ever grows up, coupled with a deep-seated hatred for the N.F.L. who kept rejecting his efforts to join their “club”, Donald John Trump is finally in a position to exact revenge for decades of perceived ‘slights’.
And punishing perceived slights is about the ONLY thing that Donnie is even half-way good at! just show what continual and dogged practice will garner!
People forget that the neo-fascist rally wasn’t going that great for Trump that day, which is why he tossed out the Hail Mary pass of criticizing the protesting (black) NFL players. Of course, that led to more than a few white players protesting, with at least one case of both teams staying in the locker room, and other teams kneeling first and then standing, and other forms of freedom of expression.
Per me si va ne la città dolente,per me si va ne l’etterno dolore,per me si va tra la perduta gente. Giustizia mosse il mio alto fattore:fecemi la divina potestate,la somma sapienza e ’l primo amore. Dinanzi a me non fuor cose createse non etterne, e io etterno duro.
In all honesty, they’re not preventing free expression on the part of players. They’re just saying they can’t bring it into the workplace. If I’m a proselytizing Christian, can I set up my little table with bibles and tracts next to my desk?
The reason football is so popular is players are seen as warriors, they’re armies, going into battle other armies for the prize. And as soldiers they have no rights, they are to do as they are told by the generals. Just another version of war. It’s why America loves it so much!
The real problem we have is that the “idiots” and “morons” that support Donald John Trump do not seem to realize that while the kneeling N.F.L. players are peacefully protesting the indiscriminate slaughter of innocent people by various regional police forces across the country, which is their Constitutionally granted right, their “dear leader” is busy attempting to delegitimize AND destroy the Federal Bureau of Investigation, our NATIONAL police force, because he doesn’t happen to “like” that they are looking into the Russian attempt to corrupt our elections.
Donnie is, in effect, saying that it’s perfectly okay to indiscriminately slaughter Americans that individual police are afraid of, but it’s absolutely wrong fo the Nation’s top police force to look into the Russians influencing our presidential election!
Guess what that indicates to ANY INTELLIGENT American? I’ll allow you three guess, and the first two won’t count.
(And I think I may need to come up with new descriptors for Donnie and the Trumpians – I’m starting to feel bad about malining the REAL idiots and morons by lumping Donnie and the Trumpisters in with them!)
As I have said before, these multimillionaire athletes are trying to make a statement on someone else’s dime. They want to make a real statement, they should look to Chris Long of the Philadelphia Eagles. Long donated his ENTIRE million dollar salary for 2017 to charity. His first six checks went to scholarships of students in his hometown of Charlottesville VA. His final 10 checks supported educational equity organizations in the three cities where he played football: St. Louis, Boston, and Philadelphia. When you’re a multimillionaire you can make a BIG difference, you just have to really want to rather then making a empty gesture. P.S. the Chris Long story in in the May 28th issue of Time under Next Generation Leaders, I’m sure your local library has it, if you can’t afford it.
^^ Seems that #45 claimed that he can determine “Who is a Patriot” and “Who deserves to live in the USA!” He forgets that he is supposed to serve the citizens of the USA!
Take a look around – it’s clear that the more American Flags someone flaunts, flies, and wraps around themselves – the more PATRIOTIC they are – the less tolerant they are of any dissent or alternative to the WHITE CHRISTIAN viewpoint.

Why is the NFL trying to define what patriotism is when they can’t even define what a catch is?

Do as I say or you don’t love this land of liberty! Rich white men never see the inherent illogic of their demands.

Colin Kaepernick started protesting police brutality, not the flag or anthem.

Maybe they can arm the spectators, and they can shoot the players they don’t like.

The people who are cheering for this decision are the same who are crying about the Constitutional crisis of cancelling that racist Roseanne.
