Does that sound familiar?


Yes, which was the point of my question.

The left has used that tactic forever, so yea I'd love it if it went both ways.


I guess we differ here. I'd like to be consistent and consider both a complete overreach of political influence.

And I'll stay in the real world where the left never stops with their bullshite and fight fire with fire instead of trying to be the bigger person.

I hate the right and left.

But I will say this, if the right does not start fighting back, there will be no flag, no anthem, no statues etc etc. All history and anything "offensive" will be wiped away


For years the right kinda just said "it isn't worth it, not a big deal". Now it seems like a lot of people have had enough

I don't like my answer, I'd rather it be your idealistic way.

Let me impart some knowledge here: the POTUS can't Constitutionally execute ANYTHING relative to private business like he suggested in Alabama unless the federal government condemns the NFL, plain and simple. The only things the POTUS can and shall do are those enumerated powers in the Constitution relative to his office and regarding matters under the Executive Branch's auspices and jurisdiction. The NFL, a private industry, is NOT THAT, like LaVar said "STAY IN YO LANE." Mic dropped.

, it's not fake outrage from me, but I understand why people would be upset about the tactic.

Is this supposed to be a good thing for Trump? He's just like Hillary and Obama?

no, because the difference is Obama and hillary wanted them to lose their jobs regardless without choice

trump suggested making them stand to keep earning tens of millions of dollars

actually he said it would be good for ratings, and he's 100% right. tSlide continues

No sir, Trump's comment. I knew Brady's was on a radio show.

To be honest, I did not know President Trump had said anything Friday until Sunday morning watching Kurt Warner and his fake outrage.

Non-violent protest is now shitting on a country?

I thought men and women died so that we could have freedom to peacefully protest.



If I stand in front of you holding up the bird, sure it's non violent, but its definitely shitting on you.

Kneeling during the anthem is shitting on it.

Thank you. I just was trying to see the actual comment in video instead of reading it. As what tone and voice inflection was made.

So Obama and Hilary are the measuring sticks of morality for political commentary? Spare me your mental gymnastics just because you agree with Trump on this case. President commenting on how private business operates should not be something that is ok whether you agree with what they are saying or not.
