Today the NFL tried to spin their way out of the mess they created by saying it has nothing to do with the flag or national anthem. The media is playing right along.

The left knows this is a losing issue for them and that they're on the wrong side of history.

Yes, why the national anthem anyway? America has afforded them the same opportunities as literally everyone else to be successful. And because of a few cops? Give me a f*cking break.

They were protesting the flag because they were pissed at POTUS.

Spoiled brats.

They aren't the first to be completely cucked by our Omnipotent God Emperor and they won't be the last.

Trump played them for the fools they are.

Are they really too stupid to realize that to get sympathy you don't piss off the people you wish to get that sympathy from?

It is a losing message, period. There are important issues they need to be discussed. This is not the means to do it.

It's funny how vicious and attacking the lefties were on here Monday and how they've completely gone away and given up this battle.

And they like to say they don't have marching orders.

They are busy reading the talking points about the new Healthcare EO that isn't even complete yet.

They've moved on.

They are doing it wrong.

It's not supposed to be sprint after sprint. It's supposed to be a marathon.

They are wearing themselves out.

At least they aren't trying the "He doesn't have time to look at P.R. because he is looking at the NFL!" I saw an a-hole on espin in the break room this AM spouting that shite.

I bet he knocked out his NFL tweets while taking dumps,10 minutes tops for all of them.

I can't wait for all the 5 minute Rosetta Stone healthcare scholars we have on the board once this EO is signed.

I love how all of the sudden it's not about the national anthem or the flag. The person who started the movement specifically said he would not stand to honor a country that oppressed African Americans and people of color. I guess the protest has changed?

Serious question. Is Trumpkin supposed to be a funny term? Or a cut down?

If it's not about the flag and anthem then why did they make it about that? What a stupid response.

They should have kneeled another time and another place completely.
