There was no reason for the POTUS to go after NFL players that are already viewed skeptically by most people.

He's now taken a very public stance against Black football players which plays right into the narrative that he's a racist.

This is a shallow attempt at playing to his base and was just stupid.

I'm glad he beat Hillary, but he really makes some questionable decisions.

I believe it is the right to chose not to stand up. At the same time,i think it's a genius move by President Trump since most people agree with his stance.

If you really think that, then it ain't worth commenting on.

Some would view players standing over sacked QB's with arms raised is Black Power salutes as racist.

Did he say those black sons of bitches... huh I didn’t hear that part.

Chris Long is a protest pandering lil cupcake too...fun fact he’s white.

Trump is saying what everyone is thinking. Roger Goodell is a bitch and is helping his shite NFL ratings go down the toilet.

He didn't say anything racist. He said football players who disrespect the flag.


You're racist if you think that means black athletes. The majority of black athletes support the flag.

Agreed but its just red meat for his base.

All the people that were outraged about Obama recklessly commenting on the Harvard police issue are loving this act by Trump and vice versa.

We live in shitty times

Stupid OP.

He has baited the SJW's to double down. It's yet another brilliant move.

Actually, its a great move. If more players start doing it, numbers WILL drop.

Then we get to see teams fold up or make the decision to stop it.

People gwt fired from their jobs for putting things on facebook that employers disagree with.

Why should players be any different?


Either stop firing conservatives who voice their opinion or we all play by the same rules

While I agree this was incredibly stupid, there's no point in posting it as this place has gone so far up Trump's a-hole they're never coming back.

Prepare for the insults though

Who cares? Its a false narrative that wouldnt stop no matter what he said or did.

Hes forcing the hand of the NFL. They will play the SJW card and will get punished....because the NFL fanbase is probably 80% Trump voters

No.

The more he kicks that antpile the more crazy they get.

The more crazy they get the more people quit voting for the crazies.

I missed the line where he specifically called out black players. Can you post the video of him calling out all black football players?

The majority of black athletes want a paycheck. The majority of black athletes hate Trump, but also want white cops to not get away with murder. This a tangled web black athletes face, that trump is untangling by the day.

He's making it clear how they are viewed. And I think now they all start to speak.

Not stupid at all. He's taking a firm stance on patriotism. Only racists will find his comments as racist. Many people in this country were thinking what he said and he's doing what a lot of people liked when they voted for him; he is telling it like it is.
