Dude, we had a handful of players kneeling before Trump made any remarks


This is utterly false. Here are 9 players on one team kneeling during the preseason in AUGUST. Ya know, 1 month before Trump said anything LINK Here is another article listing several players kneeling last season LINK

He has bigger issues on the table besides putting himself in the middle of this issue. Hell, how about actually addressing the issue at hand (police brutality & the American criminal justice system) instead of trying to make some grand PR stunt with VPOTUS flying to Indy to do a little tapdance and walkout. It's faux outrage and above the position of the office.

Coco is wrong that there was only a handful of players kneeling before Trump said anything, but he ISN'T wrong that the reason all of this is a shitstorm is because of Trump. 100%. This would have blown over like it with nothing if he hadn't gotten needlessly involved.

Trumpkins are very much low IQ. They don't understand this. Their lord and savior caused this chaos by opening pandoras box because he got his feelings hurt by Steph Curry.

The funny thing is Trump acted like he was flexing on Curry by tweeting "Invite revoked". When Curry said months ahead of time that he didn't want to visit the WH.

The NFL attacked Trump before they realized that the vast majority of regular Americans agreed with him.

How exactly did the NFL attack Pres Trump?

Please link my post where I did. Also, have you figured out what that pesky first amendment actually protects yet?

And let's not act like Trump doesn't have a long personal history with the NFL either

Curry was being a little bitch. And I'm a fan of Curry.

Trump was being a little bitch, too. And I voted for him and want him to succeed.

Exactly, he thought that he had the NFL by the balls when he tried to merge the USFL with the NFL. That blew up in his face. Now he's getting his revenge by waging a culture war while acting as president. It's exactly what he should be doing as POTUS.

It would not have remotely blown over because that race baiting fraud Michael Bennett held a press conference in which he accused the Las Vegas police of racism and police brutality, neither of which were true and both of which were unequivocally proven false by video evidence. Roger Goodell, Pete Carrol, and countless other teams and owners spoke out in support and him and his story. It was all a 100% bold faced lie.

Ok, maybe a handful isn't the best term. But, let's say it was 25-30ish?


It went from that to literally having entire teams staying in the locker room. It was insane.

Cba says stuff your fascist privilege.
Good luck with making players submit to owner politics.
This will result in more players kneeling.

It's not the first time that an anthlete said that he would pass on visiting the WH. Larry Bird did it to Reagan. Brady did it to Obama. Curry decided to do the same thing to Trump. The only difference is that Trump is petty as frick.

I know. Never said it was. I think it's always a stupid move no matter which athlete does it. It's silly to politicize what's supposed to be an apolitical kudos.

Are you self-employed?

Every job in the history of the world forces people to do these if they want to remain employed.

It's like everyone is ignoring the first part of my post. I'm personally not a fan, but I get it.
