That is exactly how I feel anytime I get into a debate with you.

Three of those are from the exact same moment and one is photo shopped, so in order to reinforce your insult you've effectively given evidence of Trump eating ice cream at least twice in his 70 years on earth. that's a ton of post set-up work to fool exactly no one.



It worked on you though, didn't it?

I have loved watching football at all levels my entire life. It was my favorite sport to play and will always be my favorite sport to watch. As long as it doesn’t affect the actual game I don’t care about any of this political BS I’m still watching.

Yes, but apparently in many more different ways than you.

Yes, that's why some PLAYERS are pissed.

Protests aren't the problem, expansion of entertainment options is killing the NFL. People would now rather sit in their own homes and watch on a big screen. As a matter of fact, while they're sitting in the comfort of their own homes, with access to internet and a giant screen HD TV, they'd rather stream shite that doesn't have so many damned commercials.

The old model of delivering the NFL content to people is outmoded. That's the problem with the NFL.

Let's see if we can strangle the shite out of that golden goose over there. As long as no one mildly inconveniences me, sounds good.

The NFL sure seems fixated on this non-problem. Maybe someone should explain this to them.

It might not mean anything to you, but the message they are attempting to send is not meant for you, but for those who are not so full of hate.

These are the same people who think the solution to games that run too long is to have more commercials and less on-field action.

They're not exactly a brain trust, those NFL owners.

That they don't feel the 'unity' singing the anthem is supposed to be all about.

Just because you feel it doesn't mean she felt it.

It's not all about you.

Heh, not quite. He did the right thing by canceling the event, but he was wrong to point to NFL kneeling seeing as no Eagles actually knelt.

No, the right thing would've been to fete the ones who show up, and ignore the ones who don't. Act like it's no big deal.

What he did was petty. Not surprising since he's a petty man. But now he's made pettiness fashionable among his followers.

Just because they're billionaires doesn't mean they're smart. Viewership and ticket sales were declining before the protest. They're not very smart if they blaming it all on the protest.

I'm sorry if you don't understand the changing nature of delivering content in the 3rd Millennium.

Careful, this board isn't a fan of truth when it comes to Trump

Trump was in a no win situation here, and while I think it's petty, it's totally his personality to do this.

What I don't really like is Trump now draping himself with the flag over this, which is just an obvious effort to further conflate the kneeling issue with the Eagles not wanting to come because they dislike him.

I like Trump's advocacy for patriotism (it's nice having a vocally pro-America POTUS), but I don't like it when he blurs personal slights toward him with slights toward America.
