In fairness, Trump is the one who appears outraged.

I can’t “protest” at work.
This is fricking idiotic but I hate the nfl anyway and this making them look like fools is glorious.

Do we look at the policies of a Koch Industries, Wal-Mart, or Subway so closely. These guys are upsetting you way too much.
Have you ever checked out at wal-mart and the cashier told you “thanks have a nice day don’t forget abortion is murder!” Have you ever gotten a 6 inch melt at Subway and your sandwich maker said “I’m with her don’t forget to vote Hillary.” And do these things occur in front of tens of millions of customers weekly?
Big business doesn’t get political because it’s bad for business. This isn’t hard to understand

Or, they're protesting the fact that those men died serving a Fascist establishment that has hijacked this country.
He must be the worst fascist in the history of fascists. Trump completely broke you and I feel sorry for you
Why would you single out Trump in my statement? We've been under a Fascist regime for more than 100 years.
MAGAts just aren't happy unless they can play the victim.

quote:the cop who killed Sterling (Blane Salamoni) was fired for violating the BRPD "use of force" policy, after "escalating the deadly encounter from the moment he arrived at the convenience store."
Oh, you mean the case where the police were 100% justified in the shooting
the bodycam footage shows the first officer, Howie Lake, walk up to Sterling and tell him to put his hands on the car, which is fine.
then, less than 6 seconds after this began, with no explanation from anyone as to why the police were there or what they wanted with Sterling, Salamoni takes his gun out, points it at Sterlings head and threatens to kill him
Salamoni at 0:08 - "Don't move bra, stop."
Sterling at 0:10 - "What I did? Sir, what I did, sir?"
Salamoni at 0:14 - "Don't fricking move..."
Salamoni now has his gun out, level on Sterlings head. He starts screaming.
Salamoni at 0:15 - "...I'll shoot your fricking (unintelligible), put your fricking hands on the car. Put your hands on the car, Im'a shoot you in your fricking head, you understand me. Don't you fricking more or Im'a shoot you in your fricking head, you hear me? DON'T YOU frickING MOVE!"
Sterling at 0:28 - "Alright, hold up, hold up man, you're hurting my arm. I'm serious, what happened man?"
Sterling still has no idea whats happening, all he knows is that two cops walked up behind him in the dark 30 seconds ago, put a gun to his head and threatened to kill him.
He was outside this store selling CDs, something he had done for 6 years, with the owners permission.
Yes he apparently had a gun in his pocket. So what. Louisiana is an open carry state, thats perfectly legal, and theres no evidence it ever left his pocket. store video and the store owner back that up.
less than a minute later he was dead.

Can you point me to the NFL policy that allows the President of the United States to create NFL rules that must be followed? TIA

That tax-exemption for the league itself went away a few years ago.

While the league office, which handles the administrative side of the game, was exempt until 2015, the NFL teams have always been subjected to taxes.
“The fact is that the business of the NFL has never been tax exempt,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in an April 2015 memo. “Every dollar of income generated through television rights fees, licensing agreements, sponsorships, ticket sales and other means is earned by the 32 clubs and is taxable.”

I'm sorry, did I miss where he signed something into law about this????
Suggesting actions =/= actually forcing action like you're proclaiming..
The President is still a person with an opinion and it's ok that he puts it out there.

The NFL is definitely under Trump’s skin. They broke him when they denied him a team franchise and he lost a fortune backing the USFL.
