Nope. Sorry. You are wrong. They can kneel all they want. I just believe unlike you that actions have consequences. Kneel all you want but don't expect people to pay $150 for a ticket to watch you act like a spoiled clown.

You want only 1 voice and all others silenced and you want folks sued for not adhering to your nonsense. You want the Government to control all while at the same time complaining about the Police State.

You want to shite on the 1st Amendment. You want the government to decide what is hate speech which you essentially believe is anything that isn't approved by socialists.

In summary...choke on a bag of dicks.

For those playing the home game...Here is the actual definition of Fascist Regime.

Fascism definition, a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.

Not up on current events are you?

I'll clarify:

quote:

"The NFL League Office has received a special tax carve-out since 1966, when the tax code first listed ‘professional football leagues’ as trade organizations," the statement read. "Though individual teams are not tax-exempt, the NFL League Office is."

It’s true that in order to allow the NFL and AFL to merge in 1966, legislative maneuverings grouped professional football leagues with trade associations under Section 501(c)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code, thus exempting them from paying taxes as not-for-profit organizations

Did I miss him proposing congress pass legislation prohibiting kneeling for the Anthem or is he expressing his disagreement with the practice. It seems a little hypocritical that you would seek to deny him the very right you defend in the case of the players.

And they can do that on their own time. Not while at work. I can't protest when I'm working and I make a hell of a lot less money than these cactus masturbaters.

The NFL never said this so I’m not sure where Trump is getting that from

Doesn’t sound like it. He stated it like it’s fact. He doesn’t say the NFL should do it. He acted like the NFL already has with the “be suspended”.

You forgot to clarify the next part:

quote:

However, amid public criticism, the NFL decided to drop the not-for-profit status in 2015 and file regular taxes.

"The owners have decided to eliminate the distraction associated with misunderstanding of the league office’s status, so the league office will in the future file returns as a taxable entity," Robert McNair, the chairman of the league’s finance committee, said in an April 2015 statement.

The tax exemption was only applicable to the league’s administrative office anyway, rather than the 32 individual teams, or even the subsidiaries that control the NFL’s licensing, sponsorships, marketing, publicity, promotion, broadcast, merchandise and distribution.

It's the middle of August. What games and national anthems are the players kneeling at?

ETA: Good grief, he's bitching about preseason 'games'?

Did he really just advocate for suspending players just because they didn't stand

I feel like all this is him still holding a grudge over not being able to have an NFL team (both from the USFL collapse and getting denied in buying the Bills).

I think it's just his bone spurs acting up.
Otherwise, he'd be out there on the field himself, showing them how it's done.

No, they can do it at work, idiot. That's why you're crying.
