I'm glad something finally took the NFL down a notch. They can all go to the deuce as far as I'm concerned.

I am showing you where the NFL has been inconsistent with that concept.
Re-read my post.

I'm not talking about the NFL or their policies - I'm talking about the idea that saying an "anti-American" thing is itself anti-American. No - one of the greatest things about this country (and one of its defining characteristics) is the ability to say a great deal of things, even "anti-American" things.

Trump is winking to his white supremacists/KKK base.

Wish he'd pay some attention to Puerto Rico. Those poor people are having a hell of time.

Thanks for sharing.

You may have missed it, but the NFL was not taken down a notch.

In fact, they seem united it telling Trump to go kiss himself.

That's the Democrat talking point of the day.

Trump has committed military and FEMA resources to them, and has said he is going to visit. What more is he supposed to do?

Yeah, I get that.

Wrong symbol, wrong fan base, all done for the wrong reasons. Their entire premise is demonstrably false.

Honestly, what are these cretins kneeling for ? Does anybody really know? A bunch of ultra-rich thugs protesting not having rights? Damn! Just when you thought you'd heard it all...
The concept is known as "empathy".

Name one single thing, just one, that I can have that a black person can't have.


Just one single thing.

What are you talking about? You think this is about black people "having things"??

I don't even know how you arrived at that conclusion.
