This is the ONLY country on earth that we let a few over-paid divas athletes disrespect our flag and national anthem in public and glorify it .....any other athlete in another country would be done, outcast and fired!
From Mexico, Japan, China to Australia, any part of the globe.
Imagine if a Mexican boxer kneels down every time he fights in primetime the Mexican National Anthem and the Mexican flag because he has "issues" with the Mexican police, not only he would be done professionally, he would need the national guard for protection to get back to his country and pack his things.
I have Mexicans friends. They all told me if a Mexican athlete did that to their flag and National Anthem just once , they are done. Imagine every week.
This is how much slack we give blacks and how much white guilt we have in this country...........any other group in this country would never get away with it.
No one gave black people anything. Black people had to fight every inch of what they have in this country.
Yea that's how you feel...that blacks get "too much" and that they're undeserving of what they have. Have several seats.
What sort of company allows you to make political statements on company time? If your run of the mill union asked a company to allow their workers to make political statements on company time the company would laugh them off.
A union company, but only for one side of the political spectrum. This just another example of how unions are tools for the left. They force their members to pay for political contributions to democrats, who then give them exemptions from their horrible policies.
Teachers constantly make political statements on company time and are fully backed by the administration and their union, as long as their comments are pro liberal.
Never dreamed that in my lifetime I would ever see someone like Donald Trump as President. Is he really fooling anyone with his latest antics? He is doing everything in his power to deflect from the Russian investigation because he knows where that is going. You have to blame the media for rising to the bait like Pavlov's dog.
No doubt Trump's outburst will spur more wealthy black men, whose sole skill to earn millions of dollars is to run around on a football field, to kneel in response. More fans will tune out in response to that. This anthem protest could be the death knell for the NFL.
There is no brake between Trump's rapidly deteriorating brain and his mouth. The NFL will suffer permanent damage as a result of our President's ridiculous comments. And believe me - he could not care less. Trump does not care about anything other than whipping up hate and division in the people he supposedly represents. It will take decades to recover from the damage that Trump is doing - if we ever recover.
he just like to fight with everyone- now making division betweens sports world -- I do hope they stay together in solidarity- this guy destroying everything-- piece by piece
I don't like Trump, but even given that, when reading the bolded above, I can't help but hear the world's saddest song being played on the world's smallest violin in the background.
you made my point.....Mexico has more social and corruption problems than the United States but Mexicans will never forgive their athletes disrespecting the Mexican Flag and Mexican National Anthem in sporting events or anywhere in public to push the athlete's personal political agenda over "issues" with the Mexican police or the Mexican government.....even they know that's 2 completely different things.
I don't see that anywhere in the world except in the U.S.A with blacks.......we cut a lot of slack to blacks because of White guilt that we don't let any other group get away with that.
If Canelo Alvarez a famous Mexican boxer kneeled down last week for the Mexican National Anthem and Mexican flag in public because he has a beef with the Mexican police treatment of RED-HEADED WHITE Mexicans that look IRISH he would be booed off the ring and be a disgrace for the Mexican Nation, he would be outcast and probably had to look for another country to live.
I have Puerto Ricans friends and they tell me the same thing.....you don't disrespect our flag and National anthem in public or you are done as an athlete or celebrity.
I've been wondering what Robert Kraft's reaction would be to Trump's remarks.
Kraft has stated in the past that he can count on one hand his friends who called him at least once a week for the first year after his beloved wife died, to make sure he was okay, and that Trump was one of those friends.
He also gave Trump a Super Bowl 51 ring.
A few minutes ago he released a statement....deeply disappointed by Trump's tone:
I don't like Trump, but even given that, when reading the bolded above, I can't help but hear the world's saddest song being played on the world's smallest violin in the background.
We had such nice things until Trump arrived.
