"You'll never be President" remember how cute Obama thought he was?

Even right up to election night pretty much everyone figured Hillary was going to win.

It was glorious for those that realized how bad Hillary would be as President.

Once in a lifetime election and just an amazing night really.
Truly amazing. Loved watching the reactions at the Javits Building. Hillary still have those victory fireworks?

Attendance is getting worse as seen in these pics - I came home last night expecting to see the games on - neither of my guys will watch them anymore due to the BS. Many of you fail to see that Trump won due to the silent majority which is a large portion of the population. I hope these players have been investing wisely - as they are going to need it.

Default Restaurant refuses to air NFL games because of players kneeling

Upstate restaurant owner to stop showing NFL games in response t - FOX Carolina 21


Good for this restaurant! (Palmetto Ale House) The over-bloated salaries of the disrespectful players, who are disrespecting our country and should be ashamed to kneel during the National Anthem...should be a wake up call to the NFL.

NFL players are 70% African American. Why anyone needs to explain why they are moved by this is beyond me.

If people don't want to watch because of players asserting their 1st amendment rights, so be it.

I truly have no idea what you are trying to say here.

Why would you think that? Is a casual fan going to fork over $75 for a team jersey? Or pay $130 a ticket to see a game? Or spend every weekend religiously watching games at home for their fantasy football league?

People have invested a lot of time, money and energy into this sport over the last 50 years. Its part of who they are. They aren't giving it up. Especially not for NASCAR, as someone else said. They are two totally different sports.

I'm sure you'd be singing a different song if these football players were protesting about something you believed in.

You don't pay them. The team owners and the NFL pays them.

Also, they are paid to PLAY not stand for the National Anthem.

Also, NFL players only started standing for the anthem 8 years ago. They used to stay in the locker rooms before then. Department of Defense and the National Guard paid the NFL millions of taxpayer dollars ($6.8 million to be exact) for patriotic displays beginning in approximately 2011. Oh and the government also gave money to the NBA, MLB, MLS, and NHL for similar purposes.

You and many others are being played. Big time.

Bears repeating. As I said, there is a certain segment of this country who is getting played big time by this nonsense.

What say you about those who fomented rebellion and later on a Revolutionary War against their country?
