So why are you making posts about them? Yeah, we all thought so too.

Perhaps you run your business like a Russian oligarch, but many places of employment believe and support democracy and the Constitution.

Strange, eh?

In any case, it appears the NFL is one of these types of places.

Bless your heart. The only thing your personal attacks and false accusations expose is that you don't have argument to the point made.

The vast majority of Americans are with Trump on this matter.

The NFL will find this out now that AT&T/Direct TV will let them get out of their Sunday Ticket contracts for a full refund too.

I had something relevant to say. You just disregarded it. Telling you what you wanted to hear was the only way you would hear me. You weren't interested in the argument I laid out. For that reason, you tried to gaslight me.

And I notice you ignored the rest of my post. I'm sure you had a good reason for that.

Not wanting people to do things that might negatively affect your business is not running that business like a Russian oligarch. So far, the NFL has said nothing about the protests so it's really moot.

They can demand the players stop. They have not and that is their business.

Do you have trouble just saying what they are protesting?
They just want Trump impeached.

That's all there is to this.

Yep.

You said that anyone who would protest the NFL knee benders was a Nazi or Confederate sympathizer. You even cited Charlottesville which, otherwise, has no place in this discussion.

It's nonsense of course.

Prove that I said that. If you can't, then you are the one lying and you have nothing relevant to say.

False accusations, huh? I showed you the post in which you, not anyone else, you said Kaepernick's protests are anti-American, but haven't provided any evidence to back it up.

Therefore, you engaged in the same behavior you criticized others for.

And then you deflect and play the victim when you get called out.

I've taken the position that I do not want him impeached and he's done nothing that rises to that level.
