Oh No.
Must be one of those 'Uncle Toms we hear so much about!?
Quote:
George Foreman took down Colin Kaepernick and Kevin Durant on a podcast Monday, saying neither the football nor basketball star is patriotic. Foreman, 68, spoke out on the "Offended America" podcast, offering that those who refuse to stand for the national anthem, like Kaepernick, are just looking for attention.
Well, my respect for George Foreman just dropped. The way I see things, Trump is more of a threat to me than Kaepernick and Lynch will ever be. No, I will not call George Foreman an Uncle Tom. I will say this though. Trump initially ignored Blacks, and when he did talk of Blacks, he did so in an arrogant way. And George Foreman should understand this. Any President who would support stop and frisk would likely be a candidate he should never praise. Considering the nature of it, such as racial profiling and violating the 4th Amendment, Trump is someone I don't trust.
Hmmm. "Looking for attention!" Dear George, THAT'S THE POINT OF A PROTEST.
But that's OK, I don't agree with George, but he is still OK with me. He has always been a patriot who wears his love for his country on his sleeve. Your choice Big Guy. But others need their country to try harder.
Just another athlete. Like celebrities--why do we care what their political opinions are?
This x a billion. At the end of the day, who cares what these people have to say? Stand for the anthem, sit for the anthem. Go to the White House or don't. I really don't give a rat's behind. If the media stopped hyping it up into this Big Issue, nobody would give it a second thought.

Would it have been better if he had carried a bottle of hot sauce around in his purse and said "I ain't in no ways tired" in a fake black accent?

I happen to agree with you.. IT appears his younger adult life has caught with him.. He was a Heavyweight Boxer.. and no doubt has BRAIN damage that is causing him difficulties to ascertain logic . I'd be willing to bet he was paid to endorse Heir Trump, as I haven't seen him do much of anything other than promote his grills in the past 2 decades!! He must be HURTING for some income!
Having said all that tho.. We will always see such successful black males who somehow blocked out their history.. Noted he has never ever mentioned his mother/father or mention his history... Mind addled right along with Heir Trump's.. It's called "Sometimer's Disease" which is selective memory used to gain influence or get leverage for personal gain!!
George F., needs to move along, as his support for a Buffoon won't help Trump's reputation much at all!! He'll become a "Talking Point for his Addled brained "Kool Aide" swallower's!! But that's about it!!
George's Wikipedia ~~ which pretty well outline's his life... BUT .. HE sold his rights to his Grills and business interests in 1999 .. so NOW 18 years later HE needs to re-emerge as some :Uncle Tom" too praise Buffoon-in Chief" Sure must be hurting financially... $$$ sure does make people do foolish things!! Greed causes what Trump is doing right in front of American Establishment.. Padding his own pockets with Taxpayers$$$ and GOP Congress so far ALLOWING it!! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Foreman
We'll see just how long GOP Congress with allow Trump to make fools of them...!! George is just another bought and paid for endorsement stooge!!
I've bought the last George Foreman 15-Serving Indoor/Outdoor Electric Grill, Silver, with 240 square inches of circular grilling surface and George Tough Nonstick Coating I'll ever buy, I swear. Never again ...
