He's trolling the libs and it works every time. Remember all Obama's lectures to the right? This is the same thing, except on Twitter. And when we'd complain you folks would tell us elections have consequences.
Exactly! Everyone has a right to his/her own opinion, and to express it -- until that opinion becomes something which a supposedly-enlightened clique seeks to officially sanction, and force upon all of us, via the monopoly on coercion grated to the nation state.
The players had a point to make, and they got that point across; the rest is up to a process driven by the free and open exchange of human opinion -- and there are still a large legion of whiners and complainers out there who don't like the way that opinion was expressed on 11/8/2016.
Too bad; you lost, but the system is still working.
I feel the same way. If they think America is so bad they should give up their millions for playing a stupid game and go live where they think it's better. If they think they can use their jobs as their own free time they should quit or be fired.
UGH I knew Trump was going to be attacked the moment I heard him say this.
What he is doing is questioning the players patriotism. If the player wants to disrespect the flag then maybe he shouldn't be here. There are not many countries in the world that would pay someone millions of dollars to play a game.
I guess Trump thinks these guys should be a bit more grateful ?
Trump should stay out of commenting on the NFL and their rules but he was doing so as a guy not as the President.
I think he should be bringing more attention to the illegal aliens that seek sanctuary here in the US but on the weekends they fly the flag of their home country, the very one that was oppressing them? Weird.
Where was his patriotism when he was busy avoiding the draft, I guess he didn't love his country enough to put his life on the line for her.
Does anyone really care about a bunch of overpaid people?
Half or more would be working some loser job or unemployed if they couldn't play some stupid game.
Overpaid, underpaid, vital to society or not, why on G-d's green earth does it matter? This administration is using a pattern of dehumanization regarding those they disagree with. That should cut to the core of every American, regardless of whether you agree or disagree with the kneeling.

lOL.. I still don’t understood turned veterans into such whiny babies. It has nothing to do with them. Geez, find a real cause to be outraged about, vets-how many of them are homeless mentally ill addicts? Maybe focus on that and not a piece of cloth.
I do understand how simple Trump voters eat it up with a spoon, though.
Why is it that right wingers embrace freedom for the things they hold dear yet wish to deny it to others who have differing political viewpoints? They are usually the ones who proclaim the loudest about the virtue of being American and the freedoms we're supposed to have. Yet they do not or cannot understand that those freedoms apply to everyone, not just straight white conservative Christian males.
One really must wonder why they are so hypocritical. What are they so afraid of?
Disrespecting an important symbol of the United States calls into question their true feelings towards this country.
Do you feel that way about women who wear US Flag bikini's and guys who wear US Flag underwear?
