Seems like someone does not like it that NFL players are just like the rest of us, a cross section of our society just like every other profession. Others should care, Why?
So Kippernick refused to stand for the National Anthem and wore socks which advocated killing police officers and everyone joined him in solidarity with his actions to defend him against the President?
Do I have that right?
Are you for real? Particularly about the socks:
"I wore these socks, in the past, because the rogue cops that are allowed to hold positions in police departments, not only put the community in danger, but also put the cops that have the right intentions in danger by creating an environment of tension and mistrust. I have two uncles and friends who are police officers and work to protect and serve ALL people. So before these socks, which were worn before I took my public stance, are used to distract from the real issues, I wanted to address this immediately."
We have had NFL players beating their wives and girlfriends, assaulting people, abusing steroids, drug abuse, dog fighting and animal abuse, committing murder, DUI's, child abuse, child endangerment, rape, and vandalism.
At no point did any player on any team take a knee in protest. Not one player refused to share a locker room with a wife beater. Yet these guys are now holier then thou.....please.
The irony of the whole thing is that the person, Kaepernick, who started this whole "oppression" protest seemed to be a fan of Castro and Che. That's like saying you're against violence towards women and wear a Ted Bundy shirt.
We're talking about grown men who make a living dressing up in tights to play a child's game that involves them hitting themselves in the head over and over again. What's amazing to me is that so many adults have been idolizing them for so long.
So basically in your mind there are no more important matters for Trump to address then. Correct? Man. Obama did a great job them since the country is humming along. We know Trump has done nothing.
Also you fail to address Trump saying Obama that a POTUS should not be telling a private business what to do.
Responses..
How do you know Trump isn't addressing more important matters? Your question is also an ad hominem fallacy. (but I was nice and indulged you this time)
Obama did a great job? The Democrat party was destroyed by Obama's policies, nonsense, wars of choice, and race huckstering. This speaks for itself. America was tired of Obama. He's out with the trash.
The NFL isn't just a private business. It operates under monopoly rules guaranteed by the government, it's stadiums are financed by the taxpayers, and people are forced to finance it via cable/satellite TV subscriptions whether they want to or not. All guaranteed by the government. But this is all secondary. Trump called our the knee benders for their bull****. And America agrees with him.
Hope that clears it up for you.
