Can't lie about that. Some liberals do celebrate conservatives being fired from TV shows. And we have conservarives showing the same scorn for liberals.
Let's call it what it is. Liberals and conservatives are at each others throats, and the divide will remain.
I don't think that is the case and I don't think that you can speak for every conservative. Conservatives that I am aware of point out the hypocrisy of liberals when they say something controversial but don't get fired for it, given they want every conservative fired.
You are stating the obvious that there will be a divide between two groups of people with different politics.
If you truly believe that anyone (even "relatively wealthy conservatives and their children") is going to give up watching sports to stand in solidarity with the clown-in-chief, there is a bridge in Brooklyn....
Sports is way more popular than Trump and is the biggest type of entertainment there is in the country.
If anyone should be neutral and keep his big mouth out of sports, it is the so-called president.
Speaking of big mouths, did you notice the stands at the Thursday Night game in San Francisco? Or last Sunday's game in L.A. ? Yeah, sure. People aren't going to give up their pro sports teams.
Sounds a lot more like "the entire sports world is waging WAR on the Voters who elected Donald Trump AND the American Flag and National Anthem".
Time will tell how "hilarious" they think it is. People are FED-UP with this stuff.
Kap is still sucking his thumb and whining because he doesn't have a job and NFL ratings are way, way down.
We will see who has the last "hilarious" laugh.
Professional sports is popular only to those who waste money and time in watching them. To the rest of us, they are a bloated corporate cash cow, and their worth or worthlessness has nothing to do with Trump.

I don't actually watch much other than soccer and Formula One, but a couple of Trump loyalists are not going to stop the economic machine that is sports in the US.
Football and basketball alone generate billions and billions of dollars. A few Trump snowflakes are not going to put a dent in that.
Sixty percent of the country doesn't even like Trump--he's not in a position to be bashing anyone. Just like his war with Hollywood is not keeping anyone from watching TV and movies, his war with professional athletes will not hurt sports.
You know what this will hurt? Trump's polls. People hate his stupid twitter wars, and it reminds everyone how unfit for office he truly is.
My reading is just fine. Most people polled also said Collin shouldn't be fired for kneeling either
tell that to the 32 owners, nobody wants him.......and what poll are you quoting from?

No, that is not what I said......try again.......you have 2 sides, Americans who don't condom the kneeling of our National Anthem and flag to push a personal agenda and Americans who condom that.......Trump took a side just like Obama took a side.

Well I think it is the case. I've seen both cases of this on the city-data forums. Liberals harp on conservatives and conservatives harp on liberals. I'm seeing both sides showing hypocrisy. If there aren't any conservatives who want to see people get fired for having opinions, explain the crap going on wtih Colin Kaepernick.
Ok, I would say you are doing a triangulation thing and virtue signaling. There is def. a double standard for liberals and conservatives in society. I could list example after example.
Kap isn't in the league b/c he isn't a good enough to play QB. He only started protesting when he was benched. Many conservatives are simply chosing not to watch NFL, and that is not the same thing as calling for somebody to be fired.
Good old Deadspin. Sharpest, most clever commentators in cyberspace. Really puts the CD folks around here to shame. I really enjoyed the comment along the lines that Trump supporters are quick to call out athletes for injecting politics into sports, but crickets when the Trump brings his politics into sports.
Really? How would the changing demographics of this country cause a problem for the NFL?
The vast majority of fans in the stands are white. Those fans are aging and shrinking in number. The same is true for cable subscribers.
