He's not forcing anybody to do anything. Free speech doesn't impose.

Every country is divided politically. That's a good thing.

I don't agree the county today is divided racially simply because of a small number of vocal liberals saying so all the time, which is really about increasing minority turnout at elections.

51 percent were 45 years or older,

68 percent made more than $60,000 a year, and,

registered Republicans were 21 percent more likely to be NFL fans than registered Democrats.

In other words, we're talking about a largely white, largely male, older and reasonably affluent fan base that skews Republican. That sounds a lot like people who voted for Trump in significant numbers.

If players want to engage in political antics with their fans, that decision probably ain't gonna be good for players' multi-million dollar paychecks.
Yes, and as there are fewer of those folks around, the NFL's revenue will go down. Same with major college football too.

Pro sports can go Efff themselves, except for the NHL.

God that idiot kapernick has caused us to waste so much time on a stupid issue. Kneel if you want, does not matter one way or the other just makes you look stupid and disrespectful to the veterans that died for you to live a pampered life making millions of dollars to play a game. Stop wasting time on this! We have much bigger problems to deal with

That is exactly what they think and say and have been for sometime. They think freedom of speech is reserved for their group think hive. They aren't use to people standing up and pushing back on their ignorant communist crap.
Elected GOP leaders may be weak and cowardly but many people have found a voice and Trump is that voice. Many are tired of hearing that the USA isn't worth defending or respect.

How did he force a business to fire someone? What did he do to get the person fired? He made a comment, that's all. He can, and does SPEAK HIS MIND, and doesn't sugar coat it. That is refreshing to me.

Too simplistic.


People who are 35 today will be 45 in a decade and might become fans.
