Do you think your opinion is actually fact and let your ego convince you so? I suspect yes.

No, from the horses mouth, the NFL players are protesting cops shooting unarmed black men. You somehow think you know better? In other words I have a source other than me that's a direct party to the situation in question. What do you have backing up your suppositions besides you?

The fact that police officers and unarmed black men have nothing to do with the anthem or flag... seems like I do know better...

You're right. They're NOT protesting the anthem or the flag. They're protesting cops shooting unarmed black guys by kneeling during the anthem. That gets them noticed, which is, of course, the whole idea of a protest. That fact it gets your panties ruffled proves it's working.

I don't go to the courthouse and protest Publix selling eggs... don't matter if they are idiots and can't figure it out. they are protesting by displaying a disrespectful manner TOWARDS the anthem/flag is still disrespectful regardless of what they are doing it for... someone can burn the flag and protest the same thing, doesn't make what they did okay...

If that's true, where were these protests when that fool Obama was President? Most of these killings happened under his watch. I guess the idiot NFL players and their supporters are too stupid to see that.

Default CNN Anchor: NFL Owners Have Data That Support Trump’s Claim on NFL Protests Hurting TV Ratings

Well, howz about that, eh libs?

From the Washington Free Beacon -

"CNN host John King said Sunday that NFL owners have data supporting President Donald Trump's claim that television ratings have gone down because of players' protests during the national anthem.

"NFL owners so far siding with their players for their right to free speech, but they're also keeping close tabs on the financial impact and the public relations impact of this confrontation," King said.

He went on to say that the NFL owners have research "clearly showing the president is right" when he claims the national anthem protests are one factor in TV ratings dropping"

1 player versus 200. That would be those 199 players and their defenders.
