Now, both the OWNERS and and PLAYERS and most AMERICANS are enraged by trump and his constant race baiting.
While his base loves these s*** storms he gins up to take Russian, Healthcare, the Wall, DACA, etc. out of the news, everyone one else sees this mental patient for what he is.
I saw this "mental patient" for what he is as early as hearing about his first insult as candidate.*
No matter how much you detest someone, deliberately hurling insults at lots of different kinds of people is not a sign of a fit leader. Fit leaders know that proper calling out of opponents does not involve nasty tones and nasty content - they stick to the substance of their beef with the establishment and the candidate or cultural opinion-maker. While McCain and maybe O'Donnell could be fair targets in some contexts, his attacks in both style and substance were highly inappropriate (fat pig, slob, "like my heros never captured", etc).
If Demagogue Donald's gonna keep being true to my moniker, then other public or semi-public figures (in this case, athletes) have a right (if not obligation) to speak out against him.
*I didn't pay jacks attention to Trump's doings at all before he became a candidate - not even his TV show (I rarely watch TV anyway). Had I done so, I'd've seen him for what he is much earlier than his first major insult as a candidate.
If the NFL will continue to allow them to protest, and bring unwanted, and unnecessary politics into my relaxation, and entertainment time then I will no longer go to games, or watch them on TV. So, yes, that is my choice.
This kneeling isn't even happening during the game, it's prior to the game when the anthem is played. Use those couple minutes to get yourself a beer & a snack before settling in to watch the game.
It would've never had a resurgence and been a huge deal if Trump didn't try to shut people down. What's happening today is 100% in response to his ignorance.
No, this liberal progressive crap, where they turn everything into an opportunity to parade their political agenda, has been going on for decades, and now the lib'tards have moved it into football.
Sorry pal, the left politicizing everything, was going on way before the 2016 presidential campaign even started. Trump only voiced the same exact opinion that many other Americans have voiced before.
A supposition pulled out of thin air, if there ever was one.
People using their position as a football player to act out the politics, is not something anyone respects. If a player wants to be an activist, fine, go do it on their own time, when not in uniform.

Stop. I'm clearly talking about this specific protest being because of Trump. It's not debatable.
"I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color," Kaepernick told NFL Media in an exclusive interview after the game. "To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder."
Man, the turmoil and chaos this President has brought to America is amazing. Give me the good old days when our President had brains and class ! Is there any area he has not screwed up so far ?
