The president is trying to steal the narrative for these most solemn protests, from their original intent, calling attention to black men being murdered by cops, to a question of patriotism and supporting the military.
NASCAR isn't that simple. Football is. One team eins, another team loses or they tie. It is fairly simple. Take this by a former fan of NASCAR and motorsports on a whole. While the points are mostly good, the issue is the chase scenarios. Up until 2010, it was top 10/12 in points. Then it became top 10 and the top two with wins from 11 to 12 for a few years. Then the chase got revamped into race winners in the top 30 in points. The standard point structures on apps and websites don't show the points and wins, just points.
ahhh...I was referring to; left turn, left turn, left turn, left turn.....
The link to "fantasy land" is in the implication that this issue will somehow be the "downfall" of the NFL and its cultural prominence. I just do not see it happening. Does not add up. The majority of people in this country do not take politics this seriously. They are not giving up the sport that they are obsessed with over something like this.
Donald's comments on this are really not the point.
I'm simply saying that sometimes we don't know what the linchpin might be. Perhaps this blows over in a few months or perhaps we look back thinking "it all started when the NFL became politicized".
Others are of the opinion that football players can express their opinion while in uniform, while getting paid.
Their employers appear to be of that opinion.
Case closed.
Your comment and this explanation have been repeated too many times to count in this thread already that continues on like a chicken with it's head cut off, but the fact remains as you make clear...
Nevertheless, someone who has it out for liberal thinking and understanding about this, (a good deal better justified by our Constitution and decision(s) rendered by the Supreme Court of the United States) will come along again and explain how liberals just don't get.
This sort of fascist-like intolerance for dissent, even inconvenience, that Trump now promotes with typical mouth-breathing enthusiasm, is what we should all recognize, understand and push back against, like so many more players and owners of the NFL are now doing. No doubt that push back, at least by the many who simply know better, is going to grow not lessen.
Not for Trump and his supporters however! By now we all know they can be expected to circle their wagons closer and closer until maybe they'll suffocate themselves from using too much oxygen to defend the indefensible. These people are more understanding about what is convenient or inconvenient for them than they'll ever be about the difference between right and wrong.
If there is anything that stands in the way of America being as great as it can be, it's these people!

You seriously, and very dramatically, underestimate how addicted our nation is to this sport.
Judging by all the videos I'm seeing and the comment sections - I think the NFL, players and libs have picked a losing battle on this one.
Trump picked this battle, not the NFL.
