This along with ATT/Direct TV announcing that any customer can cancel the NFL Sunday Ticket package for a full refund means a devastating week for the the NFL. The majority of the country is with Trump and against the knee benders.
Of course they lied. They have billions of dollars invested in the success of the NFL. Without it, they are toast. Disney would look at selling them off. It's also why ABC is loath to say anything about it.
Lots of unfounded guesswork in that link. But hey, he was the one who decided to nake it a national issue. And as he's such a massively disliked, divisive character, people will now look at this as a pro/contra Trump issue.
It should be a surprise to no one, but his election confirms how deeply rooted racism is in America. Half of this country likely is racist, sympathetic to racism or just clueless that they enable one of these two groups. Most Trump supporters fall into this last group.
Trump led the "birther" movement, which was founded in racism, it was his attempt to delegitimize the black man, make him less than qualified and negate his accomplishments. Pres. Obama handled Trump with dignity and class, and no matter how much wealth Trump has he can never have dignity and class in his life.
Those are earned, not purchased.
It went beyond Barack, too.
I remember threads in which Trump supporters bashed Michelle's compliments and claimed that she was a product of affirmative action.
This was, of course, without providing any proof, sources, transcripts, nothing. All they needed to make that claim and stand firm behind it was the fact that Michelle is a liberal black woman. Heck, forget the "liberal" part.
The fact that they praise Ivanka, who literally could blow her nose with 20$ bills growing up, but disparage Michelle's accomplishments and claimed she didn't do it on her own merit tells you all you need to know.
It's really rooted in the fact that these black liberals took the job of President and First Lady from white people, a position they did deserved in a place they did not belong, and the fact that these two have accomplished more than any of these supporters hope to. But even if the accomplishments were level, you're right, the Obamas have class and dignity, something your average Trump supporter knows nothing about.
The protesting players wasn't even a major topic at the time Trump said what he said. Kaepernick is a free agent and none of the other players were getting that much attention. The country was pretty much focused on other things like NK, hurricanes, things like that.
But, I'll give Trump credit. He knows how to whip his fanbase up in a frenzy, get them distracted from issues that actually will affect them, like healthcare, and reaffirm his support. To be fair, all you have to say is "black", and that's enough to make them start foaming at the mouth.
That you claim to have "no relationship" with the civil rights struggle, just because you weren't around for it. It shaped the society you live in to a huge extent.
As posted above, the finance houses are starting to tell their clients to start moving money to bet against the media companies dependent upon the NFL.
It's very very bad for the NFL as the knee benders are destroying the brand.

The man is massively out of his depth.
Yeah you said this when you claimed he had no chance to win the Presidency too. Yet he won it, and won it big.
Might want to think about this a bit as you continue to put for that you know what it's like to be in touch with mainstream Americans.
Kippernick was drinking the BLM kool aide when his numbers tanked. Is this accurate?
