Among other things.


The NFL players are at it again - taking a knee when they should be standing proudly for the National Anthem. Numerous players, from different teams, wanted to show their "outrage" at something that most of them are unable to define. They make a fortune doing what they love......


.....Be happy, be cool! A football game, that fans are paying soooo much money to watch and enjoy, is no place to protest. Most of that money goes to the players anyway. Find another way to protest. Stand proudly for your National Anthem or be Suspended Without Pay!

I guess when you lose the popular vote, you start thinking that 48% is 'most'

EDIT **This doesn't even take into account that players don't get paid their contract rate during the preseason. They get a per-diem. Everyone playing for the next 4 weeks gets paid $1900 a week to destroy their bodies.

Amazing how anytime this anthropomorphic piece of shit opens his fat, hateful mouth, whatever he's screaming about can always be applied to himself.

I don't think NFL was the original N-word he drafted in that first sentence

As someone who lives in the UK, why is there such a protest against people kneeling? Surely if they want to kneel, they can. Like how some people sing the national anthem, and some don't. It's their choice, so why the furor?

Everyone knows that once you make more than $1 million a year you give up your right to express your opinion, makes perfect sense to me

Because to idiots like Trump and others, kneeling is disrespecting America and the troops.

Them Republicans hate government fiddling with what private corporations are doing. Except for those damn onoroous black people! Why can't they just do what whitey says ugh

This is about race and it always has been. "You're protesting wrong" has been the call of racists for a hundred years at this point

He has a point, all those people are paying good money to see the players stand for the national anthem.

Because Republicans in this country have a nationalistic/racist stick shoved so far up their ass they can't think straight.

Basically, black people dared to step outside the role racist white people want them to be in.

Because we have a lot of crazy assholes in this country.

The reaction to the NFL protests for something called Black Lives Matter (probably the mildest and easiest thing to get behind of all time) is beyond disgusting.

If you were to earn what a football player is earning until September you would just miss 100K annually.

Players only make bank during the regular season.

It's pretty fucked up that teams are charging north of $100 a ticket for what is pretty much free labor compared to the regular season.

'Most of the money goes to them anyway" is probably the most egregious thing in those tweets considering MLB and NBA pay their players better for less violent sports.

It's almost like nine times out of ten, the word "outrage" is now used by assholes to tell others they don't want to hear them.

Yea I'm waiting for the news to drop too. I see past this garbage and I'm hoping everyone else here does too. He successfully trolls people so easily.
He is racism is not a troll, it's who he is. But you can see the forest and the trees at the same time

Because there are a shitload of racist white people in this country that will not be happy until black people are only allowed to protest social injustices in the privacy of their own homes, and even then they'd probably still bitch about it.

At this point it might as well be, because he uses it as a shield when real news comes out about him and his camp. It's tiring.
It's not a shield, it's a pacifier. He demeans a black or brown person and a third of the country gives him props for it.

Trump has no empathy for others. It's no surprise he can't fathom why some humans care about others and use their platform shine a light on those less fortunate.

That's so pathetic I don't even know where to begin. And they want to dock the wages or ban players from competing if they do this? Now if only other players did the same. Is it only black players who do this, or do some white people kneel in support also? It would be nice tk see an entire NFL team kneel. Good luck banning them all

I really hope this guy goes to jail and his whole Trump brand/empire or what ever you want to call it crumbles.

This shit is infuriating.

What they protesting is clear as day and has been clear since day 1.

Fuck off. They are under no obligation to quietly protest in a dark corner away from your fragile white eyes.

I can assure you if something big drops, I'll be able to process it. I'll even have a mod lock this thread if it makes you feel better.
