Trump’s NFL Flag Bullshit Not Going Away

[Hugo Stiglitz 23,367]

Yes, we need a thread for this, sadly

[David Dennison 18,853]

The only reason this is an issue is because Colin Kaepernick had the audacity to be black. If I white player had started doing this for any reason whatsoever, the White House wouldn't have said a word.

Our president is a racist and the people who support him politically support racism.

[Hugo Stiglitz 23,367]

It’s only an issue because it’s divisive as fuck.  

Mixing race, police brutality, freedom of speech, the flag, patriotism, the military, peaceful protest, AND NFL Football?

It’s a trolls wet dream of a combination to stoke the flames around these issues.

This is Trump’s sacred cow topic now.

Sadly, it’s a winning issue polls wise for him.  So don’t expect an end anytime soon.  It also hurts the NFL, which trump is still pissed at.  His tweets pre running for President about the NFL are nothing but sour grapes ranting about how much the NFL sucks now.  He is pathetic

People shouldn’t be allowed to protest at work unless they’re denying marriage certificates to homosexuals.

Republicans are going to retain control of the house and Trump is going to win re-election because America is full of stupid racists who vote and not-as-stupid non-racists who don't.

couldn't happen to a nicer Cuck, you reap what you sow....morons such as yourself are responsible for the DoTard...what do you tell your children?

[RayDog 682]

What I do not understand is that kneeling has always been a deeper sign of respect or reverence than standing.

You would think Trump would want all of his subjects to kneel.

Ain't shit happening to me, buddy. I'm a white man of very comfortable financial means. It's the morons running Waffle House shifts who hate blacks and Mexicans more than they love themselves as them and their cousins die of opiate overdoses that are fucking themselves over, cucking themselves for an obvious NY huckster.

Love to kill my own chances of success and sabotage my quality of life to own the libs. lol

Disagreeing with Kap has nothing to do with his race.

Negged...  first post I've negged on Surly and if I could do it twice I would.  Fuck you and the racist call outs with the broad strokes.

Not butthurt either.

 

y'all will never understand why Kap is wrong, but go ahead and declare everyone who disagrees with him a racist.

You can't even explain coherently why you think he's wrong. 

[Gil Bang 25,934]

Slorch, surely you acknowledge that racism does exist.

Here's a question that I hope you'll answer:  Of the folks angry of at the NFL players who take a knee, what % of them have used the word "nigger" recently.

I'm guessing it's 75%+

Roseanne did much worse back in the day.

[Hugo Stiglitz 23,367]

It’s not only about race, but Trump is fine with you thinking it is, he wants to push that division too.  This is about HIM.

It’s about Trump being able to fuse the flag and the military to himself in the eyes of his supporters.

This is psychological warfare and Trump is winning.

When the TV contract comes up for renewal, how much less per year do you think this shit will reduce it?  I'll guess $200MM.

If there's one thing I know about Eagles fan, it's that suits and dresses are their preferred attire.

[Paul Wesley 3,278]

I don't know, slorch.  Didn't Trump say on more than one occasion that "they (the players) should be grateful?"

Grateful to whom?  Grateful for what?  

That comment just stinks of old-school, know-your-place racism.

Personally, I think white guys who inherit a quarter of a billion dollars ought to be grateful, but that's just me.

 

['stache 21,801]

Fuck the eagles.  I hope Trump uses his dictator powers to kill the franchise and send their fans to internment camps.

[David Dennison 18,853]

The best part of this whole thing is that it has turned into a wypipo cry fest revealing a level of butt hurt not seen since OJ got acquitted. All over the issue of some black dudes taking a knee during the national anthem at a football game.

Silly wypipo.

I don't know anybody who is angry about NFL players taking a knee.  I don't know anybody who has used the word "nigger" recently.  I know many who have reduced their NFL viewing.  My viewing went from about 30 games per year to about 3.

who are you kidding?  He dominates your head every day and in everything you read and participate in...it's glorious to watch you suffer and then deflect with your one liners and multiple socks...David.

I do love some leftist message board folks speaking on behalf of all minorities. Spoke with a bunch of brave men and women of all colors at Warriors weekend in Port O recently.  They almost to a person support the message behind the protest and categorically disagree with method of delivery.  I guess they were all racist son of a bitches.

Again, if the NFL players actually cared about the message they pretend to promote, they would simply change the delivery method as to not offend those they wish to motivate.  Their conviction is that of a child, "I'm going to keep doing it because you told me not too."

How do you explain this to your children?

[RPM 26,318]

Does anyone even remember why the players are kneeling? Oh, yeah... Cops killing blacks at an unprecedented scale. Of course Trump hates the protests.

It’s like the NFL owners never watched the breaking bad episode “half measures.” They have fucked this whole thing up completely and continue to do so.  Half measures don’t work in the face of complete opposition. 

Hey NFL owners here’s the thing: Trump hates your collective guts because you denied him an NFL franchise twice and he got his ass kicked and humiliated in court on the USFL thing. The Salty Sailor never forgets a humiliation because it strikes him at his core. He wants to destroy you and the anthem kneeling bullshit is a political win for him with his stupid ass base. 

So when all this bullshit came along you had two choice, (1) stand with the Dotard and tell your players to fuck off, or (2) stand with the players and tell the Dotard to fuck off. You owners have tried to have it both ways, as best exemplified by Jerry’s pathetic kneeling with the players then standing before the anthem in a game last year. 

Choose a a side then execute a plan you nitwits. How the fuck did you ever make so much money anyway acting like a bunch of pussies.
