Trump is against those kneeling in the NFL

[SMTA]

Lighten up, Monica.

EMETIB.

That idiot reaped exactly what he sowed.

I treated him as he deserved. Clowns like him will never learn.

Screw his childish accusations.

[Gunny]

To draw attention away from my team? The team I clearly already condemned down the line? Sure thing, Mr. Not reading.

I read fine, dork. Maybe I need to re-read this thread, then re-read the other thread just like it and see what responses I put in which thread because having just ONe thread would be just too damned easy.

Several of them are all devolving into the same crap. It's about blacks. It's about respect. It's about Trump. Don't forget, diaper boy, I was a Steelers fan before anyone even thought of YOU. I got football cards older than you. I was actually shocked at Tomlin's choice because no one expects that of the Steelers. I commended Villanueva on doing the right thing, but he's not going into "hero" status for a mop-up operation over a mess HE made.

I was just teasing you anyway, jerk off.

However, as stated in one thread or two or another ... people are being forced to choose or made to feel like they have to choose a side. Sucks to be YOU. I already hated the NFL and Roger "No Spine" Goodell. Was he enforcing his own damned rules, this issue wouldn't exist. But don't let some jackass get accused of underinflating his friggin' ball or Goodell will shit all over him.

Btw, according to the NFL, the reason they started with the anthem at the games, and making the flags bigger and bigger - was to honor our American troops and veterans before each game. Let that sink in.

So now, they "reverse" that, and don't want to honor the troops and veterans.

I don't know if it matters which thread, this or the Steelers thread...

Apparently some "wounded warriors" and fellow veterans/friends of Villanueva had called him about this whole thing. While he didn't get into specifics, it's obvious they didn't want him to let politics enter the equation and have him disrespect fellow fallen soldiers and brothers in arms.

I argued with someone on FB - they said "WTF does the flag have directly to do with the military anyway, it doesn't" or something like that.

That first sentence is everything. My WWII history teacher today spent the first full 5 minutes of class off-topic explaining to us from her bully pulpit that protesting the anthem and flag at the games have nothing to do with disrespecting our military. Wish I could have told her this.

Isn't SMTA an engine oil additive that after all its great promises turned out to be as worthless as the can it came in?

You're just trying to dump on the Cowboys to dray attention away from your team. In fact, there is no right response that isn't going to piss someone off. THAT I DO blame on Trump. He turned this into some matter of honor and respect and gave it way more prominence not to mention momentum. As it was, One dumbass QB nobody has signed and a few players were doing it. Trump weighing in forced of made everyone felt forced to take a side. All fine and well if it was something more important than a football game. No matter who did what, the left (playing the usual victim card) and the media were ready to pounce.

Some things the President need to just not comment on. This is one. Now look at it. All the Pete's in the US are crying. And for Pete: this WAS about race? Not anymore. Bogus as it was, your side loses too. It was stupid to begin with. Now its the NFL vs Trump.

Hope some of y'all came out the other end with dry Pampers. Well, actually I don't care. Hope you got a rash. No matter who says what talking sideways and backwards out of their mouths, if you disrespect the symbol of this Nation, you are disrespecting the Nation. Period. Plain English.

Anyone here bothered at all by the fact we got 3 hurricane cleanups going on and Cream of Sum Young Guy has all but declared war on the US? That's as much for the finger-pointing left as anyone else. Y'all haven't addressed anything BUT lies and false accusations in years and you lost THAT one brain cell the day Trump won. You're so stupid you'd give this Nation to NK just to beat Trump at something.

Gotta disagree. Jim posted several team videos, not just the Cowboys. Including, I believe, of the Steelers.

Ya lost me there Gunny... what does SMTA have to do with anything...

[Gunny]

Speaking of morons, you are completely incorrect in assuming that I voted for Clinton.

You are pathetically childish in your assumptions. Fell free to go fuck yourself. Douchebag.

.Yep. I was wrong. Took a few to place your troll non-American ass. But hey, the Dems let Mexican illegals aliens vote. Should have gotten in on it.

so why don't YOU go fuck yourself? It's not your flag but I WILL fight you for it. Ask a few of your raghead buddies. Oh yeah, you can't. They aren't around anymore.

[High_Plains_Drifter]

I agree... but the reason I posted that was because Gunny said it just between president Trump and the NFL.

He may have had more reason behind saying that than indicated but he hasn't elaborated yet.

I thought the poll was worth posting in any case.

Good. Maybe trump's real approval rating is 64 percent.

No Gunny. SMTA is the stuff plumbers use to find holes in pipes that lead to cesspool stoppages and the STINK that can kill, coming from SICK MINDS....

SMTA is a believer in the COTUS and the BOR who believes in individual rights and freedom.

SMTA is not a Kool Aid drinking brainless follower like some morons.

so why don't YOU go fuck yourself? It's not your flag but I WILL fight you for it. Ask a few of your raghead buddies. Oh yeah, you can't. They aren't around anymore.

What a pathetic excuse you are for a human.

It is my flag, just like everyone else.

Fuck you and your service for the way you piss on this country and its people.

Unlike your worthless ass, most vets have class.

No Gunny. SMTA is the stuff plumbers use to find holes in pipes that lead to cesspool stoppages and the STINK that can kill, coming from SICK MINDS....

Look at the cute little moron making signs. How proud you must be.

I am so glad Trump has spoken out about this!

By far there is no more important issue facing our country than a bunch of overpaid children playing professional sports who take their platform and use it as an opportunity to exercise their First Amendment right to express themselves on an issue they feel strongly about.

I am so glad that he is not worried about leading the GOP through the upcoming ACA repeal attempt, his confidence level for its replacement must be very high.

I am so glad he is not worried about lowering our taxes...

I am so glad he is not worried about his wall...

I am so glad he is not worried about the myriad of other issues that we as a nation face.


The NFL players taking a knee is the most egregious threat to America today. No doubt about it, it's yuge, believe me...

...
In the end, the NFL will suffer for it, the owners will suffer for it, the teams will suffer for it, the players will suffer for it, the television networks will suffer for it. Then.

I see. The President cannot make a comment, and still pay attention to any other issues. I must know all incredibly brilliant talented people, because I don't know anyone who can only pay attention to one item a day.

[jimnyc]

Simply do it at another time, fury goes away - and perhaps they even choose a way to where their message is actually listened to. Make no mistake, while people are paying attention right now, it's because of the disrespect and commotion over it. I barely see any discussion at all about what concerns them. So simple, choose a different avenue that will garner attention and get folks to respectfully listen and pay attention.

They are SO rich that they can all afford to get together and make a special conference at a stadium, for example, and have it on during prime time.

How many people have been handed one of these? How many are related to someone handed one of these? How many friends? It goes very deep.
