Trump: NFL should fire players who kneel during anthem

[Yank2133]

The NFL has covered up for plenty of real criminals, who still get to keep their outrageous salaries and fame, and we don't see him talking about those folks.

But sure, let's talk about firing people who are actually doing nothing wrong.

There's nothing wrong with not standing for the national anthem?

Is there literally anything wrong with not signing a quarterback because he's not good enough?
There is literally nothing wrong with not standing for the national anthem, yes.

You see, I would agree you if Blake Bortles, Mike Glennon, and Brian Hoyer didn't have jobs.

Yup.

No matter where you stand on the anthem issue, there is no denying that Trump botched this. He has now flipped the argument from the issue about police brutality/respect for the flag into an issue about Trump.

You are now seeing guys like Rodgers and Brady throw support to the guys protesting.

This whole ordeal is why it is laughable to think there some strategy behind anything Trump does. He just saw the NFL/flag issue on fox news and starting ranting like your drunken uncle at thanksgiving. No long-term thinking at all.
