Trump: NFL should fire players who kneel during anthem

[JA]

If only he had responded with equal condemnation to the right-wing terrorist attack conducted in Charlottesville that stole the life of a young woman. But at least we know he can be so morally outraged by the peaceful protesting by African American football players; that's where the real extremism and danger lies.

[Alabama_Indy10]

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.

What about the guy who lost his starting job to Blaine Gabbert in 2015?

On a team that was actively trying to tank and is run by a manchild who got all his money from his dad? (Where have I heard that before)

So was he too good for a tanking team lol

If you do something as controversial as not stand for the national anthem and draw that kind of attention to yourself, you should at least prove that you're good enough for owners to overlook the distraction. Signing Kaepernick is not worth the controversy he brings because he's not good enough.

Donald Trump is a fascist piece of s**t for saying that they should be fired. I suddenly have the urge to go burn the American flag.

They're all anti-American.

See...the reason I hate liberals is that the only thing they like about America is the right America gives them to say how much they don't like America.

But the Democrats have a problem with identity politics, right?

That's the only thing liberals like about America? Oh please. Sit down.

[publicunofficial]

At this point if you don't think Trump is a racist the only thing that would you convince you otherwise is him saying the exact phrase "I am a racist, actually"

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

People like Donald Trump are actually making me begin to dislike this country. I'm sorry but it's true.

Uhh.. what's funny about being anti-American

What's laudable about being patriotic?

[OSR stands with Israel]

I would say if u don't want to stand for anthem, stay in locker room during it.

What country would you feel patriotic in?

None. I don't care about that nonsense.

I cannot see how anyone can possibly deny the fact Donald Trump is a fascist...

[Absentee Voting Ghost of Ruin]

Trump is called out on his evil by a much better man:

I'd love to see you say this in front of a bonafide Auschwitz survivor.

If you do something as controversial as not stand for the national anthem and draw that kind of attention to yourself, you should at least prove that you're good enough for owners to overlook the distraction. Signing Kaepernick is not worth the controversy he brings because he's not good enough.

He led his team to a Super Bowl one year and an NFC championship another year. But yeah he's not good enough to start over Brian Hoyer.

Yeah and last year he led his team to a 2-14 record.

To be fair, last year's 49ers would have terrible with any quarterback.

Blake Bortles doesn't even have a double digit wins total in over 3 seasons as a starter and yet who are the Jags starting this year?

Trump's comments badmouthing Colin Kaepernick and others who kneel, sit, or raise fists during the national anthem is more proof that he is a senile racist. As an American who believes in patriotism and the freedom of expression, I proudly support the actions of Kaepernick and Co. kneeling, sitting, or raising fists during the anthem.

[ProudModerate2]

First I want to say, that this is an area a president should not insert himself into.
The Fuhrer is mixing 1st amendment issues, with employers needing to fire people and saying that the NFL is "massively losing ratings" because of the god-trump.

If you watch the video of his speech (http://www.cnn.com/2017/09/23/politics/nfl-goodell-trump-response/index.html), trump is feeding-off of the crowd, so he says stupid things to get attention (very immature and childish). He gets a hard-on from the applause and excitement of his Deplorable base. trump needs to feel accepted, and if he doesn't have it, he pretends he does and convinces himself that it's really there and everyone else is wrong.
If you haven't figured it out yet, this clown has severe mental problems, including a bad-case of narcissism.

Still, Kaepernick was their quarterback
