Trump blasts NFL kneelers

I was thinking about this a couple days ago--What if some pro-life football players (or other sports figures) decided they were going to kneel for the unborn as the national anthem played? I wonder how many of us would be condemning them for being unpatriotic?
Yes. I would definitely be condemning them. Not for their cause, but for their misguided actions and disrespect.

Those football players have the right to free speech ON THEIR OWN TIME. I say shame on the NFL and the various teams for not nipping this in the bud and proclaiming that on team time everybody stands for the national anthem, and the first one to violate this rule gets either suspended, fined, or fired.

They are not paid millions to stand during national anthem so that's their time and not the club's

What? I don't know of another job in which one is required to wear a uniform, and when in uniform does not represent his employer. Can an off-duty police officer go to a bar or strip joint in uniform and do his own thing, for example? An airline pilot? A nurse?...

So when is the appropriate time for a black man to protest?

Not on the field- NFL players
Not on the streets-BLM
Not on their Twitter handle-Jemelle Hill
Not on their own show- Stevie Wonder

You just want them to protest in their prayer closet where no one can see, right?

Only blacks can protest. LOL. A little dramatic, aren't we ?

Cmon. You want to afford change ? Get a job working with the folks you say you care about. Anyone can take a knee.

I'm sure you've done an exhaustive search for the players taking a knee to see what efforts they have or have not done in their communities right?

Kaepernik or however you spell it got some award for throwing some money around. The group who gave him the award also reached out to the Ray Rice and tried to get his suspension negated after her helped that young lady off the elevator. I'm sure they're all real stand-up guys.

So there you go.

Threw some money around. Oh yeah and he sacrificed his career. Don't forget that little tidbit.

UOT what are you saying ? Fans should suck this up and keep watching ?

The NFL will most likely lose its tax exempt status over this. It will be very hard for small market teams to compete. Players and staff salaries are going to drop. Vendors are going to be put out of work.

Nice work. Go NFL. No Fans Left.

Lol. He sacrificed his career by going 1-11 last time.

Dude Joe Webb just got signed awhile ago. Is anyone going to tell me Joe Webb is a better choice than Kapernick? Spare me.

Kap went 1-11 because they the Super Bowl team around him is gone to include his head coach.

I think people are getting tired of being called "racist". Blowback is bound to happen.

C K blew it by making his cause bigger than the NFL. He's an idiot. You don't make a speech about oppression wearing a Che Guerra t-shirt. He didn't only sacrifice his career, he brought the entire league down with him. And it was declining before Trump weighed in.
