jrober38 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 (edited) The Chump chimes in. @BryanAGraham Trump's comments in Alabama tonight on the NFL's rule changes and ongoing anthem protests. These comments are so out of touch. Trump obviously has no idea what CTE is. Edited September 23, 2017 by jrober38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob's House Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Honestly, this whole thing is really pathetic. I know everyone wants to find some purpose to give their lives meaning, but if the best thing you can come up with is to rail against racism, sexism, and homophobia in 21st century western culture, your purpose is pretty weak.

So says the white guy wearing the wife beater. Wait a sec... How'd it come to be 21st century Western culture? Oops, yep... Railing against racism, sexism, and homophobia.

The protest crap is a turnoff. So is the lousy officiating. Has nothing to do with CTE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 awe, loss of viewers. like monuments, flags, groups, etc. society is so easily offended these days...so !@#$ing soft. learn to ignore the protests and just do what you came to do or turned the tube on to do, watch the !@#$ing game. otherwise, if it offends that much, don't watch. the games will go on regardless and I'll be watching.

It's fine to want to improve aspects of society, but living in the most egalitarian culture in the history of the world while carrying on with histrionics as though we're living under a racial caste system is a little silly.

Wtf are you talking about? Donald Trump has done more in one day than you'll ever do. He has achieved success. He has left the basement of a house more than 3 times, at the least. He has balls. You do not. You refuse to even reply to me. It's fun. I can anything I want. 26 contributed more to this board with his first post than you have with your 32,000. You are an ignorant moron.

row_33 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Keeping people pacified by kneeling during the anthem is cheap compared to the daily bombings and kidnappings we went through 45+ years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boatdrinks Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Wtf are you talking about? . The comments earlier in the thread from Shady, and the NFL union president DeMaurice Smith. That's wtf im talking about. Smith seems to think that you have the same rights at work as you do anywhere else. He's wrong and an a$$hat. Trump was spot on in his comments. The league needs to look at these things when wondering why their ratings are down. Officiating is terrible and the protests are annoying and a huge turn off.

Magox Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Trump purposely made that divisive comment and it certainly wasn't an off-the-cuff statement. It was a political move that plays to his base and to be honest with you probably plays well with others as well. People by and large are not supportive of professional athletes not standing for the Anthem. They believe that this country afforded them the opportunity that they have and they are disrespecting the country and for those that fought for it. With that said, I completely disagree with what Trump said, it was divisive and ignores the sentiment of our first amendment rights. However this is not a fight that the NFL wants to have. They will lose this battle. They are already in a ratings decline, there is clear evidence through a propendrance of polling data that shows that Kap and others are part of the reason of the decline and the NFL taking a stand potentially could and most likely inflame part of his base which would hurt ratings even more so. I understand that the NFL was put into a difficult position by Trump because they felt the need to protect their product but nothing good will come out of this.
