Kaepernick is 100 times more a man that Trump ever though of being

[Penelope]

Trump is such a disaster, talk about unpatriotic, draft dodger, and his sons never entered the war in Iraq, but they can shoot wild animals.
Trump born with a silver spoon, spoiled all his life, lived in court rooms suing or getting sued. Reality TV man.

He was too big to fail when he couldn't pay his bills, so the banks bailed him out. What a loser.

Penelope, are you under the professional care of professionals? You seem possibly mentally retarded.

Kaepernick was probably trying to make himself relevant when he was no longer getting much playing time.

Craperdick is a no-talent pice of shit who did this to gain sympathy for himself. Every liberal wants him playing again, regardless of his ability. If liberal's were in charge of innovation, we'd be living in caves and paying for sunlight.

I cannot help but think Trump inserted himself into "the kneel" to gratuitously use it as a way to rejoin his battle with the NFL. His NFL-related remarks last week strike me as that and as Trump finding a way to make the conversation be about him.

It's not surprising that Trump has been engendering animus toward the NFL. One of his failed ventures was the USFL New Jersey Generals. Trump is merely manifesting his long-held grudge over having drove the USFL to failure and, as is typical of Trump, he blames the NFL for it instead of seeing that he, quite simply, "screwed the pooch" himself. (These articles are well worth reading.)

• Trump wanted to be an NFL team owner, but they thought he was a ‘scumbag huckster’
• How Donald Trump Destroyed a Football League
• 5 things about Donald Trump's USFL adventure
• Donald Trump as Football Owner: A Beautiful Circus

Trump, from the very beginning, wanted to be an NFL owner, so he crafted a plan to create a competitor to the NFL that the NFL would later absorb, thus getting him into the NFL owners club. His plan didn't work and it destroyed the USFL.

Read his bio, much more a man than Trump ever was. He was upset over the police injustice, not the flag or veterans although he would have every right to not like the anthem or the man who wrote it (both racist) .

We do have civil rights in this country last I checked, not so much now that Trump is Potus. Next we will have to salute his picture.

Of course, our Potus is racist, he doesn't care about racial injustice.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Trump is absolutely correct to stand up against the Progressive Jihad on our institutions, culture and civilization.

CK isn't playing in the NFL this year. CK's last National Anthem kneel/sit at an NFL game was over a year ago.

Here's a look at the players who have knelt, sat or demonstrated in some way during the national anthem so far this season (as of August 22nd)

REGULAR SEASON

• Marcus Peters, Chiefs (sat)
• Marshawn Lynch, Raiders (sat)
• Michael Bennett, Seahawks (sat)
• Malcolm Jenkins, Eagles (raised fist)
• Robert Quinn, Rams (raised fist)
• Martellus Bennett, Packers (raised fist)
• Chris Long, Eagles (put his hand on teammate Malcolm Jenkins's shoulder)
• Rodney McLeod, Eagles (put his hand on teammate Malcolm Jenkins's shoulder)
• Justin Britt, Seahawks (put his hand on teammate Michael Bennett's shoulder)
• Thomas Rawls, Seahawks (put his hand on teammate Michael Bennett's shoulder)
• Cliff Avril, Seahawks (sat)
• Frank Clark, Seahawks (sat)
• Johnny Hekker, Rams (embraced teammate Robert Quinn)
• Eric Reid, 49ers (knelt surrounded by teammates)

That's out of nearly 1700 players in the NFL.

Why does the action of any NFL player merit attention and remarks by a POTUS, any POTUS? They don't, especially when the POTUS in question has a same-party Congress and 2/3rds of his way through his first year has zero major legislative agenda items signed in the wake of the following promises:

I will work with Congress to introduce the following broader legislative measures and fight for their passage within the first 100 days of my Administration:

1. Middle Class Tax Relief and Simplification Act
   An economic plan designed to grow the economy 4% per year and create at least 25 million new jobs through massive tax reduction and simplification, in combination with trade reform, regulatory relief and lifting the restrictions on American energy. The largest tax reductions are for the middle class. A middle-class family with two children will get a 35% tax cut. The current number of brackets will be reduced from seven to three, and tax forms will likewise be greatly simplified. The business rate will be lowered from 35% to 15%, and the trillions of dollars of American corporate money overseas can now be brought back at a 10% rate.
   
2. End the Offshoring Act
   Establishes tariffs to discourage companies from laying off their workers in order to relocate in other countries and ship their products back to the U.S. tax-free.
   
3. American Energy and Infrastructure Act
   Leverages public-private partnerships, and private investments through tax incentives, to spur $1 trillion in infrastructure investment over ten years. It is revenue neutral.
   
4. Repeal and Replace Obamacare Act
   Fully repeals Obamacare and replaces it with Health Savings Accounts, the ability to purchase health insurance across state lines and lets states manage Medicaid funds. Reforms will also include cutting the red tape at the FDA: there are over 4,000 drugs awaiting approval, and we especially want to speed the approval of life-saving medications.
5. End Illegal Immigration Act
   Fully-funds the construction of a wall on our southern border with the full understanding that the country of Mexico will be reimbursing the United States for the full cost of such wall; establishes a two-year mandatory minimum federal prison sentence for illegally re-entering the U.S. after a previous deportation, and a five-year mandatory minimum federal prison sentence for illegally re-entering for those with felony convictions, multiple misdemeanor convictions or two or more prior deportations; also reforms visa rules to enhance penalties for overstaying and to ensure open jobs are offered to American workers first.
   • As an aside:
     Why would he even need to work with Congress to "fully fund the construction of a wall on our southern border" when Mexico's supposed to pay for that wall? Wouldn't he need to work with Mexico's Congress and President and not the U.S.' to do that? The U.S. Congress is powerful, but not that powerful.
6. School Choice and Education Opportunity Act
   Redirects education dollars to give parents the right to send their kid to the public, private, charter, magnet, religious or home school of their choice. Ends Common Core and brings education supervision to local communities. It expands vocational and technical education, and makes two- and four year college more affordable.
   
7. [Four other pieces of legislation]

Forget even about signing the legislation. Where is the legislation Trump introduced. I haven't seen one document of Trump-WH written legislation that Trump (or his WHI) in turn delivered to Congress and bid them to pass it. Have you seen any such documents? If so, please do point me to them.

I guess it's a good thing I didn't bet or count on any of those things happening.​

So, while what's going on in the NFL may be a matter that some POTUS has the luxury of making be a topic worthy of the President's purview, this POTUS does not. He's got "bigger fish he needs to fry," and frankly each of them is rotting or is already fully decomposed.

He had no right to say what he did. No right. And to say someone should get fired for a peaceful demonstration. He is a despicable man.

No they should just get fired as T says, what a stupid man.

 

[Penelope]

In all my life I have never seen anyone so deployable as Trump.

Well, the thing is that Kaepernick stood up for what he believes in. Trump doesn't believe in anything other than himself.

 

[Compost]

Once again Penelope offers her impeccable reasoning. Trump exercised his first amendment rights. He is a bad man. Kaepernick exercised his first amendment rights. He is a good man. If you can't see the difference, you are bad too.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

The OP is typical of the left who view someone a hero for kneeling and disrespecting our Anthem and our members of the military who have fought and died for our Constitutional rights.
