NFL’s Major Sponsor Ford Supports National Anthem Protest, Says That Trump’s Behavior Is…

I am looking to be deported.....American born...wanna help?

 

[ptbw forever]

NFL players on practically every team exhibited some kind of protesting and lack of respect for our military men and ladies, joining against President Trump and our country.

These NFL tycoons seem to be very satisfied with themselves for their shameful conduct.

We are even stunned by some who are supporting this idiotic protest.

Ford Motors expressed that they are supporting the boycott of the national anthem.

Ford is a noteworthy sponsor of the National Football League.


Ford Motor Co., an important sponsor of the National Football League, openly supported all players who are protesting and are criticizing President Trump’s behavior.

“We respect individuals’ rights to express their views, even if they are not ones we share,”

Ford expressed in a statement.

“That’s part of what makes America great.”

Guess repugs will all stop driving their Ford pickups now.

Definitely makes me rethink my upcoming purchase of a new Raptor...

So are there any ideologically pure car makers out there? GM is out. Now Ford. Chrysler is Italian now. Y'all gotta walk now.

Or Conservatives can wake up and realize that the entirety of America must be started over.

There are no longer any corporations that are even remotely conservative. Burn them all down.

The belief that somehow Walmart, Dunkin Donuts, Ford etc are on the "other side" of lunatics running the Starbucks, the Googles etc is grossly ignorant.

C'mon sassy.....you know you hate people like me...

Don't start, you're annoying and dangerously close to being shipped to ignore

There are better avenues to air grievances.

This one seems to work the best so far.

That is Ford's right and if people decide they don't want to buy Ford cars or trucks over this decision that is their right. If NFL players want to take a knee during the national anthem as a form of protest that is their right if people want to boycott the NFL as form of protest over that that is their right. Everyone has the right to protest not just those we support a lot of people seem to have a hard time grasping this.

Not sure why so many conservatives have a tough time understanding this.

Please explain how disrespecting our flag and national anthem "makes America great." Do you feel the same way about burning the flag or pissing on it? If not, please help us "understand" your distinction.

Explain how kneeling silently is disrespectful to our flag.

Looks like I am going to have to burn my Ford Truck

 

[LoneLaugher]

We're shopping for a full size SUV...it won't be a Ford now.

They'd been better off just staying neutral

Yeah. That's how America was born. Good call.

Or conservatives can wake up, stop crying and realize the America has left your regressive and dopey views in the past where they belong.

I'm not sure why loons have a tough time understanding this

Yeah. Avenues where you never travel and don't have to hear or see them. Too bad.

 

[Mac1958]

Not sure why so many conservatives have a tough time understanding this.

Yep. And unfortunately, this behavior has infected both ends. Just drop by your local campus.

At some point, we became so narcissistic and intolerant and incurious that we just can't handle opposing views any more.

When did that happen?

There you go again. You have no clue about what goes on at your local campus. Free speech flourishes there. Go check it out.

And who are you talking about? Every person here OBVIOUSLY handles opposing views just fine. Except those who put people in iggy, that is.

They support the players' right to protest. The protest last weekend was against Trump and I support it 100%. I will personally kneel when I see the flag and the Anthem.

What are you like 12? I disliked Obama and most of what he did, but I would never disrespect our great troops. Because of that piece of shit.

So instead of objecting to police brutality, people should should shut up and 'handle' it?

Goddam that's funny

The issue isn't them expressing their opinions. No one is stopping them from doing it, (so far). The issue is people are sick of politics being shoved into every single little corner of their lives. The issue is these guy's viewpoints are being blasted by every media outlet out there, and they did nothing to earn this extra attention besides being really good at throwing a football, catching a football, running with a football, tacking a guy or a blocking a guy. It is the sense of an undeserved platform that probably pisses people off.
