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

[NYcarbineer]

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?
.

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

Goddam that's funny

And the King of the Straw Man drops in.

Right on cue. Again.
.

You're very fast at denying what you said. That's goddam funny too.

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.

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

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

If that we're true; we wouldn't be having this conversation...

There are better avenues to air grievances.

This one seems to work the best so far.

Yep. Good point. We can't just let something go, we have to go nuts instead. Drawing more attention to it.

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.

The fact that this puts it in your face is exactly why it's effective.

 

[Aldo Raine]

The whole issue boils down to the feelings of certain people. They feel bad if someone is doing something they don't approve of and they DO want to force these people to shut up.

Sorry snowflakes you live in America, you aren't forcing anyone to do anything. Neither is the orange-turd. You are free to exercise your 1st amendment right to bitch about it, but that's it. Actually it will be good practice for the annual upcoming 'war on Christmas'. You need to exercise your lungs and typing finger to get ready to be outraged that the image of Santa's sleigh on Starbuck's coffee cups doesn't include bells on the reindeer. And everyone knows bells are what Jesus was about.

Snowflakes?

Exactly. We can't just let racial injustice go. We will draw more attention to it. You nailed it.

it's out there, however to be effective it has to get people to go over to supporting it, and mostly people are not.

What happened in Green Bay last night is an example.

That was the basis for the protest.

I still can't get over how funny it is to see the RWnuts have to completely flip flop from their fanatical support and approval of the WHITE SUPREMACIST protests over the statues

to wholly condemning these protests in every way possible.

You can thank your president for that.

That can't be the full statement and that link doesn't have or link to it either. What is the full thing?

Keep in mind that Macmuffin said that the peaceful protests over the killing by police of Eric Garner were to BLAME for 2 policemen getting killed.

Because Trump stirred up his followers.

 

[Flash]

The NFL owners met for two friggin hours yesterday and couldn't figure out how to show respect to the country that made them all rich. Cowardly bastards.

Piss on the NFL. The entertainment isn't worth watching anymore.

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,”

Nice words, but Ford doesn't put it into practice.

While Ford demands the players' views while disrespecting the President's right to his views, which by the way reflects the views of a reported 58% of the American people. He has every right to exercise his Constitutional Rights just as much as the players do. (He should not, IMO, have called them SOBs, though - very un-Presidential.)

Trump did not say the players could not kneel down during the National Anthem. He gave his views and called on (asked) NFL owners to do something to stop the disrespecting of the National Anthem.

Players got pi$$ed at what Trump said, so they decided to unify to send a message to the President by conducting a league-wide 'kneel-down- protest. They were not smart enough to think it through, and in the end all they did was pi$$ off even more fans, pouring fuel on the fire. The backlash, it appears, was totally unexpected.

They got the message, though. Last night the Packers and Bears linked arms and stood for the Anthem. Many NFL teams are publicly declaring they will do the same this week.

KUDOS to Jerry Jones and the Cowboys for showing the rest of the NFL that you can protest without disrespecting the National Anthem, as they took a knee BEFORE the national Anthem then stood DURING the Anthem last game. Several teams have declared they will do that this week.

But Ford tried to send a message that everyone has a right to exercise their Right of Freedom of Speech to express their views...and seemingly stated that does not apply to the President while doing so.

Again, while not in the most polished way, the President exercised that right and voiced his opinion of the disrespect NFL players paid to the National Anthem, and in doing so he reflected the views and the anger of a majority of Americans.

We expect politics from our president, and we expect blowhard-ness from this one.

People watching a football game don't want it.

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.

Yeah free speech. Lol, you're an idiot.

You do know a black man is more likely to be hit by lightning, than to be killed by police? This protest is based on a lie, but so is liberalism.
