Trump Wrong as Usual: Unwarranted Attack on NFL Players

[C_Clayton_Jones]

‘NFL commissioner Roger Goodell fired back at President Trump on Saturday for encouraging league owners to remove players who take a knee during the national anthem, saying Trump’s “divisive comments” show “an unfortunate lack of respect for the NFL.”’

NFL's Goodell: Trump's 'divisive comments' show a 'lack of respect'

Trump also exhibits a lack of respect for free expression and his contempt for dissent.

Ohhhh but the players are showing respect. For what, exactly.

Fans were deserting the sport before the players decided to exercise their own brand of divisiveness. The public has their own message. Shut up and play. No one spends $200.00 for a ticket to watch black power. Taking the knee is the same as mooning the stands and the cameras. Don't piss disrespect on Americans then tell them it's raining.

The NFL is shooting itself in the proverbial foot....let them suffer

Goodell spewed then called up his cronies to see if they have found the reason ratings are in the toilet.

He exhibits the ongoing hypocrisy of the right wing. They whine like banshees, or Ann Coulter, if students at Berkeley show up to protest them and cry it is denying free speech, but the second a con sees someone exercising THEIR free speech they move to have them silenced.

What happened to that well worn claim by the RWnuts that protests are perfectly fine as long as they're not violent????

Trump is helping the NFL by giving them good advice. The league shouldn't let players do their political speeches during the game or in uniform.

I am not a big football fan, but am a UFC and boxing fan. I like football fans watch the event to escape for the length of the event and what these players are doing is reminding people of their problems which defeats the purpose of watching.

Look at it this way, Hazel. Using the right to free speech to show disrespect to the flag and the country is akin to cursing God in church.

As much as the OP hates this nation....you'd think he'd do himself a great favor.......

And LEAVE

But no....he wants to "transform" this land, and once devastated. find another to do the same

This idea that citizens in various occupations aren't free to be citizens is ludicrous. It's the same argument for actors "I just want to be entertained, they should shut up". They're real people with opinions. Just like everyone else. If the NFL wants to take action they will. They also have a fan base that supports the protests so they take that into consideration as well.

This meme that 'anyone entertaining me has no personal opinion and that's that' is just fantasy. They do.

You actually confuse 'god' with a secular symbol? That says a lot about how you view your 'god' now doesn't it.

Protesting is one thing. Assault is another. You're defending thugs who resort to violence. Of course, you're too fucking stupid to see the difference.

THey can protest all they like, and I can stay home or turn the channel. I have no desire to watch that shit. If the NFL doesn't want to swirl down the toilet, they best do what their fans want, not coddle a bunch of whiny players.

You dumbass snowflakes seem to believe that the fans are required to pay for this shit. They aren't. They pay to watch a football game, not some insolent BLM militant expressing his contempt for America.

All citizens have freedom of speech. An employee doesn't have the same rights on the clock that someone off the clock has. If you want to say whatever you want on the clock then you need to start your own business.

A performer has freedom of speech, but they are in a different category especially if they are well known. The Rock for instance has a public image and can say whatever he wants, but if what he says goes against his image and people start not going to his movies is HBO or Universal not free to not do business with him anymore?

Was WWE not free to stop using Hulk Hogan after his issues?

The NFL is free to do what it likes then as well. Case closed.

The problem is, they also have a fan base that doesn't want to see that shit. Pissing off half your fans isn't a wise business decision.
