That's your stance, yes or no?

Yes, my stance is just that. They hate Trump, and went at him like a rabid animal. No surprise there.

Maybe you're not getting what some of us are saying.
Let me break it down for you...
Are the players within their right to kneel? Yes
Is it a wise move? No
Did it tick off fans? Yes
Was it wide spread before 9/21? No
Did the PotUS NEED to say anything? No
Did he choose to? Yes
Were those comments (spoken and tweeted) inflammatory? Yes
Was the kneeling and protesting more after the comments? Yes
Now when trying to assert blame there's PLENTY to go around.
You're more than welcome to stick out your chest and point a finger at the players saying they were (morally) wrong in taking a knee during the anthem.
I would tend to agree.
However, to say the remarks made by Trump had ZERO affect on the situation is 100% provably wrong and stinks to high heaven of willful, fanboy ignorance.
It's the same mentality of people who thought Obama was never wrong when he clearly was and was called out for it.
Let the spin cycle of deflecting these facts begin.

Damn that's a lot of disjointed BS. I don't want to break it down, because to me it's meaningless. We're pissed because the NFL shit the bed. That's it.
