there you have it: "no, you apologize first Trump" not going to happen. he didn't nothing wrong, it's your players that are not respecting the anthem and flag.
right.

The news is trying their best to slant this as if everything was fine & dandy until Trump spoke out. No, it wasn't fine... going all the way back to when Kaepernick wouldn't stand for the anthem. The consumers of the NFL product waited... and waited... for the Commissioner to uphold the clauses within the players contracts forbidding such displays while on the clock. It didn't happen, and of course the disrespect got worse.

Lets never forget who started this, and never forget the attempted re-write being done by the news media.

Trump's a racist, say self-proclaimed 'objective' media outlets, experts | Fox News

O shit i knew the race card would come into play. When you get assholes as dumb as most of the NFL &MSM it was going to appear. The surprising thing is it took that long.

And like usual most thinking Americans will laugh at their idiocy!

aside from contract terms, do what is right. respect the flag you play under the anthem attached to it. stand like a man, not a defeated warrior begging for your life from Caesar.

want to take the politics out of it? easy.

stand like you have been doing for many years, when no political baggage was attached to the nat'l anthem. we all stand for it. no matter who you voted for and no matter who is in office. it doesn't belong to one party or to one set of ideas about who should be taxed, it belongs to all of us.

Goodell is an idiot. and a coward.

If the NFL fired Goodell, it's possible to bring back the people who have, and will continue, to say bye bye to the NFL. Only if the new commissioner comes in guns blazing against politicizing the league.

I just saw that.

DirecTV Allows Some NFL Refunds After Anthem Controversy.

Satellite broadcaster will let at least some customers get refunds to its Sunday Ticket package of NFL games if they cite players’ national anthem protests.

How long before the whiners start calling Trump a "doody head"?

Funny how these spoiled little brats resort to name calling when they don't get their way.

biggrin

I bought my nephew a Steelers floor mat earlier this year and was gonna give it to him for a Xmas present.

I just threw it in the trash bag to go out with Thursdays trash. It will serve a better purpose in a TX landfill...beside we currently are in a burn ban due to not getting any rain in the last 30 days. So I can't burn it right now.


Or I could get some red paint and put a big Ghost Buster ban symbol on it....

any other suggestions?

The media will invent about 15 more crises before Christmas. Get the kid a jersey with the name of the guy who didn't stay in the locker room to go with the floor mat.

That's the problem with full-auto guns. They eat ammo like it's going out of style and are so fun to shoot you can't help it.

he brought it out at the last match, showed it off, then asked a 14 year old kid if he wanted to shoot it. YES! kid takes it and asks "what do i do?" "pull the trigger!!"

he ran it with the silencer on it. the timer could not detect the shots.

then he took it off, and ran 2-3 shot bursts. the timer could not tell 2 shots were fired, they were so quick.

I'd like to think he had pressure to recant. Why would a previous West Point grad and former Ranger do so otherwise?

My first time ever at a shooting range my dad's brother asked me if I wanted to shoot a "real gun". OK, I'd already done pretty good shooting skeet. He gave me a full-auto M16, put it on full auto, and got me set up. Flipped the safety off, and said squeeze. The entire mag was empty before I knew it. I was 13 or so.
