They aren’t news networks. They are NFL “partners”. You want to carry football next time around? You’ll defend us when we do something stupid.

Oh, no, of course not. You're just saying that anyone who disagrees with you is wrong.

Pretending that "your guy" can't do any wrong here is your downfall. You're very obviously in his camp even if you can't admit it to yourself.

You've chosen sides based not on facts, not on reality, but on your beliefs. Please, I implore you, return to the real world.
Oh kay. Well then there it is. The NFL meltdown is Trump's fault. OK, we'll just go with that falsehood for the moment and see where it takes us.

I don't see anyone here saying, mein Trump, right or wrong. Just recently, Trump basically OK'ed the teams that chose to link arms rather than put their hands on their hearts, as they have done since they were in the pee wee leagues. I don't think most people upset by the whole debacle agree with that. I don't. Close only counts in hand grenades and horseshoes. People accept that they aren't going to agree with their leader on everything. all the time.

Another flaw in your argument: the Alabama {(R) primary. Trump endorsed Sessions' establishment candidate, yet Trump's own people and supporters stumped for, and eventually defeated that establishment Pub. This literally just happened.

You do realize, at this point, that I've made no predictions beyond pain for the NFL. Meanwhile, you've said that Trump made it 1000% percent worse. OK. Trump made it worse. So? Think about this for a few minutes.

I'm not surprised at all that Moore won. He's who I would have voted for. Trump gave a very half-hearted endorsement of Strange. Does anyone think Trump will be upset if McConnell or Ryan doesn't get their preferred candidate?

Waco, at this point we're just sorta sick of the shit. We're hoping things like Hillary going to jail happens, but if not oh well, we tried. We're not holding out for a full on conversion of brainwashed millennials right away, but it's a possibility if we are living in the right timeline. Just hoping for the right timeline.

Some Trump supporters, particularly vets, were upset with Trump when he went after Khizzr Khan and his mute wife, reasoning that Gold Star families are off limits, regardless of the lies they tell on a national stage. That didn't stop them from supporting Trump when it came down to it.

Edit: I'm trying to figure out just what Sessions has done these last 6 months. Seems like a whole lot of nothing, other than a renewed emphasis in busting kiddy diddlers, other than (in)famous ones. Weiner is a notable exception, thus far.

Two, could you at least spend a few seconds detailing accusations before you just announce that "this is a lie"?
Three, pretending that Sessions has done nothing to influence the course of our nation in the past months is disingenuous at best and dishonest at worst.
1) Spelling mistake not intentional, I just didn't care enough to make sure I spelled his name correctly, because I don't feel like he's deserving of that respect. He burned all the capital of his dead hero son when he, well, on to #2.

2) "If it was up to Donald Trump, he never would have been in America." Uh, last time I checked, Trump did not call for, and hasn't tried to deport American citizens born to naturalized citizen parents. I don't really want to parse the rest of his speech, because I'm going to bed, but let's just say the taqiyya (sp) is strong in that one. Listen for yourself....starts about 6 minutes in.


3) I'm not a fan of Sessions, but probably not for the same reasons you don't like him.

Default Here's An Idea...

Since all of these professional athletes, coaches and executives are apparently so very concerned about the plight of their black brethren, I propose that a challenge should be issued to them, on a national level, that anyone kneeling, sitting or otherwise doing anything that could be considered disrespectful to the American Flag and the National Anthem be willing to donate 10-15% of their salary to various charities that actually help the inner cities with programs and investments to help improve the lives of the people who live there. And I'm not talking about ripoff organizations that are spoon-fed by George Soros like ACORN, The Rainbow Coalition or Operation Push. I'm talking legitimate, standing organizations that have a record of helping.

The church calls it tithing. I call it putting your money where your mouth is.

Of course, this will never happen because:

1) There really is no such reputable organization so the money would likely be squandered.
2) When you scape away the sugar coating, these people really aren't interested at all about the plight of blacks.

At the end of their games, athletes like Colin Kaepernick and LeBron James don't go home to the inner city. They go home to houses in high-end neighborhoods living right next door to whitey. Yep...the very same people they're shitting on in public.

There was nothing dishonest about my response. I simply stated that I don't care whether you think I'm right or wrong. I refuse to allow you to bait me into a 3 hour back and forth because whether or not you feel that my point is valid without some sort of supporting documentation at hand isn't important to me. I've read what I've read, I know what I know, it works for me, and that's good enough. If it doesn't work for you, that's your business.

Some people are never convinced of the truth, no matter how much evidence is piled in front of them.

well... well... well (again).

This disrespect has been happening in NFL for over a year, and then just one week after the Prez talks about it... it is starting to wind down:

Quote:
BOSTON (CBS) — Just one week after many members of the Patriots kneeled during the national anthem, a new report indicates that they will all stand together as a team next time out.

A league source told CSNNE’s Gary Tanguay on Tuesday that all Patriots players will stand during the national anthem before next Sunday’s game against the Carolina Panthers at Gillette Stadium. Many stood and interlocked their arms during the anthem last Sunday before the game against the Texans, while a large portion kneeled.
and the major news outlets - not only tried to change the facts (to where there were no issues before the President commented) - but tried to convince us that due to the President speaking out... things would only get worse.

Without the President saying something 10 days ago; the anthem/flag disrespect would still be happening during NFL games; getting worse by the week.

Too late now on the "effort". Typical lib mentality only apologize after you show your true colors and find out it was the wrong thing to go from the get-go.
This part time Pats fan has gone full time not caring what they do now.Last Sunday yard work,this Sunday the Deerfield Fair next week Grass Drags.And so on and so on...
