Crybaby in chief urging NFL owners to be as thin skinned as he is
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/09/22/trump-to-nfl-owners-fire-players-who-dont-stand-for-the-national-anthem/amp/ President Trump today called on NFL owners to cut any players who don’t stand for the national anthem, the strongest statement yet from the president about the anthem protests that began last year with Colin Kaepernick and have since grown to include players on several teams. President Trump today called on NFL owners to cut any players who don’t stand for the national anthem, the strongest statement yet from the president about the anthem protests that began last year with Colin Kaepernick and have since grown to include players on several teams. “We’re proud of our country. We respect our flag,” Trump said to loud applause at a campaign event in Alabama. “Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, ‘Get that son of a bitch off the field right now’? He’s fired! He’s fired!” Trump said an NFL owner who releases a player would instantly gain broad support across America. “Some owner’s gonna do that. He’s gonna say, ‘That guy that disrespects our flag? He’s fired. And that owner . . . they’ll be the most popular person in this country. Because that’s total disrespect of our heritage. That’s total disrespect of everything we stand for,” Trump said. Trump added that he believes fans should walk out if players don’t stand for the anthem. “If you see it, even if it’s one player,” Trump said, “Leave the stadium.” Obama couldn't even make honest observations about Fox News without conservative bitching (can you make imagine if Obama suggested the bruins fire Joe Thomas for supporting the TEA party?)...what do they say about a president urging a private entity to punish its employees for exercising their free speech? --- No one gets in the way of my frisbee games!

Tell me again how trump doesn't pander to the alt right...because I guaran-damn-tee he ain't bringing up firing NFL activists if his rally had even a hint of a minority presence.
He's appealing to people who want black people to sit down and shut up...and those people are overwhelmingly white, so... --- No one gets in the way of my frisbee games! NO ONE! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Good thing the NFL isn't actually a part of the government and is a private organization (technically considered a trade association and no longer a non-profit organization apparently). They can do what they want so long as they don't break the law, just like any normal citizen.

Freedom, safety, liberty, peace, sacrifice etc. The flag represents the ability to criticize the government without being suppressed. That's a major thing. "Disrespecting" the flag is a representation of that very power. Punishing people for such gestures is what's un-American. The day you can't even criticize the government symbolically without having the hammer fall on you is the day this country's principles rot and drop off. --- The owls are not what they seem. ...
