NFL owners all but agreed they were blackballing Colin Kaepernick to appease President Donald Trump, according to newly released audio recordings.

...

Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie told Long that fighting for social justice was not about one person, and New England Patriots owner Robert Craft a longtime Trump supporter complained this kneeling was another elephant in the room.

The problem we have is, we have a president who will use that as fodder to do his mission that I dont feel is in the best interests of America, Kraft said. Its divisive and its horrible.

Owners were deeply concerned about the presidents criticism, saying his Twitter attacks had turned many fans against the NFL.

Weve got to be careful not to be baited by Trump or whomever else, said Lurie, who called Trumps presidency disastrous. We have to find a way to not be divided and not get baited.

Buffalo Bills owner Terry Pegula was terrified that Trump would keep up the attacks.

All Donald needs to do is to start to do this again, Pegula said. We need some kind of immediate plan because of whats going on in society. All of us now, we need to put a Band-Aid on whats going on in the country.

So we literally have president using his platform to silence protest. Funny how the same people who defend Nazis burning swastikas and then complain about the anti-protesters. Don't have an issue with the president stopping someone from using his first amendment right.

I like how all these stories that mention Kaep making it to the Super Bowl just forget to name drop Jim Harbaugh.

President Trump is an American, and being an American gives him the freedom to reply back to protestors: he can laugh at them, mock them, or call them out all he wants. Same as every other American out there. Freedom to protest does not mean freedom from its consequences.


One he literally uses his power as president to do this. And Next funny how he calls Nazis fine people , and peaceful protester sons of bitches.

But you support a guy who lets people die of dehydration because they have not had water in days .
