Trump Destroys NFL And Owners For Their Idiotic Decision




The NFL is dying right now.

This is an organization that has alienated a lot of their fans with their blatant disrespect for the United States and what it represents.

And now the NFL and the owners’ recent decision shows just how incompetent they truly are.

NFL players, owners, and commissioner Roger Goodell had many meetings about the ongoing anthem protests.

After Jerry Jones reportedly told his Dallas Cowboys players they wouldn’t play if they continued to sit for the anthem, it seemed like there was progress being made.

But that was short-lived obviously because now the league is allowing these players to protest during the anthem.

USA Today reported:

“After a series of meetings devoted to social injustice protests that have swept the league, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell doubled down on his stance regarding players’ demonstrations during the pregame playing of the national anthem.

The league wants players to stand for the anthem, Goodell said, but it won’t be forcing them with any rule change.

“We just had two days of conversations with our owners of which this was a fair amount of the conversation and I think our clubs all see this the same way,” Goodell said Wednesday at the conclusion of the league’s fall meetings.

“We want our players to stand. We’re going to continue to encourage them to stand. And we’re going to continue to work on these issues within the community.

“I can’t deal with hypotheticals right now. We’ll deal with these issues as they come up, but for right now, that’s our focus.”

Goodell’s statement came one week after Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said that he would bench a player who was seen “being disrespectful to the flag.”

New York Giants co-owner John Mara said that there was no vote regarding a policy change to anthem procedure.

“There was conversation,” Mara said, “but the policy is not going to change.”

On Tuesday, the NFL hosted a meeting featuring league executives, NFL Players Association representatives, players and franchise owners in which all sides had a platform to express their viewpoints regarding the social issues affecting communities, as well as the measures players are taking to raise awareness.

Goodell later said that he wants the league “to stay out of politics” and that the league’s goal was “to put that at zero” in terms of the number of protesters.

“But we want to make sure we are understanding what the players are talking about, and that’s complex,” Goodell added, before acknowledging that the NFL has been in contact with the league’s sponsors over the protests.

No, Goodell, it’s the players that don’t understand what the American Flag and National Anthem are about.

And what’s even worse than that is that these players don’t even have a concise articulate reason as to why they’re protesting against our flag.

But President Trump destroyed the NFL on Twitter when he heard this news.

The NFL has decided that it will not force players to stand for the playing of our National Anthem. Total disrespect for our great country!

.@NFL: Too much talk, not enough action. Stand for the National Anthem.

Looks like there’s no end in sight for the anthem protests, which means the NFL is okay with more declining ratings.

The NFLs 32 teams make up several billion dollars of the US economy, not just players and owners but tens of thousands of venders, small business owners, merchandisers, people in transportation and the broadcast and advertising industry depend on this industry to feed their families. When the orange buffoon decided to make a peaceful and respectful demonstration against police brutality a political issue he attacked the livelihoods of all of these people. And he did so for no other reason than to throw red meat to the hate filled racists that make up his support base.

Cops refuse security at NFL game, so they take a pay cut as well.

All those that depend on the NFL stop doing business with them change will happen.

How exactly does a guy running a sports bar or a cab driver or hot dog vender stop doing business with the NFL? Only an idiot would give up their livelihood because they don’t like how someone listens to a song.

If sports bar shut down the game in the bar,
cab drivers refuse to take anyone to the game,
vendor not open at the stadium.
Yes, they would suffer for awhile.
How long do you think it would take for this BS to stop?

Kevyn

b It will stop when the issue of police brutality focused on black Americans is honestly addressed and bad cops are held accountable.

Quit spouting off your BS, Kevyn!
America is a country made up of hundreds of millions of people.
It's the freest, most prosperous, #1 superpower in the history of planet earth!
It has a capitalist economic system which has done more to raise the standard of living for more people, than any other system ever devised in history. That's why the tired, poor teeming masses of oppressed people see out America as a beacon of hope!
Is it perfect? Nope. Because ultimately it is made up of people, who are imperfect themselves. So it will never be perfect.
But it's still the last best hope for man on earth.

The NFL protest isn't about so-called police brutality. It's about left wing crybaby-athletes wanting a platform to showcase their rant. And as a responsible adult, Trump tells them, that they shouldn't be allowed to do so because it's disrespectful to the country. It's the equivalent of telling a spoiled child, 'go to your room.'

Trump, as the only adult in the lefty dominated sports world is going to win this one - too!

You may have been a sports hero, Colin. Those days are over! You lose! And so do those who choose to follow you. And another one bites the dust!

Kevyn:

It is time for you and some NFL football kneelers to ride along with some police officers who work in
dangerous areas. I would love to see your reaction to the incidents that these police officers go through
EVERY shift.

Your introduction to the REAL world would be mind-blowing!
