The NFL is a business, a money game and that's it. Once the NFL admits to themselves that these players kneeling, holding hands etc during the anthem are the ones putting the hurt on their money game they will do something about it. Right now they are in denial.

Trump with his remarks must scare the living shit out of them and they may now wake up to it. Having a sitting president tell people to stand up and walk out of the stadium must be horrifying to them. The people who voted for Trump are also the core audience who watch these games.

Given Trump is good friends with many of the NFL owners this must have raised a eyebrow or two with them as well.
Trump is not afraid to stick his thumb in the eye of friend or foe when he sees something wrong.

There are still a lot of good people in the NFL. It's not a homogeneous mass of thugs, like a lot of people try to make it out to be.

This will be fixed.

It's refreshing when someone has the balls to tell the truth. I lack tact too so Trump is inspirational in his straight forward approach.

Plus Trump can talk to the owners as an equal.

This is great. Unlike previous inhabitants of the Oval Office Trump isn't impressed with celebrity because he's one himself.

Pardon my French, but FUCK YOU Roger Goodell. YOU could have nipped ALL OF THIS nonsense in the bud, but you chose to do nothing.




NFL's Goodell: Trump's 'divisive comments' show a 'lack of respect'

Smith is a POS. I met him last year before the election. I thought he would be talking about contracts, Brady appeal, or concussions. Everything was about Hillary. Now he's talking about constitutional rights. Nobody has constitutional rights in the workplace. For this he gets paid close to $3million per year.

OMG, I love it. This guy couldn't have sounded more clueless if he had tried. For him to yammer about "divisiveness" in the face of the bullshit being pulled by these spoiled brat players, tells me that the guy hasn't a single clue as to how all of this is being perceived by the American public.

Say somethin' else, Rog! You're helping. Really, you are.

Who is Smith?

Goodell:

“The NFL and our players are at our best when we help create a sense of unity in our country and our culture,”

That is true, but what does that have to do with NFL players not standing for the anthem ?

Goodell did blow this right at the start. He should have given Kaepernick the choice of stand or not wear an NFL uniform. It is much harder to control now.

If the owners were really hard ass, they would explain to the 1,700 NFL players that there are a lot of people willing to play football for a 1 to 2 million salary (and higher).

Perhaps. But holding your breath would be imprudent.

"Trump’s “divisive comments” show “an unfortunate lack of respect for the NFL.”"

Nice to see the President and I are on the same wavelength. The NFL has earned my lack of respect.

Smith was referenced in links that have just been posted. He is head of the NFL players union and he wasted no time to attack Trump after the "you're fired" comment.

He's been a Hillary man since the beginning.

I heard rumors Goodell was about to sign an extension, but this is about to get fun. It will be interesting to see if he still had a job at the end of this.

We can expect more players to protest tomorrow, so I hope the President keeps pushing the walk out.

Trump is playing them for fools. The majority of Americans agree that showboat anti-flag/national anthem protests are shameful and have no place on the field or court. Because Trump comes out against it, the athletes and even management will double down, further alienating average Americans. They just can't help themselves. The President knows this.

They're playing checkers and he's playing 3D chess

President Trump sent another belligerent tweet directed at North Korea Saturday night, saying that if the country's foreign minister was speaking for North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in his threatening speech at the United Nations, "they won't be around much longer."

"Just heard Foreign Minister of North Korea speak at U.N.," Trump tweeted. "If he echoes thoughts of Little Rocket Man, they won't be around much longer!"

The president was referring to a speech by North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Yong-ho, earlier Saturday in which he called Trump “a mentally deranged person full of megalomania” who is holding “the nuclear button.”


Ri said by repeatedly calling Kim "Rocket Man," Trump is making "our rocket’s visit to the entire U.S. mainland inevitable all the more."

The foreign minister also said Trump is a "gambler who grew old using threats, frauds and all other schemes to acquire a patch of land." Ri jumped into the nickname game as well, saying Americans call Trump the "Commander in Grief," "Lyin' King," and "President Evil."

Trump has turned the White House "into a noisy marketing place" and is making the U.N. "a gangsters’ nest where money is respected and bloodshed is the order of the day," Ri added.

In North Korea, a huge gathered Saturday in Pyongyang’s Kim Il Sung Square for a large anti-U.S. rally. A parade of marchers carried signs with slogans such as “decisive revenge” and “death to the American imperialists.” They shouted phrases such as “total destruction,” according to the Korean Central News Agency, the state news service.

U.S. Air Force B-1B bombers and F-15 jets carried out a show of force Saturday off the coast of North Korea. It was the farthest point north of the Demilitarized Zone, which separates North and South Korea, that any U.S. fighter or bomber aircraft has flown in the 21st century.

Trump has been engaged in an escalating war of words with North Korea and its leader over the communist nation's accelerating nuclear weapons program and its threat to attack the U.S. and its neighbors.

Last week, Trump said, "Rocket Man is on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime" and threatened to "totally destroy" North Korea. Kim responded by calling Trump a "frightened dog" and a "mentally deranged U.S. dotard."

She is full of bitterness, jealousy and envy. Such is all consuming on a personal basis.
She is in prison without going to jail.
That's poetic justice.

Does she not realize she’s helping Trump win again in 2020?
