    It scares the hell out of me to know that, ultimately, it is this guy deciding whether we go to war or not. Please don't start any wars. Pretty please!!!!

    You're duped by fake news. Educate yourself and don't believe everything the left leaning media puts in your head.

    I thought the discussion was disrespecting the flag and anthem. Kind of hypocritical to single out the players when fans do it all the time.

    Weak response from you.

    Hahah... now the reverse mind game trick of acting insulted by saying "how dare you call me a racist.... you're a racist" nonsense. I know you are but what am I... and I'm the one who is being accused of being in High School? Hilarious.

    If you can't handle a white guy saying he's seen racism all his life in other white people through the way they try to control "their sports" and their sports stars than you my friend are one hell of a snowflake.

    Senile, insane, bat **** crazy dude.

    The players earn their salary, may not agree with their views but dictating their views and then saying they should be forced to play with hits more dangerous to their health is the ****ing slaveholder mentality that Trump and his supporters so vehemently deny.

    Maybe we should just get rid of the National Anthem at sporting events. Doubt that will happen though...IIRC the DoD pays good money to the NFL for that sort of spectacle.

    Or at least (in the NFL) change it so that the anthem is performed before the players come out of the locker room and onto the field.

    If we had a decent, non-petty POTUS and administration (regardless of party) that was wise enough to "stay in his or her lane", then I suspect that the vast majority of players, coaches and sports media journalists and personalities would have no problem "sticking to sports" both on air and on social media. But no...we have a bigoted narcissistic con artist that has the maturity and intellect of a 3rd grader. Not to mention a troll...I suspect part of the intent behind Trump's NFL and Steph Curry comments was to distract media and public attention away from the Russia thing...which was starting to heat back up in recent days.

    Anyway, I too expect to see many more players (and not just black players) kneeling tomorrow.
