Of all the horrible things Rump has done, championing a stance that makes lebald, kebo, bish Paul and literally the entire lol stealers team easily the good guys I have to side with might be the worst

I'm also in the camp that this stunt is to prevent having some of their players kneeling during the anthem.

Glad that Trump is concerning himself with ****ing NFL players and silent protest.

No need for him to do some real work and maybe see if Puerto Rico could use some help...

NFL teams were in the lockerroom for the anthem till 2009. They're only out there b/c gov't pays them.

lol how many time were the Obama's on ESPN for ridiculous segments? How many presidents have thrown out first pitches at baseball games and associated themselves with sports?

Of everything you can get upset about in regards to Trumps statement, this is the most lolbiased

Not what I said, again.

I said geting pissed because trump is concerning himself with the NFL is just lol. Get pissed at what he said, fine, whatever. Presidents have injected themselves into sports for a long time, so getting specifically pissed about him concerning himself with sports is stupid

Yeah exactly Trump telling people to boycott a sports league is just like GWB throwing out a first pitch, you really nailed it

reading comprehension FTW

heh was not pissed about what he said, he was pissed he wasn't concerned about Puerto Rico/doing real work and instead concerning himself with the protests. Which, in the sense of what he was pissed at (and what I laughed at) is that he was pissed about the exact same action-presidents having an action that is related to sports instead of what their job is-that has been done by every single president in recent memory. I did not comment on what the statement was, but you can keep assuming I did.

TRUMP is a racist blabbermouth that should be on a reality show versus running the USA.

Glad random white guys from the South can try to set black athletes straight about how they should feel.

lol dude you're essentially agreeing with me, this is the point I was making.

You're so blinded by the assumption of what I said that you're countering with an argument that is my exact argument-heh is looking so hard for a reason to hate Trump that he literally argued that Trump shouldn't be concerning himself with sports when every other recent president has done the same thing.

Not once did I defend Trumps comments or imply they were defend-able. But to say that he should focus on something else that wasn't sports is just laughable and looking for a reason to hate. There are so many better reasons to bash him that aren't as misguided and clearly biased.
