Bradshaw has the IQ of a tree stump.

“I’m not sure our president understands that freedom.”

Okay Bradshaw. Do you fly around in your own 757, or Air Force One, or head a billions of dollars empire?

And you talk about what Trump cannot understand?

Trump can understand the difference between legitimate protest and giving the entire nation the middle finger. You evidently cannot.

You use to be my neighbor down in Louisiana. You just sold out. Were you cheap?

What Trump wished to accomplish with his frantic Friday night vitriol was to entice every NFL player...

This character fancies himself as some sort of mind reader who perceives precisely the motives of any and everyone, just one presumptuous statement after another.

And the Steelers took the cowards way out of the controversy, nothing at all eloquent about that.

Now, why do you want to go and insult tree stumps?

Won’t be long before this virus infects college sports when the anthem is played. The end result will be somewhere along the line the tradition of playing the anthem before sporting events will be jettisoned so college administrators and team owners can slither away from the issue and not get caught in the midst of declining attendance of their predominately white male audience and black athletes who choose to spit in the face of those who come to see them play.

The rest of the Steelers chose a unique protest in response to Donald Trump’s unprovoked verbal assault on their rights, as American citizens, to protest whatever injustices they might perceive. They remained in their locker room until it was time to begin the game.

They HID in the locker room. Hiding is not a "unique protest", as the author puts it. The only way they could have made this worse for their image is to send John Podesta out to make a speech on their behalf.

In the meanwhile, the Philadelphia Eagles all stood for the American flag.

mostly rich, black, millionaire, men protesting inequality to a viewership of mostly white, blue collar, working class poorer men.

Anyone else see how pathetic, and hypocritical this is?

God bless Alejandro Villanueva, the only true Patriot out there today.
I teared up when saw him standing there, all 6’9 330 pounds of him! While the rest of his pansy ass teammates were stomping their feet in the locker room & changing their diapers, this guy showed more heart/soul & balls than anyone in the NFL.

“People died for freedom,” Steelers Hall of Famer Terry Bradshaw said on Fox’s “NFL Sunday.”

“I’m not sure our president understands that freedom.”
Says the man who is recognized as the dumbest mother F%^ker in sports so it is not surprising he thinks Trump doesn’t understand something more complicated than a run play.

How’s this: Teams show no respect for the country that enabled them to become millionaires and I withdraw my support of them and their sponsors. As I posted earlier, every college football player hoping for a career in the NFL can thank today’s players for lower salaries and bonuses which will be the result of lower franchise revenue.

Bradshaw may well be a victim of CTE.

I think you're correct.

Bradshaw has always been mentally impaired. In 1979 Hollywood Henderson said "Bradshaw was so dumb “he couldn’t spell ‘cat’ if you spotted him the c-a.”

Bradshaw’s response: “This isn’t nuclear physics, it’s a game. How smart do you have to be?”

Who did they play and who won? Did the opposing team stand for the National Anthem? I read the guy’s diatribe but didn’t see anything except the same old nonsense infecting the press today!
