Donald Trump's NFL attacks down to jealousy, says Jaguars owner Shad Khan
The Guardian ^ | 10-19-2017 | Guardian Sport

The Jacksonville Jaguars owner, Shad Khan, believes Donald Trump’s attacks on the NFL are motivated by jealousy.

Trump has been vocal in his criticism of NFL players who have chosen to kneel during the national anthem as a way of highlighting racial injustice in the United States. In September, the president said: “Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, ‘Get that son of a bitch off the field right now. Out! He’s fired. He’s fired!’”

(snip)

But Khan suggested that rather than patriotism, Trump’s anger may stemp from his failure to buy the Buffalo Bills in 2014.

“He’s been elected president, where maybe a great goal he had in life to own an NFL team is not very likely,” Khan told USA Today Sports on Wednesday. He added: “The attacks on Muslims, the attacks on minorities, the attacks on Jews. I think the NFL doesn’t even come close to that on the level of being offensive. Here, it’s about money, or messing with – trying to soil a league or a brand that he’s jealous of.”

Apparently, the players aren’t the only ones suffering from severe brain trauma.

Sure, Shad. Anybody that doesn’t like your stupid @$$ is jealous. How many differential equations have you ever solved? And don’t go throwing around your stupid jock degree like Shaq, another idiot that thinks he’s educated.
