Rush is wrong, Trump has no power to do any of what he suggested. Trump took a position and the people have answered his call.
That’s what happens when leaders lead.

This is not what Rush was saying. He was saying it is too bad Trump understands the American public better than the owners understand them. This was a throwaway line and not the point.

Rush is worried about his football addiction.

I was uncomfortable listening to Rush yesterday. He's wrong here.

Trump would be "dictating" if he led an effort to punish the NFL via the tax code or something. All he did was use the bully pulpit to express his own opinions, which all presidents do on various issues.

It worried me a bit that Rush would say this, since I don’t remember President Trump issuing a demand.

Yes, his voice is powerful, but he simply stated how he would handle it — fire those showing disrespect — and the nonsense would stop.

Rush did go on to say the president was giving voice to what the American people wanted to say, but couldn’t.

DJT didn’t “dictate” . Good grief, Rush; pull it together.

Well Rush, we didn't elect President Trump to "President". We elected a WRECKING BALL aimed at leftist hopes, dreams and especially their unicorns. I'm getting everything I could ever dream out of this.

Nice ride lefties... it'd be a shame if something happened to it.

We are no longer interested in reconciliation. We have moved on to war.

Trump is not passing a bill involving this issue. He basically thinks the NFL should follow their own rules which states players will stand during the anthem.

I love our President.

I believe that Rush just wanted to make sure that any NFL rules come from the owners and the league and not Washington DC.

I agree with him.

We always have the left taking advantage of our side keeping ourselves in check.

Rush loves the NFL.

I think he was an announcer at one time.

Initially, he was all on board with Trump's comments because they were spot on, but now he may be having second thoughts because the NFL is really falling apart more and faster than anyone anticipated and it may be permanent.

Advertisers are not happy and Rush does not want to go down in history as the man who killed the NFL.

Did the Lib Hill EVER headline an article when Rush Limbaugh said he was nervous about some remark by Barack Hussein Obama M.M.M.???

It’s called the bully pulpit. He used it effectively and it was his right.

Limbaugh, solidly GOPe and a Bushie, has had a horrendous time since balancing his show on the Establishment NeverTrump/ProTrump Populism fence.

He falls off from time to time.

I seem to remember an ongoing kerfuffle about Rush saying he wished Zer0 would fail.

NFL is like any business in the US. While on the job you follow their rules/regs. What you do on private time is your business. Unless there are rules in your $20 Million contract that state you can’t do anything to embarrass your employer with said behavior.
