A few days ago, Seahawks receiver Doug Baldwin was hoping he wouldn’t be in a position anytime soon to be asked a question about the national anthem and a statement by president Donald Trump that would result in a headline-making comment.
Baldwin, like many of his NFL-playing counterparts, thought the issue of players making protests during the anthem was receding and the focus turning to the league acting in concert with players to address their concerns that led to the protests in the first place.

Wait...this from the guy who pantomimed taking a dump on the field in one of the most largely viewed television events of the year?
That guy.
Okay, then.

Lets face it, the current era NFL is a horrible product even without this kneeling crappola. It’s a sport were the players really can’t self police themselves at all. Just garbage.

When the Stanley Cup finals are over, Major League Baseball is hitting its stride. When the World Series is over, the NHL season is underway. Throw in some Indy Car racing and that’s all I need.
The NFL is excess baggage.

The anti-American attitudes of these wealthy losers hopefully will lead to a collapse of the NFL. For those who still watch...you support this BS.

. But for him to say that anybody who doesn’t follow his viewpoints or his constituent’s viewpoints should be kicked out of the country is not very empathetic. Thats not what Trump said, but of course, they have to take the absolute worst possible interpretation of anything Trump says...

So, Doug, at least Sherman has known skills and smarts beyond football. How about you?
