OOPS! The NFL will have to change its name. Wouldn’t want to name their league after a NATION, America, would we? How about Nit Flickin’ Louts?
The NFL already ended their non-profit status.
This NFL non-sense, by the knee jerks, may have inadvertently become the catalyst to reduce big government than anything else?working people are fed up with passing our hard earned money away and being given the finger at the same time.
What great people?
My bad. I saw something on Twitter and it had a quote of Brees trashing Trump. And saying the whole team sat.
FWIW, I would have preferred the president didn’t use the term “SOB.” If one must use curse words then they haven’t explained their point of view clearly, imo.
good point! Taking control of the language is something we conservatives need to learn.
Bingo! Not one tax dollar should be routed to these traitorous bastards! NOT ONE!!
Didn't realize that.
“In fact, we should get local and state governments out if the bribing business. Let them attract businesses by being good places to do business!”
Isn’t this just a State/Local manifestation of the way that the folks in Washington DC operate? The only difference is who the “Bribors” and “Bribees” are, and I suspect the “Bribors” are some of the same globalists in both places. As Al Pacino said in the movie “The Scent of a Woman,” “someone needs to take a flamethrower to Haaavaad and the other “business schools” who have given the world these feckless creatures to whom the only thing that matters is money!’
Unfortunately, we still have “sports junkies” who are “all in” for having all of us pay for them to go waste their time and money watching a bunch of overpaid Black’s play a stupid game! Voting for bonds to build “sports venues” should require a 60% or 70% majority to pass.
Useful information...
>>Stunned to see Brees and Payton sitting for the national anthem. Probably biggest surprise. Will never forgive.<<
Stunning.
Brees = jerk
I sent an email to my senators and the White House to stop subsiding NFL and ALL of them....football, basketball, .....if people knew this was going on...giving money to the rich. I spend almost $500 last year on Pittsburgh. Never again! NFL made a big mistake. Even my husband (X military) is turning the channel and I know that painful for him. I’ll love to see this fact go viral.
“I think Football was supposed to be destroyed by the “concussion thing” — they even got Will Smith to star in a movie about it. But that train was moving too slowly, so the Marxists got this National Anthem thing going as well.
They just want to get rid of anything which makes American culture unique.”
Wow, now there’s a real conflation of unrelated matters. Yessiree, that NFL represents a “uniquely American culture” all right! The culture of Whites paying big bucks to see Blacks trying to kill each other on national TV. I mean if you want to conflate it a little more, you can just “compare” the NFL to Black Lives Matter riots! Because at the end of the day, there is really little difference, except the absence of tear gas and cops. Then again, the referees do carry “guns” and little hankies to throw on the ground. “Football” doesn’t need “the concussion thing,” they are 90% Marxists already so the destruction is coming from within. Bubbye NFL, don’t let the yard marker hit you in the a$$ as you leave the field forever.
As with all other forms of entertainment, the Left has gotten their tentacles into sports.
“Many/most times, citizens vote to approve stadium funding because they get frightened into thinking their city will be second-rate without a sports team(s). “
Now that’s funny, because if you look at the cities with NFL teams, they are already second-rate with or without the NFL.
“I call them non-taxables.”
Be honest and call them what they really are, FREELOADERS!
He didn’t sit, but he also didn’t keep his mouth shut, when he should have.

Drew Brees disagrees with Donald Trump and silent protest during national anthem

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - The controversy over President Donald Trump’s remarks directed at the NFL has taken the league by storm since Friday evening.
The NFL, NFLPA and numerous teams, including the Saints, issued statements in the past 48 hours renouncing Trump’s comments, including one where he used the phrase “son of a bitch” to describe players kneeling in protest of social justice issues during the national anthem.
New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees understood the attention surrounding the controversy so much so that he started his postgame press conference by addressing Trump’s remarks before taking questions following the Saints’ 34-13 win over the Carolina Panthers.
“I disagree with what the President said and how he said it,” Brees said. “I think it’s very unbecoming of the office of the President of the United States to talk like that, to the great people like that, and, obviously, he’s disappointing a lot of people.”
