Yeah,I was too...Trump's got the right to comment on anything he wants but this thing wouldn't be the big deal it is without him.

Hello; I guess I see your point in that it seems there are more players disrespecting the flag than before. However I was already pissed and president Trump merely said what I have herd many others say. His form of comment, as crude as it was, is somewhat nicer than the way I have stated it myself.
The players disrespecting the flag started the problem, not president Trump . He may have added something to the mess, but I think he got it right. To me all the players, coaches and other employees of the teams and the NFL who took a knee should be free from their jobs so they can go somewhere and protest to their hearts content.

I heard that FOX Sports has decided not to televise the anthem before the games that they cover.That should be a good move toward putting an end to the displays although ESPN and others will likely continue to harp on the issue.
I made a similar suggestion a few posts ago.

I think it might have to do with ray lewis. I heard he made a commemt about stoping the b.s and to start showing respect to our flag. Or something along those lines

Hmm interesting,I have been hearing his name mentioned the past few days but I wasn't aware of what his position was.I didn't look into it as I figured he was siding with the bandwagon crowd.

Hello; If true then good for Ray Lewis.

Hello; Ray Lewis? Did not know there is a statue of him. I guess they will put it with the statue of REL and Traveler.

Hello; Let me be clear. Good that the he wants folks to respect the flag, not that he may lose a statue.

Besides, maybe they aren't discriminated against, but they're protesting discrimination in the us in general.

But they aren't doing that. Cops that had done nothing wrong were killed in Dallas. The NFL threatened the Cowboys when they wanted to honor them. NFL players wear nasty anti police clothes at practice and that's OK.

The NFL players couldn't care less that innocent police are being killed.

Most of the people in this country that are poor are white. Most of the people killed by policemen are white. Do you see NFL players protesting that?

Women in this country are being raped and beaten. Some of them by NFL players,. Do you see NFL players protesting that?

On the whole, NFL players aren't against discrimination. As long as it's against cops, white people, and women, they have no problem with it at all.
