All Trump has to say is he doesn't agree with it and nothing more. The smart patriotic American people will take it from there.
NFL in for rude awakening after first kneel
- Thread starter gchaneyjr
- Start date
A vast majority of NFL players will be kneeling this year, so anyone with a problem with this should not bother watching at all.
Thats his point... ratings will suffer... the NFL is caught between a shit and a fart and Goodell is a turd
After this quarantine people are hungry for some sports to watch but the other side of the coin is they are aware they can do without it.
Trump should really troll them and tell them they can show their support for the U.S. and anthem by standing, sitting, or kneeling. Would be hilarious watching the SJW’s try to protest then.
I thought about this too... because of the lack of sports, some ppl may be desperate to watch it which in turn may cause higher ratings, but it will be false hope
Thats when they will bust out the african scarves like the retarded left wing politicians yesterdayTrump should really troll them and tell them they can show their support for the U.S. and anthem by standing, sitting, or kneeling. Would be hilarious watching the SJW’s try to protest then.
Not nearly as much as if they continued banning kneeling. The pendulum has now swung in the opposite direction and the NFL would start losing sponsors left and right if they took the wrong side of history, which is why Goodell came out and admitted they were wrong all this time. I also fully expect Kap to be back in the league next season.
This will be the new normal going forward.
The NFL and Goddell know Trumps days are numbered and they are fed up with Trumps interference....This is their league and they will run it as they see fit....Most Americans applaud this change...
NFL should provide an appropriate time to kneel and just play the anthem before the players are on field.
Problem solved.
Problem solved.

The Big Questions -
How many idiots at the games will try to give fans a hard time when they stand for and sing the National Anthem.
Will the politcally corret team announcers will say please stand or kneel for our National Anthem.

You and dmatt are competing to outdo CD with irrational and factless statements. Below are just a few reminders of the negative impact to the NFL and why players were asked to stop. It was all cool until it hits their $$$, then they stopped, and fans indirectly control that $$. History has a tendency to repeat itself for morons...
NFL concedes that national anthem protests are hurting business
https://www.bizjournals.com/newyork...cedes-that-national-anthem-protests-hurt.html
NFL ticket sales at TickPick slumped 17.9 percent this week compared with the prior week, their steepest decline since 2014, while sales at TicketCity plunged 31 percent. For pro football games in September, ticket sales at TicketCity are down 16 percent from a year ago. TickPick's NFL sales rose this month, but by the smallest margin since 2015. The vendors' data reflect tickets sold in the secondary market, as opposed to direct sales from NFL teams.

The Sporting News article says "Nearly one-third (32 percent) of adults say they're less likely to watch NFL game telecasts because of the Kaepernick-led player protests against racial injustice, according to Rasmussen's telephone/online survey of 1,000 American adults conducted Oct. 2-3. Only 13 percent said they were more likely to watch an NFL game because of continuing protests by Kaepernick and supporters such as Antonio Cromartie of the Colts (who was cut only two days after raising a fist during the playing of "The Star-Spangled Banner" in London on Sunday)."

Further results directly from the study reveal the following:
- Blacks strongly believe they are treated unfairly by the police, but most overall voters think crime in inner cities is a bigger problem than police discrimination against minorities.
- Twenty-nine percent of men say they are less likely to watch an NFL game because of the growing protests, while 18 percent say they’re more likely to watch. Among women, 35 percent say they are less likely to watch, and only 8 percent are more likely to tune in.
- Those younger than age 40 are more likely to watch NFL games because of the protests than their elders are. But just over half of adults in all age groups say the growing protests have no impact on their viewing decisions.

I will Raoul, as will a very large group of whites, blacks, hispanics, and every other ethnicity that supports, and appreciates, the USA and the Armed Forces that protect it, present and past.
That I can assure you won't be happening. The NFL wouldn't make this move unless they've polled and focused grouped the hell out of it before taking action. The Floyd case has marked a rapid change on where the public are on race issues. If anything, this will be driven by a new patriotism that coming together to reject racism is entirely complimentary of the flag and the nation at large.

OK...so all of the sudden, thanks to this "new patriotism" of yours, the group of bigots that exist in the Country are suddenly going to have a change of heart? What happens when the next rogue police officer, which will always be in play, kills a black man? Is it back to the drawing board? We have made great strides since the 60's Raoul and all we're doing is undoing the progress.
These "great strides" would actually mean more if they had resulted in real equality for all Americans. The fact that they haven't is literally the impetus for all the kneeling, demonstrations, and other shows of civil disobedience we have seen in recent years. We have real structural problems in this society, which is reflected in the public data.

Surveys are pretty cute but what about the actual facts? More whites are killed each year by police than blacks. More unarmed whites are killed by police each year than blacks. For every 10,000 arrests of a black man by police for violent crimes, 3 are killed. For every 10,000 arrests of a white person for a violent crime, 4 are killed. Also, in 2018 there were 547,948 violent crime incidents involving black on white crimes, while there were only 59,778 violent crime incidents involving white on black crimes. Is this part of the public data that you are referring to?
In before unhinged leftists say these numbers are doctored
These people are adverse to actual facts so that would be no surprise at all. They run on nothing but emotions.
When we stay structural problems, we're not just talking about police interactions. We're talking about the entire range of societal issues. There's an entire mountain of social science that backs this up.
Moving the goalposts again? That seems to happen a lot once facts prove the narrative wrong.That "mountain" that you refer to is more like a landfill.
I'm sure you'd love to hide it in a landfill. Most people who have had enough of this are ready to actually start looking at fixing the problem.
You mean the same people that have been "fixing" this problem for the last 40 years? Too bad that their work doesn't come with a money back guarantee. The only thing being hidden in a landfill are the facts that more whites are killed by police than blacks year in and year out. Wonder why CNN won't run the videos of whites being killed by police on a 24/7 basis like they do when the roles are reversed?

Actually no I don't mean the same people. Liberals are nearly as bad as Conservatives on this issue.
Nearly as bad? Didn't Biden take full credit for the 1994 crime bill that went even further in it's oppression of an entire generation of blacks?
No doubt Goodell is a weak, plastic, political commissioner. The Pete Rozelle types are long gone.
But he's in a tough jam. I'd say 70% of NFL fans who attend games are right wing, based on applause and boos at certain times for various displays that go on pre-game or halftime.
But they players are about 90% are on the other side. Does he piss off the live gate or does he risk players striking?????

Or his Castro shirt. Kaepernick is a d bag and a phony.
Did anyone see him leading any peaceful protests the past couple of weeks?
