    Who cares right? Clearly the vast majority of the people are not happy about how the NFL has handled a bunch of whiny millionaire players who are spitting in the face of every frontline service member.

    Is there a rule in the liberal issued book (written by Karl Marx no doubt) that says the POTUS may not make his opinion public on a current event??

    Interesting. Criticizing someone for getting their business involved in politics by criticizing those who involve politics in their business.

    So the pizza sales come down and Papa John's blamed the NFL protests, to which liberals responded by saying the pizza sucked and tasted like cardboard and that's the real reason the sales dropped.

    Then the stocks fall and Papa John's blames their accusations of the NFL protests, to which liberals suddenly agree.

    In reality, it sounds more like people started choosing other pizza, most likely because of PJ's ties with the NFL, which in turn caused the stocks to fall along with the pizza sales.

    The only change I've noticed so far from their inequality protests, is a steep drop in ratings. Once again, the nation lets its squeakiest titbag whiny bitches know that their childish protesting is good for absolutely nothing...

    He gave his opinion from the bully-pulpit as all presidents before him have done. You're being a bit melodramatic.

    See Post 18 in that thread.

    The short answer is that bigots are attempting to deny the right to protest. They are very uncomfortable with the truth that black folks in general are mistreated by the system. Those bigots are also in denial, and would just rather not be reminded about social injustice, would rather not talk about it.

    When Obama called the police officer an idiot, did you **** a brick?

    And those same football players spent the past weekend, like they do every year, sending personal and heartfelt thanks to service members, donating money to veterans funds, and honoring every service member.

    You should just make "that's what lib progs do." into your signature line and save yourself the time of typing out the same lame **** every single post.

    Firing people does not deny anyone the right to protest. If you allow your employees to protest on your time, their message automatically becomes your message. The NFL has taken ownership of the message and customers will make their own decision.

    Their message is that police abusing their authority is acceptable if the victim is not black.

    Yeah I’m not liking the ratings drop too much. I love my football and definitely want it to stick around.

    Some say the state religion of Texas is football. I guess that makes me a religious person lol.

    It’s not like they can’t continue to protest. They just don’t get to use their(well former I guess) bosses time anymore. They have all the free time in the world to go and protest or do whatever at that point.

    Yeah, because their sales actually went UP when football started. But you would know that if you read their own press release.

    So theres nothing political in his statement.....Schnatter is a big republican fundraiser ;)

    Papa John's should have went one step further and put the blame for their sluggish pizza sales where it belongs: Their pizza is dogshit.

    What “bigots” would that be? There is a significant amount of people who aren’t tuning in as their reaction to what they see as the wrong place, wrong time, and definitely the wrong way of protesting.

    Players don’t have to stand for the anthem, but the fans don’t have to tune in or attend games either. Two way street.

    It's a liberal fantasy; more mythology spun from reality into panic and loathing.

    Same old same old.
