    You're asking a deflection question and I don't see it being relevant. Just take responsibility when things blow up in your face. America doesn't want to tune into football and see kneeling SJW's and their crusades.
    The players brought this on with their actions.

    It's a simple yes or no question.

    No Genius he didn't.

    If Trump never said anything they still would be kneeling and it still would have started last year. You couldn't be more wrong if you tried harder.

    ''NFL least liked sport"



    Fake news.


    The reality:


    Top 10 sports leagues by revenue
    • National Football League (NFL): $13 billion.
    • Major League Baseball (MLB): $9.5 billion.
    • Premier League (English/Welsh football league): $5.3 billion.
    • National Basketball Association (NBA): $4.8 billion.
    • National Hockey League (NHL): $3.7 billion.

    It's a pointless question. You already stated that the players started it, don't try and wriggle of the hook and blame Trump.

    The NFL is a cash machine and doing just fine.

    The NFL couldn't care less about the opinions of a bunch of flag-hugging SNOWFLAKES spewing Fake Patriotism.

    It is what it is. :salute:

    fyi, the easiest solution would be to not train the camera on them. it was rwers and trump that escalated the issue.

    it is that simple. but rwers would rather fish for reasons to hate.

    Which "they?" A handful of players or a whole team? The average person would not have noticed nor cared if it was just one or two players kneeling, and everything that happened prior to week 3 is proof of that.

    No it's not, and it's a simple question to answer.

    That would be the easiest solution, but is it the right one? To me the best solution is to follow the guidelines that they have, and tell people to stand. Every one of these players has a large podium and name recognition off the field to promote their crusades.

    a lot of baby mommas depend on support checks from NFL stars

    Lower revenues could mean fewer trips to the nail shop for them and less money for the Vietnamese nail shop girls

    Totally pointless and attempts to switch the blame from the people who started it, to the person who commented on it. Par for the course with todays liberals, it's always someone elses fault.

    I could care less what you think the number was before. The reality was they were still doing it and showing no signs of stopping before Trump ever said a word.

    And I love that he called the racist cockroaches out for their behavior.

    They were doing it before, no one really cared. He opened his mouth, then everyone cared and responded in kind.

    Wrong again. People did care even when it was just that bum Kaepernick doing it.

    Not really, it's in the NFLs own guidelines.

    Can't blame us if Trump doesn't have any talents other than running his mouth.

    A small fraction of people cared. Compare attendance before the league-wide kneeling to after that.
