    In my absence the liberals have gotten a little too comfortable in their echo chamber here. Nice to stir them up, punching them in the mouth with some truth. Love to see them squirm uncomfortably.

    Meh... a disappointing thread to be honest. You are better than this, you came out with soft serve. I know you haven’t posted much lately but go back to the Trayvon Martin threads you started. Now THOSE were gold. We need more like those, not this weak pgabriel level effort.

    This was inevitable and the timing makes sense. The NFL has the leverage over its players that the NBA doesn’t with superstar power. You’d have to get a consensus with all the star qb’s including Tom Brady which just won’t happen.

    Most of the NFL owners are Trumps true base and the donor class that benefits from his policies. The kneeling thing was old news until Trump pushed it and pushed it some more and forced this type of stand off that ultimately will hurt the league and the owners who don’t really need the league to be dominant when at the end of the day they are still fat ass billionaire elites. They could have shut Trump up who was using the NFL for political gain, but the truth is, most of them probably agree with him and have an autocratic view of the way THEIR players should stay in line. It’s not about disrespecting the flag ... in the end it’s about THEM.

    So F it. I couldn’t stand the NFL for awhile anyways. The game is nothing but a commercial for the viagra and beer ads anyways. Long and drawn out when I’ve got better things to do with my Sunday’s. More time to focus on the Rockets and Astros.

    Always laugh at how bigtex will admit to his only objective... trolling. One day he will come up with something important and people will automatically just look at it and him as the clown...

    Or, use just a little more of what's left of your trump-addled brain to allow for the possibility that what you think is a shot at the military and those that fought wars...isn't. I realize that's asking a lot from you but you seem capable of doing it. You might get a slight headache, though.

    @bigtexxx

    You need to change your thread title. Players will not be fined by the league

    I’m secure enough in my own patriotism to not let someone kneeling for the national anthem bother me.

    Kneeling is a form of genuflection and supplication.

    Now Trump questions whether kneelers even belong in this country.

    Korean summit just called off.

    Lol

    If the criteria for being in this country is standing proudly for the national anthem, a lot of folks will have to be sent out of this country. Pretty sure the vast majority don’t stand proudly every time they hear the national anthem being played, including the current President.

    In other news... President Trump is deporting hundreds of thousands of Americans with disabilities who are unable to stand for the National Anthem.

    The irony of forcing someone to stand for the flag that represents a country where souls far braver than me fought to create and preserve our freedoms is laughable.

    Go easy on BigTexx... fat, over the hill white men are a dying breed.... literally.... they are so fat that their life expectancy dropped. Big Texx is probably hooked on some opioids given his demographic so he’s fat and hooked on drugs. They are a disgrace to their race so they have to play big on the Internet.

    ... so go easy on the fat fella.

    btw, the USSC has previously ruled that you cannot force public school kids to say the pledge or salute the flag...
