NFL Protest Had It's Day

I see there is a Florida congressman, Rep. Matt Gaetz, has become the lead sponsor for a bill in congress to remove the tax exemption for the NFL. Why should the NFL not pay taxes? They are making millions. They are getting a free ride in the country they are disrespecting. Those protesting may be good with a football but they are woefully ignorant.
(The tax exemption only applies to the NFL's central office. The NFL voluntarily relinquished its tax-exempt status in 2015. Individual teams pay taxes on their profits.
Gaetz said he wanted to make the voluntary relinqueshment permanent under the tax code.
"We must close this loophole in the tax code, and end taxpayer subsidies for professional athletics," Gaetz said in the release. "If players want to protest, they have that right — but they should do it on their own time, and on their own dime.")

 

.... and another Week of Football in the books

 

In other words "don't bother me with the facts. I'd rather remain in my bubble of willful ignorance".

 

If you prefer to be in your bubble, don't let the rest of us stop you.

 

Wasting money? How much revenue have branded merchandise lost - i.e. earning by the little people? Far more than $250K

 

Trump has declared war on the ESTABLISHMENT. Both Marxist Democrat and Republican establishment. Why do you think so many establishment GOP will not be running for re-election? They know the people will not re-elect them!

 

This is going to put very bad light on white people. Imagin millions of blacks are saying about whites. Imagine years from now what blacks are saying about whites just like they said 40 to 60 years ago.

 

What part of "This was pre-planned",do you not get-what bothers you is this GOP political ploy was so easily & quickly discovered---
Now, you can continue to act all hoodwinked & argue his "fake" patriotism, but in the meantime-----VP Mike Pence---" Paid Protester"

 

I sure didn't see anyone heading for The Exits after The National Anthem

 

I doubt that.

Donald Trump has discovered a gimmick that he can pull the Trumpster chain with every time he needs to be sure that they are thinking about the NFL instead of what's actually going on.

He has played this care twice now.

The first time he didn't want you thinking about the fact that the candidate he endorsed in Alabama was going down in flames, or that his health care bill was down for the count.

This time, he doesn't want you thinking about the Iran deal or the fact the feud he started with his own Secretary of State, or how his tax gimmick is probably dead on arrival.

 

Yea the NFL protest is long gone. Remember that one sunday when the alt left extremists thought this protest was going to change everything? lol!

 

So, you get right on that---
I need to see where the NFL did it "voluntarily"---
But,let's talk about a particular line coach (not a player) for a moment that just resigned from the Miami Dolphins,making almost $ 3 million a year,has coached since the 90's---he sent his mistress a video from his phone showing him doing lines of cocaine in his Miami Dolphins office before going to a meeting with audio saying in part that he would love to be licking the coke from her pu##y--Well, apparently his mistress who is of non-white descent is pregnant with his child & he quit paying her money & also he agrees that it should be put in writing with the Miami Dolphins that it is required to stand for the athem,so, let's call it vengeance, posted the video online, he resigned----
So, my point is,there are others associated with the sport, that obviously benefit from those said tax loopholes that have real world consequences by their actions---what the players are doing is not illegal, however,what this line coach was doing was illegal-----just saying---

 

So what? I am not bothered by any of this. The petulant players kneel. So frigging what? They are idiots. Pence wanted to see his favorite team play. So what? Pence went? Pence did not tolerate petulant players? I am a bit more concerned with the Napa valley fires than what these bozos, well paid players, are up to. They do not like this country. I can survive.

 

That is a distraction tactic. Don't pay attention to the players, please watch this coach go after women. Players do this daily. I mean they never slow down. Do you not think players do lines of coke and talk like that to women?

 

So, once again folks what we have here is the GOP double standard, wrapped up in a pretty word, called "distraction tactic"-----Never mind the fact that the ones breaking the law are making the rules for the ones not breaking the law---
continue on Robert,continue on---true colors are showing----

 

When you point at me, as you do so much of the time, check your hands. A finger pointed at me leaves you 4 fingers pointing back at you.

I do not defend any coke dealers nor sex offenders. Stop pretending that is my message here.

By the way, the time I was offered Coke was from a stunning beautiful woman. I turned her down.

 

Yup, got that---this jerk wasted $250 grand of taxpayers money on a political ploy & your not bothered by it----If pence wanted to see his favorite team 'play", he would have stayed--So,there's that!

 

They won't run for re-election because decent people can't work with Donald Trump and want to go back to civilization and not spend their days playing in the sandbox with a fake Republican like Trump.

 

He needs Corker for the tax proposal. He can kiss "Liddle" Bob Corker's support good bye. (Isn't just adorable that we have a 71 year old man in the White House calling members of his own party names like a ****ing tweenie?)

The man is the most colossally ignorant fool to ever set foot in the Oval Office. Ever.

 

You just keep on believing that - while ignoring Roy Moore got elected. Willful ignorance runs deep in your I guess.

 

Roy Moore, the guy who beat Trump's candidate Luther Strong? That Roy Moore? The one he didn't endorse?

There's something ironic about someone who doesn't even post a complete sentence pontificating about ignorance. Willful ignorance runs deep in your I guess. Sorry, I don't speak Trumpaneze gibberish.

 

And the players have cost people depending on the NFL for their livelihood far more than $250K in the losses by sponsor and the vendors of branded sportswear.

Leave it to the left to simply not care about the little people. They stopped caring 50 years ago. It's why Trump is President today!

 

Roy Moore is the *anti*-establishment candidate. There are a lot of establishment politicians planning on not running for re-election. That *is* an outgrowth of Trump draining the swamp. People aren't going to accept the status quo any longer.

But you are welcome to. Just don't whine when your candidates lose!

 

My candidate didn't lose. I don't live where Roy Moore lives. You're confusing me with President Trump. His candidate lost.

 

The anti-establishment candidates are going to win *everywhere*, regardless of who Trump endorses. Learn it. Love it. Live it!
