    Trump's not letting up on these punk ass NFL kneelers and I love it. Shame these fools into submission if that's what it takes. I sent an email to the Seahawks who are out of it now and told them to get off their ****ing knees and start planning football. No reply as of yet. LOL

    "President Trump retweeted an image Thursday appearing to show a grieving military family, in an apparent message to NFL players who “still kneel.”
    The president has been relatively quiet on the issue in recent weeks, after an extended feud with the NFL and players who kneel during the National Anthem. Trump’s Thursday tweet brought the feud into the new year.

    "The president shared a tweet from an account, @CoreyLMJones, who posted a photo seeming to show a woman grieving by a military grave. She is shown on top of a blanket, which appears to have photos of her and her loved one stitched across it. The photo shows bold text that reads: “THIS IS WHY WE STAND.”

    The president shared the post on his account, tweeting: “So beautiful…Show this picture to the NFL players who still kneel!”

    This grieving military family is a result of military expansion, so Trump is putting his own fault on display. It’s quite distasteful to use death as a ploy for political talking points, but Republicans have done it before, they’ll do it again.

    I say what I’ve said since day one of this pitiful outrage from the right. You have a remote, you can mute or flip the channel for those two minutes. Simple request.

    Just as I've always guessed ... this has Nothing - Zero to do with The Military

    It has to do with Submission ... Back People don't and Won't Submit to these Racist Ass-Holes and they are losing their fluids in thier litte Pink Pnaties.

    Football season is largely over. Trump is running low on dog whistles.

    Now he's using grieving military families to poke at the NFL protesters when before he was insulting Gold Star families. Depends on what he wants out of them I guess. And, BTW, protest is an American right and value: it's one of the things our military fights for. Anyway, why is the president involved in what football players do? He has far more important issues to attend to.

    But they want the white man to feed and take care of them, right?

    Why don't the "back" [sic] pay for their own fricking crap!!!!!

    Why can't Trump just post a photo without being a petty little ****** about it? The dude is a 15 year old drama queen.

    WTF are you talking about?

    ... what is your time in the 40?
    ... can you catch a Football?
    ... can you throw a Football?
    ... can you Block and execute a 4-3
    ... if 290 lbs Man tackled you, would you cry Mama?

    I know for sure, none of those owners can, that's why they hire Professional ATHLETES ... not Slaves

    The day these Owners can do these things on their own will be the day they don't need to Draft Athletes.

    If a BLACK Player wants to scratch his Balls ... he won't need Whitey Permission to do.

    They are not 'punk NFL kneelers.' They are Americans who are protesting. Non-violent, silent protesting. Protesting is a fundamental and valuable right for all Americans. It is one of the things our military fights for and something we should all hold sacred. Those who vilify peaceful protesters are quintessentially UNAMERICAN.

    Or you can do what many of us vets have done - never watch another game and don't buy advertised products.

    I have been a Patriots fan since 1960 and have watched or gone to every game I could - the surprising thing to me is that I don't miss it at all -

    That is your call and that is another form of protest. Go for it.

    WTF are you talking about?

    NFL attendance and ratings has plummeted since all this kneeling crap started.

    If it weren't for the white man, these pro-ballers wouldn't have a venue to be pro-ballers and wouldn't be making millions.

    And even after making millions off the white man, they squander it all on booze, drugs, women, expensive cars, expensive jewelry and expensive houses and then after retiring they are fricking broke....

    You are 100% correct - if a player wants to protests at his job by spitting on my flag - he can
    If an owner wants to allow the player to spit on my flag - he can - or he can fire the player

    As a consumer, I can support the player by ignoring the fact that he has spit on my flag and I can continue watching his games - or I can protest the desecration of my flag myself by not watching the game and by not buying the advertised products.

    By the way - why are you bringing racism into an argument that is about disrespecting my flag - I see whites and coaches and owners doing the same thing as the blacks - in my book they're all undisciplined fools with no respect for the one thing that is revered by all veterans - our flag.

    The right to peacefully protest isn't limited to certain people.

    My Father was both a Veteran and a Law Enforcement Officer, and he didn't need to hijack a protect movement.

    I din't give a fly f'ck about NFL Attendance, I'm not invested in the NFL, NBA, MLB or NHL ... hell I can;'t remeber the last time a watched any game of any type from beginning to end. And I sure as hell never see someone singing the Anthem before a game.

    Wait ... I thought you chest beating righties didn't like Hollywood / Music Industry types anyway!

    Like I said, this has nothing to do with the military ... it's just an excuse for racist crybabies to bitch and complain about Black People ...

    I know plenty of vets who continue to watch the game - some of them are also retired cops.
    I also know plenty of vets who won't watch another game - some of them are also retired cops.

    I have no beef with anyone but the NFL for allowing such perfidy to occur. They produce a product I am no longer interested in wasting my time or resources supporting.

    It would be nice if he would stop being a cuck for 10 minutes and not use grieving families as pawns to take a stab at people.

    I see Players in all Leagues bent over taking a knee every week ... but why are the Racist Crybabies only get their panties in a bunch when a Black Man does it?

    I'll answer that, because Black Men don't do what their told anymore.

    This has nothing to do with black people and everything to do with people kneeling during the National Anthem.

    Stop bringing race into it.

    The ONLY reason .... repeat, THE ONLY REASON why I'm not going to Stand for The National Anthem for The NFL, is because someone is pointing a Finger at me mandating that I have to. I'll display my Patriotism when I feel like displaying it and how I chose to display it. Not because you tell me I have to and where I have to.

    Anyone that doesn't like it can KM Natural BA
