Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Nobody was fired. |
Take a knee, Donald, you're obviously not in shape.
You were beaten badly over the weekend by NFL players, coaches, owners and fans.
Instead of one player kneeling during the National Anthem, hundreds did.
And, no player was fired.
You lost, bigly, Trump.
I haven't paid attention to the NFL for decades because I find the pro game boring, compared to college, and the games seem "fixed" much of the time because of all the gambling that goes on.
But, I tuned in Sunday to see what the response would be to Trump's trash-talking of NFL players and the NBA's Steph Curry.
Yes, there were some boos for players who knelt during the playing of the National Anthem, but overall, the fans showed up, cheered and the games went on as usual.
It was great, though, to see that Trump, the Great Divider, could actually unite black and white players along with the owners, who are mostly Republicans, against his tyrannical leadership.
Trump claims that race has nothing to do with it. Of course, like everything he says, that's a lie.
He's not just a white supremacist, as an ESPN personality said last week, he is a racist.
He's an equal opportunity offender, however, because he's also a sexist slob and goes out of his way to antagonize most Americans and people around the world.
Yes, Trump was playing to his dwindling base of mostly white supporters, many of whom are racist.
But, please media, this isn't populism, it's fascism. Call it what it is.
Some have suggested Trump was just trying to distract the press and public away from damaging disclosures from the Russia investigation.
I don't think he's that smart. He just likes to be the center of attention, no matter what is going on.
Puerto Rico is devastated by hurricane Maria. Trump says, what about me?
North Korea continues to threaten the world. Trump tweets insults that get headlines.
It's all about the Donald and no one else.
His so-called defense of the flag and National Anthem is as shallow as he is.
He doesn't give a damn about this country. That's why his campaign colluded with Russia. He's a traitor.
Sadly, many Americans don't care that he is.
