Panthers owner David Tepper: 'Dead wrong' to call NFL players' protests unpatriotic

[Biff_Poindexter]

It’s just lip service. He knows, as does everyone else, that protesting the anthem is a slight against America

Ask the person who is doing the protest

They say they do it to call attention to social injustice

They can say whatever they want. They are expressing disrespect to the Nation as a whole, during the National Anthem,


Fuck the kneelers and the League that supports them.

Giving the finger is disrespectful
Kneeling is not

When standing is done to show respect and loyalty, those who kneel are purposefully and actively showing disrespect and disloyalty.


Obviously.


Do you consider yourself a Patriot?

patriotism is often the last refuge of a scoundrel...

The great thing about America is that if you have your shit together you will be successful, regardless of your color or creed

In fact, if you have your shit together, get degrees from both Columbia and Harvard, marry a woman who got her degree from Princeton, win the presidency, raise beautiful kids, don't cheat on your wife multiple times with porn stars and publically embarrass her -- even if you do all that, there will always be someone to deny you are even a citizen and that your wife is even a woman and your kids are even yours -- because that is America

HE was an asshole and pissed off a lot of people.

I thought you Trump lovers liked Trump because he was an "asshole" and pisses off the "libs"

Care to show me examples of Obama being an "asshole" -- usually what I get from Trump lovers is that Obama think's he's so smart, that Obama is so "arrogant" and is all about himself..

But you are Trump lovers, so self-awareness is not a strong point of yours...

By the way, Trump is the guy who over and over again tries to tout how smart he is, let me know when Obama ever said "I'm like a really smart person" -- smart people usually don't continuously keep trying to prove to everyone how smart he is...

 

[Biff_Poindexter]

At the end of the day he’s your president. Being a president is a tremendous personal achievement that takes a lot of sacrifice and hard work. No one can take that away from obozo. However he doesn’t get credit for being the first black president. The country gets the credit for electing the first black president...hence this isn’t a racist place

At the end of the day he is our President and is accountable to us

In comparing the achievement of becoming president, I’ll take the Great Obama in a heartbeat. Obama was born at a time his black father could be lynched for marrying his white mother. He was raised by grandparents and a single mother and rose to be President. Yes, being the first black president is a big deal. Something no other black had ever dreamed of

Trump was raised as a spoiled rich kid. His fathers wealth, credit, and business contacts got him started in business. He has gone bankrupt multiple times. His marriages have been the stuff of tabloid mockery.

Many, many millionaires have become President. The Great Obama was the first black man

Obama is more impressive

It is difficult to say one person faced more adversity than another because you don't know what it was like to walk in any of their shoes. Even if it's the case that on the surface that Trump had it all. Sure obama growing up with out a dad makes for a good story. I can tell you this though, being black is specifically what catapulted him into the white house. I mean can you think for a second about the fact that he was a community organizer for a portion of his adult life? nobody had a thinner resume than obozo. Trump is one of the worlds wealthiest people. He didn't get there by inheriting it despite the leftwing narrative. Name one thing obama has accomplished outside of being a politician. you can't. When he said you didn't build that, someone else made it happen, it was pure projection. btw you're only making yourself look like an idiot to the readers when you say things like the great obama.

Yea, Herman Cain being black is what catapulted him into the white house, oh wait!

Ben Carson being black is what landed him the presidency, oh wait!

I think their skin color helped them politically to a degree as well. plenty of conservatives would love to vote for a black president.

Probably. But not very much, to our credit.

I admit the idea of how the libs would have dealt with it, if the First Black President was a republican, warmed my heart on more than one occasion.


But I refused to base my votes on something so petty.


I liked Cain because of his, what at the time, seemed like impressive attacks on the Press.

Which is petty....anyone can attack the press -- doesn't make them "impressive" as a policy maker

NFL viewership is substantially down. Let them continue to be idiots. It serves them right.

The last super bowl was one of the top 10 watched events in history. Regular season viewing is down for several reasons and most of it has nothing to do with the false claims made by Trump that you bought into. CTE, lack of concern for player safety, dislike of Goodell, the treatment of Kaepernick also factor into the reduction. And the more the owners side with Trump, the worse it will get for them.

On opening week viewership was down significantly from last year.

Soon it will be a sport, kinda like basketball, that only the Negroes will be watching.

We have stopped watching the NFL assholes in our home and so have many of our friends.

 

[BULLDOG]

If you protest racial injustice and police brutality, you protest America....period

Right, because racial injustice and police brutality are such patriotic things to do..

Racial injustice and police brutality are part of American culture and woven into the fabric of our society.

Not so much now as it was in the past, but that's what the right is trying so hard to restore. It's a big part of what they call making America great again.

That’s a load of bullshit and you know it. Have some self respect.

You know you're wrong, and your pathetic little insult just doesn't have the traction you seem to want.

Often? So, what do you do when you hear someone reference patriotism? Assume they are a scoundrel? Because "often" does not support that.

It is not an asshole move to piss off someone who gets pissed off for the wrong reasons.

My point stands. Obama was an asshole and pissed off a lot of people. Some of them will insult him back.

Care to show me examples of Obama being an "asshole" -- usually what I get from Trump lovers is that Obama think's he's so smart, that Obama is so "arrogant" and is all about himself..

Sure. When he falsely accused McCain of running a racist campaign. That really pissed me off. Fucking asshole.

But you are Trump lovers, so self-awareness is not a strong point of yours...

Your insult is noted. FUck you.

By the way, Trump is the guy who over and over again tries to tout how smart he is, let me know when Obama ever said "I'm like a really smart person" -- smart people usually don't continuously keep trying to prove to everyone how smart he is...

Dude. He is operating at a level you can't even see.

"Anyone" can do it? Yet so few do. And so few manage to win, when they do.


And it really needs to be done. A lot.




And yes, while it is important, it does not say much about his policy ideas.

 

[rightwinger]

Obama. He was not handed daddys inheritance and made history as he ended up president.

Huh? Trump ended up president too, Einstein

By the skin of his teeth and even had Russia's assistance.

Do you have any idea what a community organizer is?
It is an entry level politician

Trump was a birther and reality show host
Can’t get a thinner resume than that

It is true that Obama, like Golden Trump, also defeated Hillary. That seems to have been a rite of passage for presidents the last decade or so. It is not true, however, that Trump went bankrupt multiple times. Some of his business did, but he never did. You might want to be more accurate about that.

Liberals are too stupid to understand how investors have multiple investments with limited liability so that one failure does not bring it all down.

Trump was in serious financial difficulty due to his own poor decisions
His casinos, airline, football team all folded

He built a fortune out of licensing his name

The more investments you make, especially when you are investing in high risk fields, the more likely that some of them will fail.

Drumpf chose to go bankrupt, open fake universities, endorse pyramid schemes, be a reality TV star that fired people, and discriminate against Blacks and Hispanics. At no time did he ever have any political experience. Obama has always been a leader in his community politically and he was a senator. Which person is more qualified?

Trump, dood. Obama is an academic who’s never done anything with his life

I agree Drumpf is a dud. I asked who was more qualified to be the POTUS since Drumpf had zero political experience?.

Who has had a more accomplished life, obozo or Trump?

Obama. He was not handed daddys inheritance and made history as he ended up president.

Huh? Trump ended up president too, Einstein

See what happens when your daddy gives you millions to start out? Drumpf would be a broke loser if he father had not held his hand. Its not impressive that someone that starts out with millions of dollars can become POTUS.
