Donald Trump Suggests Deporting Kneeling NFL Players After New Policy Revealed
"“You have to stand proudly for national anthem, or shouldn’t be playing, you shouldn’t be there,” Trump added. “Maybe you shouldn’t be in the country. You have to stand proudly for the national anthem. And the NFL owners did the right thing.”"
The players insulted the fans. The League supported insulting the fans.
The fans were insulted and less supportive.
This cost the League money and they realized that insulting their customers was a bad idea.
And now they want to put this behind them.
ANd to you, this is Nazi Germany.
You are a freaking crazy person.
The players didn’t insult the fans.
THe flag is a symbol of the nation as a whole. When the players disrespected the symbol of the nation as a whole, they insulted every single American.
That is part of the definition of a symbol. It is utterly absurd for you to pretend to not get this.
They have not made such a big deal about this, because of a simple piece of cloth. It is about what the Flag represents.
Either this is about the Nation as a whole, or it is about nothing. And it is certainly not about nothing.
What you fail to realize is that a very large percentage of football fans are black and they have issues with over policing and police brutality.
I am well aware of the motive the players have for insulting the nation as a whole.
But I don't like the way you ignore the white players nor the white owners or League officials. They all are part of this anti-American movement, and all deserve to be treated accordingly.
Trump has tried to make this about players disrespecting the military and that’s a lie. Not only is it a lie, service men and women say that freedom of speech is what they’re fighting for.
Trump was wrong to make it about the military. It is about America as a whole.
Disrespecting the symbol of the nation, is disrespecting the nation as a whole. Finding and quoting some service members dumb enough to not know that, or dishonest enough to lie,
does not change that in the least.
And yes, it harkens back to Naziism. Trump is an authoritarian president, so it’s hardly surprising. Nationalism, particularly white nationalism, is at the heart of Naziism and Trump is a racist, white supremacist.
All of that is fucking bullshit. YOu are an asshole.
I am an American. You try to make our symbol of being an American about being about trump. Kneeling before our flag is NOT disrespect. We Americans do not kneel before trump or any of the garbage he represents.
