Trump: NFL Needs Less Kneeling, More Concussions
By NCD on Fri, 09/22/2017 - 10:39pm |The "Barking Dog" at Alabama Adoration Rally: Trump also said he'd like to see NFL owners respond to players kneeling during the National Anthem by saying: "Get that son of a bitch off the field right now, he's fired. He's fired!"
"For a week, (that owner would) be the most popular person in this country," Trump said, "because that's a total disrespect of our heritage... he complained about NFL efforts to enforce penalties designed to prevent concussions. "They're ruining the game, right?" he said. "They're ruining the game."

Trump condemns black football players more harshly than he condemned neo-Nazis. Think about that for a second. Take all the time you need.

At the U.N., Trump called the leader of North Korea "Rocket Man". He wants "Sons of bitches" like Colin Kaepernick off the field, something some here support.
Here are Trump's words
“But you know what’s hurting the game more than that? When people like yourselves turn on television and you see those people taking the knee when they are playing our great national anthem. The only thing you could do better is if you see it, even if it’s one player, leave the stadium, I guarantee things will stop. Things will stop. Just pick up and leave. Pick up and leave. Not the same game anymore anyway.”
Trump uses the "people like you" versus "those people" dog-whistle. I hope more NFL players take a knee.

Trump attacked Jemelle Hill of ESPN for tweeting that she fcorrectly felt that Donald Trump a white supremacist. Sarah Huckabee Sanders said that Jemelle Hill should be fired. Steven Curry said that he wouldn't attend the White House celebration of the Golden State Warrior NBA championship. Today Trump tested that Steve Curry was no longer invited to the White House. This was an attempt at saving face.
I focus on the racial aspects of the comments of the white supremacist in the White House, but I do not ignore Trump's other dangerous comments or silences.
1. Trump paid little attention to the devastation in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
2. Trump continued to call the Russia story fake news despite the fact that Facebook hosted anti-Clintons ads paid for by Russians (sometime in rubles). We also know that Russia attacked at least 21 states during the election.
3. Trump continues to taunt Kim Jung Un despite the risk of escalating the conflict with North Korea.
4. Trump actually advocates for concussions.
Trump is a white supremacist. He is also insane. He still has the approval of 40% of the public.
Edit to add:
Protesters like Kaepernick are "sons of bitches"
White supremacists and Nazi protesters include some "very fine people"

All these points on his ravings should be 2 inch headlines in every newspaper, and condemned in every editorial. Until he is driven out of office.
America is descending deeper down the rabbit hole, led by the Republicans and their base.
NFL CEO Goodell had a pablum response:
Supports sense of unity? 6 NFL owners gave Trumps inaugural $1 million each. Trump whose greatest achievement after praising himself is dividing the country in every way possible.

The Russians attacked at least 21 states. We are in a cyberwar with Russia. Congress and what's-his-name are doing nothing.

The pushback from star athletes has been a beautiful thing to see. Bravo to Lebron James, Steph Curry, DC's own Zach Brown, Chris Long, and all whom I have missed. These men are heroes to millions of Americans, including many who voted for Apprentice. If they come out strongly against him, it will dent his popularity.

Yeah the bully has finally met his match, talk about counter-productive, geeezzz. When you've pissed off the NFL and the NBA, it's over? Everyone for impeachment now!? Kelly gone blotto at the bar?
I had this inking something really off the wall was coming when I saw the first few minutes of the Alabama speech. He was almost too jovial, like high and lose after a few cocktails or something. Supposedly doesn't drink, but that's really how he appeared. This time the loose locker room talk is not going to be as easy to slough off as the pussy-grabbing thing.
