    I'm not suggesting you "shut up and support him," I'm saying he's not really doing anything any other president has done when it comes to playing politics. The big difference between him and the rest is that he hasn't spent his adult life honing his political skills so he can say things in a way that won't offend anyone.

    Which they did, and they're paying for it now. Problem is, the league took a hit along with them.

    Oh no doubt. It's measurable for sure. No one can really say if it was the bs with the flag or just a bs product but numbers were down last year for sure.

    You're still reacting to the 1st part of my original message, I guess; not the second part I addressed to GDF. We all know what really happened. One or two guys made a protest, a lot of people got uncomfortable. Then Trump gave his opinion, and half the country - not to mention most of the NFL players - snapped. It was all about making Trump look bad. And yes, I honestly believe that.

    nope

    It had settled down,.. then Trump purposely stirred it up again to thrill his minions,.. he then sent Pence to the Colts game, so they could make a big show of Pence leaving when some players knelt,.. Trump didn't simply give his opinion,.. it was the opening act in a premeditated series of media events. It was all about Trump looking good to his base. And yes, I honestly believe that.
