I don't see what lpmua6 said was that bad? Hear me out a lot of athlete's and celebrities have been ripping this guy to shreds since he got elected but what have they done to help the country? Like a bunch of children that didn't get their toy! A bunch a whiney millionaires sitting there bitching and crying because this guy got elected but they do don't shit to help the country out. They go out and party and live it up daily! You have people like Justin Beiber and Katy Perry making 50 million dollars a year, no wonder why we are in debt. I make 20 fucking dollars an hour and work my ass off, do you think Kobe gives a shit about me or the economy, NO, he is sitting on his Coach in his 20 million dollar house which 20 families can live in bitching about the president. I mean really? Think about that for a minute. I am very against someone kneeling for the flag, it disrespects our country and our military . It is just wrong. If a Pro athlete or celebrity has a problem with issues in our country go on CNN or FOX and express it on TV, give money toward the economy. The Football field isn't the place for it, JMO. I watch Football to get a way from political shit and now can even do that anymore. Why the fuck would anyone think it is right to kneel before the flag of our country? Guys that have died for that flag.
I personally wouldn't do it, but they have a right to express their viewpoints. Remember, they are protesting the never ending flood of racial divide. I'm sure that each and every one of them respects our service men and women (unlike Tr*mp, who has chosen to discriminate against transgender people who serve). He is a bigot of the worst kind and to suggest that owners FIRE the "sons of bitches" who take a knee is just further evidence of his bigotry. He is fine with tweeting cruel things against black athletes, but when Nazis gathered to protest resulting in the death of a peaceful counter protester, there were bad people on "both sides." These athletes have the luxury of being able to have a voice, so doing their shit behind the scenes isn't as effective as doing it BEFORE the game starts. So IMO they aren't doing this "on the football filed" at all. They are doing it before the game even starts. What Tr*mp said was out of line. He is trying to control free speech from his bully pulpit. Somehow locking arms in protest to his fucked up words is OK, but kneeling is disrespectful? He has no business telling us that White Supremacism is OK, but saying that black athletes can't protest systemic racism. So he is fine telling these billionaire owners to fire their black players if they don't act a certain way, but he hasn't said one thing about a foreign adversary interfering in our elections. He is one fucked up asshole any way you slice it and I am thrilled that black football players are saying fuck you right back to him. This deranged piece of shit has no business being our president.
Here's one of many tweets I agree with.
