While this country is still recovering from two catastrophic hurricanes and the parts of the world suffering from catastrophic hurricanes and earth quakes, the nut job in NOKO threatening nuclear war, world-wide terrorism and poverty/disease, anarchy on our streets and the media and sports world is in frenzy because the bombastic Trump dared to share his opinion regarding the disrespect to country and values by NFL players taking the knee during the playing of the National Anthem.
Two stupids don’t make a smart but the NFL and some of its players had to fuel the flames and make it front and center newsworthy. I don’t understand why those who feel the need to protest do so with invective and violence. The NFL players take it upon themselves to peaceably protest respecting the anthem and the values it represents and the League supports their right to do so. That’s fine – constitutionally protected free speech.
But the president cannot voice his opinion and those agreeing with him by openly protesting on the streets would breed more violence and divisiveness. Football viewership is already down. The best and safest way for individuals to protest what they consider loathing to their values by players taking the knee is to stop attending games and/or viewing the glut of NFL games. Money talks, BS walks!
The hate for Trump shadows the real problems that beset America.
