Trump Calls For NFL Boycott

I have made my feelings on the NFL abundantly clear.

I will not watch another game until ALL players respect our flag, anthem, and nation.

If that never happens, I will never watch another game.

I’ve said it before, I’m not asking you to do the same. There are many ways to voice your displeasure about what’s going on, and this is mine.

I may not be asking you to boycott the NFL…but President Trump is.

According to this:

President Donald Trump has ratcheted up the national controversy over black National Football League players who refuse to stand while the U.S. National Anthem is played before games.

 

During a Friday night political rally in Alabama, Trump called on fans to boycott teams that allow players to engage in that particular form of protest.

The league’s TV ratings have slid since quarterback Colin Kaepernick, then the leader of the San Francisco 49ers, began the trend in September 2016.

 

‘Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, “Get that son of a b***h off the field right now! He is fired. He’s fired!”‘ Trump boomed.

 

His crowd applauded and chanted ‘USA! USA!’

I’m totally on board.

People are going to say it’s inappropriate for POTUS to meddle in private business. I obviously don’t think any legal action should ever be taken against NFL players…  but I DO think the President should condemn anyone who disrespects our nation.

It’s their right to do so, it’s our right not to stand for it.

Liberal media is already saying he is calling for them to be fired, which WOULD be inappropriate… but that’s not accurate

‘Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, “Get that son of a b***h off the field right now! He is fired. He’s fired!”‘ Trump boomed.

Yes. I WOULD love to see the OWNERS take that action.

He goes on….

The outspoken president also said American football is ‘not the same game anymore’ since referees have clamped down on aggressive tackles, throwing penalty flags whenever they hear the crack of a vicious hit.

 

‘They are ruining the game, right?’ he asked. ‘They are ruining the game.’

Players on the field ‘want to hit,’ he complained.

 

‘But you know what’s hurting the game more than that?’ Trump asked. ‘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.’

 

‘Pick up and leave. Just pick up and leave.’

They are ruining the game, indeed.
