Is this a racial thing or a gay rights thing or an anti trump thing
He and Charlie Sheen seem to have the same definition of "winning".
Whether the left wants to admit it or not...he came out a big winner from this. He correlated himself with the flag and the army and essentially highlighted the definitive problem of the left which is at their core they appear to be anti-American. The left has officially become the party that represents black lives matter and antifa and instead of shedding this image they happily endorse it. This is not how the left would say they see it but that is how it appears at this moment in time.
If you've ever read the art of the deal by Trump you would understand that he does all this stuff in a very calculated manner.
What's your definition of winning? Being mad, poor and alone posting on Sherdog?
Trump did the right thing and call these entitled low IQers out. Lose money NFL and NBA, lose money.
You got me so hard.
Self-projection. That one found a home.
Damn. Bristly. What could be the cause, I wonder? Something not turning out the way you expected?You got me so hard.
Time for me to reflect on my self-projection.
Lol watDamn. Bristly. What could be the cause, I wonder? Something not turning out the way you expected?
#winning
Trump could have left it alone, just let a few people kneel and everyone could have gone on with their lives. But nooo, he got bored and decided to rile his base up at all of our expense.
Yep.
He's pretty amazing at achieving the opposite of whatever it is he sets out to do. He and Charlie Sheen seem to have the same definition of "winning".
Trump exacerbated the issue, and united most of the country behind Kaepernick by wading in and improperly and inappropriately framing the issue.People were upset with Kaepernick and others last year well before trump said anything. Obviously there was an increase after he did but I'm pretty sure this was an ongoing issue before trump called them a sob.

I've heard ben shapiro saying that its akin to reverse psychology and Trump playing them like a fiddle(they're not kneeling now).Yep.

They're still kneeling.I've heard ben shapiro saying that its akin to reverse psychology and Trump playing them like a fiddle(they're not kneeling now).
I agree he did but it had been on the news since Kaepernick and others started doing it. For the season opener it was big speculation as too who would kneel and if the trend would get larger. Trump did exacerbate it but I was still hearing about it on TV every week before that.
United most of the country behind Kaepernick? Lol what?
The NFL ratings are down, some sponsors have backed out, others debating doing the same , Direct TV allowed people to get full refunds for Sunday ticket, Jerry Jones just did a 180 and wants players to stand, Roger Goodell just sent letters to teams asking to stand.
Looks like most of the people dislike someone sitting or kneeling and imo already had that opinion well before trump said anything.
Why do you associate black lives matter with anti-American in the first place? It's specifically an American movement.
Intellectual dishonesty from Trump and the right.
How does kneeling make them hypocrites? You still haven't gave a sensible explainationOr maybe black athletes could've NOT made this an issue to begin with by not protesting on national TV and becoming MASSIVE HYPOCRITES by complaing about police brutality that harms relatively few blacks on an annual basis compared to black on black and black on non-black crime and violence that injures and kills tens of thousands every year.
I just can't wrap my head around the fact that if black athletes ACTUALLY GAVE A DAMN about 'black lives' that they wouldn't use their platform to tackle the problems that cause them the most harm versus the much lesser problem of police and 'the system' being unfair to black people.
And also I find it hard to support black people and their causes when we have a guy like Cam Newton in a post game interview say:
"It was to signify Black Power, but more importantly, I pray every night for God to give me a pinnacle to give people hope," Newton said. "I did it to raise — to show Black Pride because I am an African American, but more or less, I want all people just to see when I play, I want them to see the joy that I go out there and play with.'
So Newton says BLACK POWER AND BLACK PRIDE IN AN INTERVIEW and people don't even bat an eyelash at that or give it a second thought, but imagine if Tom Brady said 'I did it to show White Pride' what kind of shitstorm that would've raised. Yeah black people aren't hypocritical AT ALL..... >_>
My issue is the fact is that 99% of them are virtue signaling. They rotest for 2 mins and then the rest of the week you dont hear shit from them. I'm sure there are a couple that are really into it but if they were doing anything of significance the news would be covering it. Are the starting rallies in their cities? are they starting "dialogues and talks" between the community and cops, etc? Are they doing anything other than trying to look like the care for 2 mins out of the week. If you gonna protest, do that shit.Or maybe black athletes could've NOT made this an issue to begin with by not protesting on national TV and becoming MASSIVE HYPOCRITES by complaing about police brutality that harms relatively few blacks on an annual basis compared to black on black and black on non-black crime and violence that injures and kills tens of thousands every year.
