Der Fuehrer tRump called out Professional Football OWNERS, not players

[Ferrets are Cool]

The players had nothing to do with drafting this new policy on the "anthem".

"The NFL chose to not consult the union in the development of this new “policy.” NFL players have shown their patriotism through their social activism, their community service, in support of our military and law enforcement and yes, through their protests to raise awareness about the issues they care about.

The vote by NFL club CEOs today contradicts the statements made to our player leadership by Commissioner Roger Goodell and the Chairman of the NFL’s Management Council John Mara about the principles, values and patriotism of our League.

Our union will review the new “policy” and challenge any aspect of it that is inconsistent with the collective bargaining agreement."
NFLPA

Thus, by my logic, the orange idiot just called out the OWNERS for a policy that was meant to appease him. Hell, they all just admitted that they won't hire Kaepernick because of the backlash the PGIC would hail upon them. So? If the OWNERS allow their players to stay in the locker room during the playing of the anthem, should THEY be expected to leave the country?

Just asking.

1. Owners screwed up

Thinking this would appease this tyrant, and he'll continue going after them for revenge. They should have announced no longer having it played because its been politicized as a weapon by our president to divide us. Then file a lawsuit for damages.

Appeasement doesn't work.

4. +1. The only way to deal with a bully is to stand up to them.

7. AND the fans need to boycott until the owners stop feeding the false king.

It's time both parties hear from us. Maybe that will turn some heads.

5. He called out his own self...

He's the one who talked the owners into the policy. The "problem" was winding down.

He stirred it up again so he'd have another distraction.

6. The Orange baby

doesn't give two shi*s about patriotism or the flag. Agent orange is still pissed at the NFL because Donny boy couldn't get a franchise. Also, many years ago when Dump owned the NJ Generals in the USFL, a lawsuit against the NFL resulted in damages of a few dollars.

8. Let the Orange Fuhrer resign to start a new football league...

... Call it the WFL - White Football League. White players only. Sure to be a rousing success! Like Trump Steaks or Trump Vodka. Jared, Eric and Junior could be franchise owners.
