And why should anyone watch?

Morbid curiosity?

The real answer is you shouldn't. Sanders is just going to make this whole thing worse.

 

[iammeiam]

"Did the President go too far by referring to these players as SOBs?"

"I think it is always appropriate for our President to defend..." blahblahblah

Now giving him shit for tweeting about sports and not Puerto Rico.

"He's not emphasizing sports, he's emphasizing something that should be unifying..."


same old bullshit, different day.

Press going in, at least.

If they did we'd literally be living in a fucking police state lol what the hell.

 

[Dishwalla]

lol she's up there caring more about the anthem and the flag than anything. Pointless to watch these things.

 

[FyreWulff]

I wonder if he gets a cut of the merchandise sales that have his name on?

All jersey sale royalties collectively go to all the athletes via the NFLPA

Nah man, he's so fucking smart.

Hey my ratings are in the shitter. Better tweet some crazy shit to fire up my base and take all the heat off my Russia investigation.

 

[shadow_shogun]

Their excuse for Trump calling black nfl players, SOBs. "It is always appropriate for the president to defend our flag".

 

[Mahonay]

If they did we'd literally be living in a fucking police state lol what the hell.

They only made that statement in response to the president of the United States demanding players stand for the anthem.

It would be hilarious if the result of all this drama is that teams start to not be present on the field for the anthem at all.

I would vote for Pop in 2020 so damn fast.

 

[iammeiam]

Press just asked why they're claiming Kapernick's protest isn't about race, not taking him at his word, while the President takes white supremacists at their word that their protests are about heritage.

Her response: "Maybe they should protest the police protecting them on the field instead of the flag."

She seems so at peace with the crap she's spouting. At least Spicer was clearly being eaten alive from the inside

That's how it used to be until the military literally started paying the NFL to run propaganda for them.

Why is Pop so goddamned on point all the time? It's time for a clone machine.

I know how you feel...

So I responded...


My response didn't go over well.

You've got me beat at least. I called my uncle a "two-faced fuck" over some Trump bullshit several months back and have been on bad terms with that side of the family ever since. They could get swallowed by a fucking sinkhole and I wouldn't take time off from video gaming to attend their funerals. That's the person I've become now. That is what the last year has done to me.

Siiigh

Times like those I miss Spicer

Sanders is just frustrating

 

[TheCochese]

I hate the Spurs but would follow Pop anywhere.

Shannon "Too Trill" Sharpe talking that talk once again

Shannon in his head is probably saying, "Skip, you motherfucker, just don't get it."

The NFL is 70% black and still there was no support when Colin first protested? Fuck man.

But the protesting technically is before the game haha not during.

Also I loved your reply

 

[RPGCrazied]

Did sanders really say that? People kneeling is protesting stadium cops? Do these people not listen to themselves speak? Holy shit.

*Claps*

Pop is so on point.

 

[Mahonay]

Her job is to just attack and say crazy nonsense to distract from not having answers. I can't watch it myself, makes me too angry.

 

[Pastry]

And Pop is an Air Force veteran so it just makes the whole thing even better.

 

[cwmartin]

I know, but with the way jersey sales work in the NFL, it's not like he's really making any additional money. You don't get paid based on your specific jersey sales. All that money is pooled together and split up. And the NFL still makes bank off of it, so how are you protesting when you're still giving the organization you're protesting money? It's like when Trump supporters "protested" Starbucks last year by asking for their name to be written as "Trump" as a protest against the company.

Oh interesting, I didn't know that! Thanks for the info. Agree with you here

 

[jbug617]

I don't know if it is true but on Twitter people are saying that Jerry Jones told the team that no one can take a knee

That's the beginning of a legit conversation

 

[Mahonay]

That certainly sounds like something Jerry Jones would do. Could just be a made up rumor though unless there's some kind of reporting on it.

 

[DietRob]

I don't know if it is true but on Twitter people are saying that Jerry Jones told the team that no one can take a knee

True. Cowboys go as far as supposedly practicing to line up for the anthem.

 

[Crimson_Gold]

Didn't Shaun King report that yesterday, as well

 

[bob_arctor]

Man Jerry ain't say shit.

 

[Mahonay]

He did?

Jesus, as if there weren't enough reasons already to tell Jerry Jones to fuck himself.

Can someone link that if it was reported?

 

[TheCochese]

Man Jerry ain't say shit.

Jurrahhy's an authoritarian just like Trump. I'd put money on it.

 

[Dishwalla]

I mean we'll see what happens tonight, but I'm expecting the same amount of Cowboys players to kneel as I do Nascar drivers.

 

[Lunar15]

I like how Pop's statement centered this 100% on the actual topic at hand.

 

[Mahonay]

Yup. Goes directly at the issue.

 

[iammeiam]

Did sanders really say that? People kneeling is protesting stadium cops? Do these people not listen to themselves speak? Holy shit.

The question put to her was why they're claiming the kneeling isn't a race issue, when Kaepernick said he's kneeling to protest the poor treatment of African Americans (Sanders earlier claimed the 'focus had shifted' and it was not a race-related protest), yet when white supremacists claim their protests and rallies are just about protecting their heritage and not racism, the President seems to take white supremacists at their word.

Sanders response amounted to "Well if he wants to protest cops maybe he should protest cops at the stadium instead of protesting the flag and the anthem."

She was later called on that and asked if she'd meant to indicate football players should directly protest police and said a bunch of nothing at it. Basically she said a dumb thing, was called on it, and went back to just AMERICA! FLAG! RESPECT!

Shannon "Too Trill" Sharpe talking that talk once again

I never liked Shannon Sharpe as a player (loved his brother though), but this was great, as was his hall of fame speech.

Pity that he has to work with Skip Bayless. He deserves better.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

as I do Nascar drivers.

Must be nice living in fantasy land.

 

[Nafai1123]

Pop on point as usual. It's crazy just how far ahead the NBA is compared to the NFL. In the NBA, players force the league to strip a team from a racist POS owner. In the NFL, owners force a player out of the league for being a "uppity n***er" who won't stand for a piece of cloth.

 

[gcubed]

Must be nice living in fantasy land.

... He means zero

Pop is always amazing on race topics.

 

[Lunar15]

Must be nice living in fantasy land.

he's saying he expects 0 nascar drivers and 0 cowboys players to kneel during the anthem.

 

[tedtropy]

So to summarize Sarah: the President isn't against the First Amendment...he's just against certain sons of bitches practicing it. He's just so patriotic, guys!
