Is against political correctness while being tediously politically correct over the national flag and anthem.

There is so much irony in that statement it actually hurts my head, they wasted tax payers money and they disrespected the anthem/country by themselves using it as a political statement/or stunt.
Bloody clowns (and by clowns I actually mean racists).

Yeah, how much of the money I give them have they used for golfing and stunts? I mean goddamn, does fucking everything about this administration have to be this way? Every goddamn day?
So what happens when players kneel for the cowboys now?
They dont play?
And then youll have mass protests for sure.
And its sad people still want to be on the wrong side of history.

I dont think i'll forget what has already happened. This is really history in the making.

Yes, it will be in the history books, and the winner writes the history, so we will see how it goes.
It's going to be harder to White wash this, simply because it's tied to Trump. History is not going to be kind to Trump, and since he's spearheading this as President, I just don't see how it can be presented any differently.

Has anybody made a thread yet about how ya'll president thinks he invented the term 'fake'?
Because I feel that should be a thing.
Anyway, what a weird situation. This weird PR stunt and the whole national anthem thing. Plenty of football players (soccer) don't sing our lame as fuck national anthem here in the UK. Isn't a big deal.

Just look at those two ridiculous assclowns. People who voted for these nitwits deserve to be mocked forever.

Even more than that, they went on record against global warming, repealing Obamacare and quite a few things. You can't fall behind the "You don't know me" defense after you put out what you believe on display and didn't expect the pushback you got. These people are children.

For a stunt, it looks embarrassing like hes running away and cant be a bigger man standing by his fellow Americans. Read a headline describing him as fragile which is very apt and looks bad for top admins.
Motherfucker could have made a statement that he wouldnt go to a game, donated to a veteran charity and been done with it. Hed have made headlines that way too. But, no, he was so enraged at black players protesting oppression he decided to spend over a quarter million dollars and waste the secret service and local police to make a statement about how much he hates black people.
This administration has no decency st all.

This might be worse than Trump's Charlottesville comments in terms of being out there in the open with their white supremacist values. Turning his back on Americans exercising their right to protest for a just cause, peacefully at that, is an abhorrent act of racism and a premeditated stunt meant to make headlines. This is a clear attack on black people, right out there in the open from the Trump administration. They're just putting it out there, they don't give a shit.

Yup, this basically.
Yeah, but blue/all lives matter too!
Not quite. He watched the whole play, was about to leave and then apparently listened to the casts statement from the hallway.

He did not walk out of Hamilton. The play was over he was on his way out, the actor playing Hamilton started his remarks. Pence stopped and listened.

Hamilton thing was bad in a different way. It was after the show and Leslie Odom Jr made some prepared remarks that were honestly pretty reasonable and tasteful. Pence stopped and listened before leaving.
Trump and the far right turned it into a circus after the fact and the base ate it up without ever reading or hearing the original context.
Kept saying the days, weeks after Trump won to folks saying get over it, Hillary lost...
It wasn't about Hillary losing that many were upset about. It's the type of person who won that had ppl going.. wtf.
I just pray it doesn't get worse.

Pence doesn't do this without trump telling him to. And trump doesn't tell him to do it without talking to Jerry Jones first. And Jones doesn't make that statement without talking to Goodell first.
And if the NFL doesn't tell the VP/POTUS to get fucked then I'm done with them.

If the pres and vice pres are so concerned about the military and veterans, why don't they, like, you know...use their position of influence to try and improve veterans affairs? These protests aren't disrespectful to our military and vets. What's disrespectful is the shoddy care that our wounded or traumatized vets receive when they return home from service.

Trump and Jones dont do this if the NFL doesnt know first.
It's already happening, I'm afraid (the NFL caving into Trumps demands). Yesterday, the Miami Dolphins told their players either you stand for the anthem or you stay in the locker room until it is over.
Because the Republican party doesn't give two shits about veteran affairs. As soon as we're (I served in the Air Force for 12 years, got out this past summer and while financially it's been hard as shit, getting out was one of the best things that's ever happened to me) done being useful to them (aka fighting their bullshit wars), they toss us off to the side and act like we don't matter.
We're nothing more then pawns to them.
Fuck the GOP, Fuck Mike Pence, Fuck Donald Trump and Fuck any of their bullshit supporters who peddle their crap and use vets to push their own agenda.

If they were going to do that, they would have done it already.

And it's amazing how much the GOP hates the First Amendment.
Of course they hate the first amendment, it's the biggest reason why they can't turn the US into the Christian utopia they'd love it to be.
