Trump takes shots at Kaepernick, ‘Get that son of a bitch off the field’

Khan donating to Trump and ignoring pleas to hire Kaepernick when our team desperately needs a QB should speak volumes. Jaguars will forever be a shit team.

What the fuck marketing focus group decided that “divisive” was the angle for these guys? They all have the same NFL Owners Word Of The Day calendar?

“Divide” and “unite” were always shitty sentiments though. I ain’t uniting with Trump on anything. You shouldn’t lament that you can’t come together with this dweeb, you should forcefully deny him community.

For as bad as Hannity and Tucker are at Fox News, I think Pirro may be the worst. But at least there are moments like this

Trump literally just made the "problem" worse. Trump said Kaepernick should be fired, but Kaepernick already didn't have a job because of his protests. Now Trump being a fucking asshole has brought more people to Kaepernick's side and turned his simple protest into a rallying cry. There's going to be dozens if not hundreds of football players who #TakeTheKnee tomorrow. I suspect people in the crowds will do so as well.

That's the beauty of it. Yet another crisis of his own making.

Honestly, I'm more disappointed in weak statements like the one from the Eagles than teams who don't put out statements at all.

Yup.

But i will say, As an active duty member i fully support these protests.

Hopefully Trump just inadvertently got Kaepernick hired somewhere.

Public opinion about him seems to be shifting thanks to that idiot not being able to go five minutes without making people realize who the true villian is right now.

Sports fans will come to the defense of rapists and pedophiles and let them keep playing on the team or raise statues in their honor. It's pretty routine actually. I could be wrong but I don't think think gamers have gone to the level of accepting sexual molestation or other physical violence as normal.

EDIT: Actually I take that back. All the cases of sexism, racism and abuse in recent years are coming back to mind.

this is the part where people riot and march on the white house. You do not allow the president to claim that people are not allowed to protest in whatever non violent manner they feel like

Some of Trump's patriotic rhetoric reminds of the statements made by people supporting the Vietnam war back in 66 in the latest Ken Burns documentary.

Maybe next he will blame international communism for poisoning the minds of sports fans against him, and send the CIA to infiltrate the NFL?

Only Trump could get away with calling someone an SOB as the POTUS (for standing up to racism no less).

I think I'm just too used to the more unassuming brand of repugnant we get in the UK.

Misleading thread title. Yes, I read the OP but I expected him to mention Kaepernick by name and he did not. I am not defending Trump in any way but I certainly came into this thread expecting a personal attack like the one on Stephen Curry today.

I also disagree that Kaepernick is out of the league specifically because of his protests. I think his declining performance and the fact he was never that great in the first place is a huge factor in why he's blackballed. That, the protests, and his girlfriend. But that's another story.

I've had players from 3 @NFL teams say they've been directly discouraged by team management/owners not to protest or demonstrate.

People at two different TV networks told me that they've been having debates on whether or not to even show the National Anthem tomorrow.

No. They're going to cut away from the players again.

I get to 1-2 games a year and of course it's going to be National Anthem Clusterfuck Day. And here I thought the record temps and my history of heat stroke was my top concern. Good thing it's a late game so I can watch all the fallout on twitter from the early games during the tailgate. Trump arguments last fall were still calm enough that you could solve most situations by offering people a beer, but I'm not sure that's going to work this time.

If I'm blackout drunk at kickoff I won't have the mental capacity to argue with anyone. Foolproof plan!

Colin Kaepernick is going into the history books. Kids are going to read about him in 20-30 years in grade school ckassrooms. Fingers crossed. And I hope the critical statements against Trump continue and that more and more players kneel during the American national anthem. Every athlete on an American team in every major sport (NBA, NFL, MLB, and NHL) should kneel.

Hoyer, Bortles, Glennon, and whatever is going on in Cleveland all prove that Kapernick is purely being blackballed because of his protests because he's a better QB than all of those guys.

I hope that the protests become even more common now though, anything to piss off the racists conservatives that voted for drumpf and drumpf himself.

It is rather ironic that the league effectively blacklisting him for his actions last year has inadvertently opened an opportunity for this to become so much more. Had someone merely done the entirely reasonable thing and hired the guy we would never have gone down this rabbit hole. I honestly don't know where this goes yet.

Hey now, Cleveland actually has a semi-competent QB situation for once, Chicago will eventually swap in Mitch Trubisky, and San Francisco isn't going to happen for obvious reasons. I'd also cancel out the Jets, because that man is too good for a team that is clearly tanking. That being said, Jacksonville and Baltimore have no excuses.
