| 2017-09-23 |
| [Daily Caller] President Donald Trump declared at his Alabama rally on Friday night that he would love to see an NFL owner fire anyone who disrespects the U.S. flag and national anthem, declaring, "get that son of a bitch off the field!" "Luther [Strange] and I, and everyone in this arena tonight, are unified by the same great American values," Trump said at the rally. "We’re proud of our country. We respect our flag." "Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, ’Get that son of a bitch off the field right now, he’s fired!" Trump exclaimed. "He’s fired!" The crowd erupted into chants of "USA" at Trump’s proclamation. |

| #8 I actually used to be a big 49ers fan, up until the axed Smith and put in Afronick. Stopped caring about the 49ers then. Given what they've done and accomplished since, I can say it was a great decision. Just like I stopped watching NFL last year. Hell, I didn't watch the "Incredible OT superbowl" that happened. I don't regret that either. That's how far the NFL has fallen, Watching Joe Montana as a toddler yawning about the latest Brady record. They've squandered the League that took half a century to build in a tenth that time. |

| #7 That these multi-gazillionaires are bitching about the man keeping them down is rich. Before this kneeling version of "Kaepernicking" became a "thing," I watched NFL football. No longer. And as similarly-entitled players emulate this behavior, the likelihood of my seeing Budweiser commercials approaches the ultimate support level. |

| #6 No complaints about Pres. Trump calling out the anti-trust-exempt NFL. But, the playing of the national anthem at professional sporting events in [North] America has no place, particularly within Major League Baseball and the National Hockey League. Yes, there is tradition. But there are some horse-and-buggy relics as well. OT - Meanwhile, Pres. Trump disinvited Stephen Curry from a White House visit. I LOVE IT. |
