UPDATE
Trump is still flapping his gums via Twitter because he clearly doesn't have enough to do! Here's what he had to say in response to Roger Goodell: Here's what some NFL owners had to say in response to Trump's comments: More players have come out to share their thoughts on Trump's comments regarding the NFL and the Warriors: ORIGINAL POST
I really really wanted to do this post last night, but couldn't cause the things that were said made me sooo mad that I thought it best to not get on here and start typing away. Last night, Trump was in Huntsville, Alabama campaigning for Luther Strange, who's a candidate seeking to secure a seat in the Senate that was left vacant by Jeff Sessions. As expected, Trump went off the rails and started talking a bunch of nonsense in an effort to appease his base. Somehow, during his speech, Trump thought it would be a good idea to speak about certain things going on in the NFL...wanna take a wild guess what those certain things are? Just hold on to your guess and continue reading to see if you're correct. Trump had the following to say about those certain things, "Wouldn't you love to see one of the NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, "Get that son of a bitch off the field right now? You know, some owner is going to say, 'That guy who disrespects our flag, he's fired."' He also encouraged people to leave the stadium to protest players kneeling during the national anthem, saying "I guarantee things will stop." I can feel myself getting pissed off all over again and you should be pissed off by what this embarrassment of a human being had to say as well. Before we move on, I just wanna get some things off my mind. Not standing for the anthem or raising a fist through the anthem is not disrespect, it's mine, yours, and these players' rights as American citizens. And let's not forget that it's not about the flag itself, people keep forgetting the meaning behind these protests. Let's remember that Colin Kaepernick started his protests in an effort to highlight the unjust and numerous killings of unarmed black and brown people @ the hands of police....remember that? Trump saying what he said has made it clear that he's a racist, he has no idea what he's talking about, and he's contributing to the problem isn't of helping. Trump just loves to call for the firing of somebody when in fact, it's he that should be fired because he's an embarrassment to this country and he's not doing a damn thing to help this country or bring it back together. So, you want these men to be fired for exercising their rights as Americans? Ok, so let's say that these owners do fire these players, guess what's gonna happen next! Even bigger boycotts, lawsuits, etc. Lastly, people can leave whatever stadium they may be in, but that's never going to stop these protests! The only thing that's going to stop the protests are people who stop killing unarmed black and brown folks. It's not rocket science, it's simple! Here are reactions from the NFL's commissioner and players:
