America Is Sick And Tired Of The NFL Cowards So Trump Just Slaughtered Them.
The proof for any theory is in its real-life application, and Americans have proved time
and again that they're sick of the National Football League.
As if their off the field violence wasn't enough, the disrespect they've shown to
the National Anthem pushed it too far, and America pushed back.
We pushed the buttons on our remotes to turn them off, we pushed the TV providers to refund
our money and we pushed the matches across the box to start the fires that burned out
jerseys and season tickets.
That backlash has cost the league hundreds of millions, and possibly billions of dollars
before the season ends, and we're just getting started.
If America has its way, the league is going to be shut down for good, and that's partly
due to the attentiveness of President Trump to the needs of America.
Not only is the anthem protest offensive to many Americans, it sets a dangerous precedent
for those to come that we don't have to respect our anthem or our country.
Americans have decided that the NFL is bad for the country, and according to the Daily
Mail, the President is backing us on it, declaring that they are going to just keep getting into
more trouble unless they start behaving the way we expect them to:
"Donald Trump resumed attacking the National Football League on Tuesday, saying the league
is 'weak and out of control' for allowing players to kneel during the playing of the
National Anthem without any consequences.
'At least 24 players kneeling this weekend at NFL stadiums that are now having a very
hard time filling up,' the president tweeted, referring to the much-noted empty seats that
have drawn unwanted attention in television broadcasts.
'The American public is fed up with the disrespect the NFL is paying to our Country,
our Flag and our National Anthem,' he wrote.
Trump blasted the league's commissioner on Black Friday for 'losing control' of
players after New York Giants defensive end Olivier Vernon took a knee for the anthem
on Thanksgiving Day."
While the President's comments will no doubt be perceived by some as being too aggressive,
it's worth noting that the President isn't the one that made this political, the NFL
is.
The President, along with most other politicians, were perfectly willing to let anyone who wished
bash their heads together every Sunday Monday and Thursday of the fall and winter.
But they started kneeling and showing disrespect and that's when football became everyone's
problem.
"President Donald Trump said Tuesday morning on Twitter that the 'weak and out of control'
NFL is losing its audience because it allows players to kneel during the National Anthem.
Even if there were nothing in the world wrong with their anthem protest, it's just bad
for business for a company to do something that so many of their fans object to.
If the fans were ok with the players showing disrespect, it would make sense for them to
carry on, but at this point, they seem to be making the statement that they're willing
to sacrifice just about any amount of money to stick it to the country and the President.
If there isn't a major change to the way they do business, the NFL is going to be left
with a whole lot of fancy stadiums and not a whole lot of fans to fill them.
More from our source about the progression of the protest over the past few weeks:
"Several Seattle Seahawks players knelt and sat on the bench during the playing of
the National Anthem on Sunday before playing the San Francisco 49ers.
'Can you believe that the disrespect for our Country, our Flag, our Anthem continues
without penalty to the players?' he asked in a Friday morning Twitter rant.
'The Commissioner has lost control of the hemorrhaging league.
Players are the boss!'
Vernon, 27, came under heavy fire from fans for his protest.
Trump has previously demanded that NFL players who kneel during the anthem to protest the
treatment of African-Americans should be fired or suspended.
'The NFL is now thinking about a new idea – keeping teams in the Locker Room during
the National Anthem next season.
That's almost as bad as kneeling!' he wrote last week.
'When will the highly paid Commissioner finally get tough and smart?
This issue is killing your league!'
Some players and teams have stayed in their locker rooms before games this year, emerging
only after the National Anthem is played in order to avoid the decision of whether or
not to stand.
Nine days ago Trump slammed Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch for continuing
to sit for The Star Spangled Banner, despite standing for the Mexican anthem during a game
played at Azteca Stadium in Mexico City.
NFL viewership on television was down about 5 percent over the first seven weeks of the
NFL season, according to CNN.
However, that decline is part of an overall downtick in ratings.
