    trump made a yuuuuuge mistake here. He's basically forcing republicans to choose between him and football.

    One Vietnam era veteran's perspective . . .

    If it's the goal of NFL players to change hearts and minds, kneeling during the national anthem isn't a good tactic. It's incredibly naive to think that something that will make a large majority of your fellow citizens mad will be effective.

    Having said that, I don't think anyone needs to be lectured on patriotism by the Draft-Dodger-In-Chief (4-F due to heel spur, supposedly) He needs to give it a rest,

    Do you understand that the word should does not impose any legal requirements?

    So they're ignoring a rule that would impact mostly blacks? Where's that black privilege sign, it's here somewhere.

    I'd love to see your legal documentation that proves that claim.

    I simply know how to read their own rules.

    And the rules never said encouraged so you and them are dead wrong :)

    You sound like the union president I argue with all the time. In the contract it says 'employees are expected to...' and he always argues the word expectation is not a requirement.

    Umm, no.

    Trump might keep throwing sticks on the fire, but Obama started the inferno.

    Obama was a trained race-agitating and race-baiting professional. He was the definition of a deliberately divisive president. No wonder the average leftist worshiped him. He WAS their . . . God.

    So report him. If such people continue to be reported then eventually something will be done about them. That's the theory anyway.

    Don't feign such ignorance please, you're participating on a political forum, surely you have some idea. Likewise, surely you realize that if I were to answer your question I'd be here typing for 30 minutes.
