Horse shit. Trumpler didn’t win. He wasn’t in the game.
I find it laughable that Trumpler is so desperate for a win, anything tat isn’t an utter disaster or a scandal is considered a win.
Keep that bar low, Amerika.
An interesting question... If their cause is so important why haven't they done anything for it during the off season?
I would almost prefer that they stop playing the anthem at games. Why give them the opportunity to make absolute asses of themselves? SMH
Do I think people should kneel during the anthem - no.
But then again it's not like the NBA or MLB or NHL have this rule.
You know why?
Common sense.
This is basically the equivalent of having a rule that states "wipe your ass after you shit".
Do you really need a rule for what's a given?
Why haven’t the league owners voted to fire the, IMHO, incompetent league commissioner who, also IMHO, is largely to blame for “Take a Knee Gate?” Why is he largely to blame, lack of leadership and a pacifist attitude toward the matter. Based upon his actions or lack there of, one can reasonably conclude Mr. Goodell is another self loathing, America hating, Hillary voter.
Note to the NFL owners, if it’s broke fix it. It’s broke. Finish the job and fire Goodell!!!
News flash - Trump is in it to win it. And he did!!! Huge touch down for our team!!!!

The league owners couldn't fire Roger because until this year, there wasn't a ruling on the Anthem. Before the NFL had the contract with the Department of Defense roughly 6 to 8 years ago, the team's would be in the locker rooms except for the Super Bowl.
In my estimation since part of my graduate work was in Sports Administration and Management, this is at best a poor compromise. The NFL has a huge populace of black athletes and many have seen Kaepernick and Eric Reid not obtain a job yet while worse credential players have gotten a job. I believe this further creates a divide and continues to alienate.
