I'm not thrilled to see sports politicized(which I blame Trump for), :hubie:but all peaceful protest is fine by me.





As for Rubin's take, I agree with his assessment:
>Trumps free to say what he wants
>The players are free to do as they please
>Their employer is free to respond(legally) as they see fit
>and consumers(fans) are free to respond(legally) however they want

:yeshrug:

It's not saying much if anything at all tho. It's playing traffic cop or some shyt.

Trump saying what he says isn't merely just saying it but :hubie:.

None of the protests should be controversial but :francis: this is America.

you can't blame trump for politicizing sports.

1936 olympics.
1968 olympics.
Ali & the Vietnam war.
Jackie Robinson.

there are probably many more examples.
trump is just putting his unique stink on it.

:ehh:Agreed... but the point being made is that he can. Its perfectly legal and everyone is free to respond(legally) to it how they wish.




Do you think he is incorrect in his assessment?:ld:

i see you playing devil's advocate and respect that.

i agree that he is not breaking a law but he is breaking the spirit of what it means to be the president of the united states of america.
the tone he sets is detrimental to the idea of america.

can he say what he says? yes.
will what he says have effects? yes.
can we all respond to what he says? yes

but when it is all said and done, i hope america steps back and takes a good long look at it's self.
especially americans who voted for trump.

i love america and that is why i am critical of it what it is fukking up.
america is going through a humongous fukk up right now and it needs to be addressed.

hopefully america's immune system will be able to remove this infection and recognize it in the future.

this can be applied to every president ever though. obama also faced heat from critics for commenting on things they thought he shouldn't have. same with bush jr before him.

as for the people that voted in trump, this is the reason. had hillary won the election they believed this 'unpatriotic' anti-america sentiment would have continued to go unchecked.

having said all that i don't think trump should suggest anyone be fired, even if he's within his right. not becoming of a leader.

Didn't watch the op and slight ot but I've always grouped libertarians and pedophiles together


:yeshrug:
Blatant derailment adding nothing to the conversation :russ:
Complete with a tasteless libertarian slander.





Fortunately you lean left so you can do so regularly without any fear of being bushed or flamed.:wow:
