“Why is the NFL getting massive tax breaks while at the same time disrespecting our Anthem, Flag and Country? Change tax law!” Trump wrote in a post on Twitter.
It was not clear what exactly Trump was demanding since the NFL gave up its tax-exempt status in 2015. The White House did not reply to requests for comment.
Poor snowflakes! The Russian colluded fake V.P. can’t stay in a room with women, or handle Americans taking part in their right to free speech expression!
The National Anthem protests aren’t hurting NFL ticket sales. But players are still being pressured by their owners and management to stop the protests. As depicted here, some are more concerned about businesses than about black lives. More players would be protesting if they had the job security to do so.
How much did Pence’s NFL staged walk out cost tax payers?
I did a search to see what they claim they want. The only demands I could find were: 1) an NFL policy guaranteeing no blowback for exercising free speech on social justice issues.2) a league wide plan to improve racial equity.I guess they want more highly paid white football players as they are 70% black & the US population is about 16% black

Golly, and all because of Colin K.
Astonishing that the NFL is so weak it cannot withstand a single player protesting.

It’s a shame that the simple, needless, killing of black men have ruined such a grand, needlessly, violent game.

Black athletes need to understand they need the permission of their White owners to exercise their First Amendment rights.
