Disagree. I'm pretty sure he knows he is an asshole. He just doesn't care.
Contrast that with other politicians who act like assholes and then pretend like they are holier than thou.
It is part of the appeal of Trump.
I agree with you there. I think he might care, but not very much. He probably has no need to.
Which is part of his charm. All of them are assholes. Trump however owns it.
He lives in a place where time doesn't exist. Dude is on some serious sh!t
That will be difficult since they can't hear me. It doesn't matter to them, either. They really couldn't care less.
The point of the meme was to make it very clear just WHY the players were suddenly standing during the anthem. They were being paid to in order to get people to join the military.
So heels has no argument about Trump doing nothing in PR? It's not a state. Damn y'all are easy
Weak. And disrespectful to those folks that died. I'm beginning to think strum, chick is a troll.
I honestly think this whole anthem thing is the beginning of the end of the NFL. All of the CTE issues will now be able to find toeholds in the cracks in the facade, which will ultimately be what brings it down.
I don't care one way or the other. I will miss fantasy, but I won't miss any of the rest of it.
I sure as hell won't miss betting on it. How can one person be so so so bad at betting NFL. :-( ok wrong thread y'all carry on.
I think you might be right. I used to love it, but I'll bet I don't watch more than half a dozen complete games a year now. I would much rather play golf on Sunday afternoons and maybe watch a few highlights. I don't think I'd really miss it if it went away. Also, only thing I really care about in the NBA is how the Carolina guys are doing.
You've contradicted yourself countless times in this thread. You obviously care. Its pathetic watching you try to convince yourself and others that you don't.
Funny enough, saying you don't care is like your own little form of virtue signaling.
Could be. But it'll probably take 15-20 years before it becomes glorified flag football. I'll be too old to care by then.
Trick to betting the NFL is to do a lot of research and come up with your pick then go the other way
I watch every Redskin game with my brother (we watch and talk on the phone). That's a cool bonding thing we have, since there's a huge distance between us, geographically. I don't watch other NFL games. i do watch college games, however.
Maybe there will be some other sport by then.
When young kids aren't playing, it's pretty much over. The roots of the tree die.
Actually, the constitution only applies to the federal government. I.e.: the Feds cannot prohibit freedom of speech, assembly, religion etc., but a private or publicly owned company can require whatever they wish as a condition of employment. Don't know what it has to do with beer bellied middle-aged white men, but I came a little late to this part of the conversation.
Very similar situations. Quarterbacks that suck, but put on very public displays of how they feel. Except of course that the race card got tossed into Kaeps situation cuz people couldn't accept that he's a shitty QB.
I knew the entertainment factor of his presidency was going to be high, with his opposition twisting themselves into knots over everything he says/does - but it's getting delivered in spades. Much more enjoyable than I could have imagined.
You misspelled doormat.
So I guess the NFL is going to stop fining players for wearing patches of dead friends' initials, and unapproved cleats now. I mean, they'd be stifling the players' freedom of expression/speech, right?
Really? Tebow was widely mocked by people for his religion. It wasn't like it was a secret. Not sure how you missed it.
He really wasn't. He was always spoken of highly in terms of his convictions and likability. He was almost always spoken of as a stand up guy partly because of his convictions. He was sometimes criticized because of his views (on abortion and stuff like that) and how vocal he was. It was never about being a Christian. Everyone who is vocal about almost anything is going to face some noise from one corner or another. If anything, the person he was helped him more than it hurt him.
He was also widely defended by people for his religion. Both guys found a way to publicly speak out for something they believe in, both were criticized by some and defended by others. They're quite analogous situations; I'm a little confused by the attempt to hold Tebow up as some sort of drastic contrast to Kapernick (sp).
I think the point is that Tebow didn't take a knee during the anthem, Kap did. That's the difference. Those guys can do what they want but why protest a symbol that allows you the freedom to protest? That's contradictory to me.
I don't disagree with that and I'm not trying to hold Tebow up in any way. @coryfly said that no one mocked him. That's obviously incorrect and I was just letting him know that.
The world would be a lot better place if all of us were more like Tim Tebow.
